* HappyMarriageCharade: Kamal and Neelam have been playing the part of an old married couple that are still in love for several years; this forms a major part of their conflict.

* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: Kamal's infidelities are presented as a significant character flaw, which had led to his and Neelam's marriage turning into a HappyMarriageCharade, but Ayesha's growing feelings for Sunny are presented much more sympathetically; admittedly, there are significant differences in how the two deal with it. Kamal seems to have thought nothing of cheating on his long-suffering and loving wife for years till Kabir tells him that everyone has always known about his womanizing; he seems genuinely surprised when Neelam tells him the only reason she didn't leave him was because her family wouldn't take her back due to dishonour; and, most damningly of all, his womanizing doesn't stop him from (at the start) opposing Ayesha divorcing Manav and [[{{Hypocrite}} telling her that marriages are commitments for life]]. Ayesha, meanwhile, has a truly obnoxious husband and mother-in-law, has been considering divorce even before she met Sunny, and agonizes over her feelings for him even though he's a much better partner.
