My Thoughts on the Story
I find myself agreeing with several points raised by RCF and Harry Jordan regarding the narrative choices, especially in the final chapter…
I’ve read the final chapter, and while I initially felt disappointed, I wanted to reassess it with a more open mind. There are certainly aspects that could have been better executed, and some narrative choices feel forced rather than organic.
1. Desai’s Character Shift & Forced Cuckoldry Plot
The biggest issue for me is how Desai’s character was rewritten. In the previous version, he was a rapist and was rightfully hated, but here, he was restructured into a cuckold, which feels unnatural. The hints that he was envious of Krish and wanted to impersonate him were there, but that doesn’t directly translate into him being a cuckold. His past with Ananya, where he made her sleep with others, was about power and control, not cuckoldry.
Even in this chapter, his intention was to expose Krish’s unchanged nature, not to willingly allow Krish to be with Meera. So why did he suddenly swap places? That felt out of character, almost as if it was done just to label him as a cuckold. The explanation about him wanting a partner who wouldn’t regret being with other men felt weak and inconsistent with his past actions. Desai carried Meera’s picture long before he even knew she was sleeping with other men, so this twist doesn’t quite fit.
2. The Unexplained Bond Between Desai & Meera
Throughout the rewritten story, there’s been an increasing emphasis on the bond between Meera and Desai. While their affair was evident, this chapter tries to frame it as something deeper, something Krish himself recognized as a genuine connection. Yet, when the final confrontation happens, Meera’s emotions are never clearly explained.
Did she truly love Desai at some point? Was she simply caught up in the physical connection? If Krish saw their bond as something strong enough for them to be together, why was it dismissed so easily in the end? If Meera could fall for Desai because of the situation, what’s stopping her from falling for another man in a similar circumstance?
The entire arc of Desai and Meera was left unresolved emotionally. Instead of a well-defined choice, it felt like Meera was just reacting to Desai’s cuckoldry rather than addressing her own feelings. The spitting scene, which previously held significance, was reduced to nothing, further proving that her emotions towards Desai were not explored properly.
3. Krish’s Sacrifice Undermined & Meera’s Glorification
One of the most impactful parts of the previous chapters was the emotional depth of Krish’s sacrifice. He knew his own weaknesses, understood that staying with Meera would only lead to repeating the same mistakes, and made the heartbreaking choice to let her go. Yet, instead of this being acknowledged, the chapter turns it into a weakness.
Meera suddenly shifts blame onto Krish, calling him heartless, accusing him of making her sleep with other men and playing games. But didn’t she always have a choice? If Desai was just another man Krish pushed her towards, then why did she share a deeper bond with him? Why does the narrative now make Krish the villain when his actions were, at their core, selfless?
The chapter had so many moments where Krish could have been the one to recognize Desai’s nature and pull Meera back before she made a mistake, but instead, the focus was placed on Meera realizing Desai’s flaws herself. The final glory of realization went entirely to Meera, making Krish feel like an afterthought in his own love story.
4. Pregnancy as a Forced Plot Device
This was probably the weakest part of the ending for me. After all the powerful emotions and conflicts, why use pregnancy as the reason for Meera and Krish’s reunion?
If Meera was truly done with both Krish and Desai, would she have ever reached out to Krish again if not for the pregnancy? Her final words before finding out were strong: she was done with both men, with their games, with everything. Yet, suddenly, she comes back to Krish. Was it because she truly realized she loved him, or was it because of the baby?
I do believe Meera loved Krish, but the way this was handled made it feel like a compromise rather than a real emotional resolution. Instead of using pregnancy as the reason, the story could have focused more on Krish changing, Meera seeing that change, and both of them finding their way back to each other in a meaningful way. Then, after they reunite, they could have discovered the pregnancy, making it a moment of joy rather than a narrative crutch.
5. Lack of Consequences for Meera’s Actions
One of the biggest issues in this chapter is how Meera is absolved of any responsibility for her choices. While Krish is blamed for everything, Meera’s own actions - her willingness to engage with Desai, her decisions throughout the story - are never truly examined.
At various points, she made choices. Yet the final chapter treats her as if she was simply a victim of circumstance, reacting to the men around her rather than taking ownership of her actions. A stronger resolution would have been for Meera to acknowledge her mistakes and show meaningful personal growth, rather than shifting blame entirely onto Krish.
6. Underdeveloped Redemption Arc (or Lack Thereof) for Desai
If Desai was meant to be a reformed character, the story should have given us clearer moments of self-reflection and personal change. Instead, his transformation feels abrupt and contradictory. How does a man who once thrived on power and control suddenly embrace cuckoldry?
A more believable ending could have involved Desai recognizing his own toxicity, understanding that he was never capable of true love, and stepping away with a real sense of remorse. Instead, his shift feels like a forced twist rather than an organic evolution of his character.
7. A Missed Opportunity for a Stronger Ending
Rather than using pregnancy as a convenient reason for Meera and Krish to reunite, the story could have explored a more meaningful emotional resolution. If their love was truly meant to last, it should have been rediscovered through self-awareness, growth, and time - not through an external plot device.
Imagine an ending where Meera realizes Krish has changed, that he’s no longer the same man who made mistakes in the past. Imagine if their love rekindled not because of obligation, but because they genuinely found their way back to each other. The pregnancy revelation could have then been a moment of shared joy - rather than a narrative crutch forcing their reunion.
8. The Lost Depth of Secondary Characters
Another issue is the sidelining of other significant characters. Figures like Ananya, who played a major role earlier, disappear without much resolution. What happened to them? Did they have any lingering influence on Meera’s choices? Their absence makes the final chapter feel disconnected from the rest of the story.
A few additional scenes showing how these characters react to the resolution - perhaps Ananya confronting Desai or reflecting on her past - could have provided a more satisfying and complete ending.
Final Thoughts:
The first half of the final chapter was brilliant - raw, emotional, and filled with tension. But the second half lost its way. The forced cuckoldry arc, the rushed love triangle resolution, and the reliance on pregnancy as a plot device all weakened what could have been a powerful conclusion.
Rather than feeling like a natural ending to a beautifully complex story, this chapter felt contrived - as if it was bending characters to fit a predetermined outcome rather than allowing their natural evolution. Krish and Meera’s reunion needed more depth, more honesty, and more emotional resolution.
There were so many ways this could have ended better:
- Meera choosing to stand on her own, learning from her mistakes.
- Krish and Meera gradually finding their way back to each other based on love and growth.
- Desai having a genuine moment of self-awareness rather than an inconsistent personality shift.
Instead, what we got was a rushed and incomplete resolution that left many of the story’s core themes unresolved.
