Hey everyone,
I’ve been reading your thoughts on The Threads of Destiny, and first—thank you. Whether it’s praise or criticism, your engagement means the world to me. That said, I wanted to take a moment to talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while now—Siya.
Some of you feel that she’s “too weak,” and I understand where that perspective comes from. Lekin kabhi kabhi na, strong dikhna aur asli mein strong hona—yeh dono ek hi sikke ke do pehlu hote hain. And when the person who has always been your support system ends up hurting you, the side of the coin that flips isn’t always in your control.
Siya loved Abhimanyu, yes—but she also loved and trusted her brother Rajveer her whole life. Rajveer made a mistake, no doubt about that. But people do make mistakes. And sometimes, forgiving them—no matter how soon it happens—is the only way you can find peace for yourself.
Mujhe yeh samajh nahi aata ki log book characters se itni perfection kyun expect karte hain? Books are supposed to make you feel, not just impress you. Har character relatable nahi hoga, but agar kisi ko Siya mein apne jaisa kuch dikhe, toh uska bhi haq hai exist karne ka.
And something I genuinely want to ask—if Abhimanyu could forgive Rajveer, if they could move past everything and become friends again, then why is Siya expected to carry the grudge forever? She’s a sister too. Maybe she forgave him too soon, maybe she didn’t—but that’s just the kind of person she is. Soft-hearted, not weak.
This note isn’t meant for one person in particular—it’s a response to a pile of harsh opinions I’ve come across lately. Siya isn’t perfect. But then again, none of us are.
Thanks for reading—and thank you for staying.
Love,
Aani
