Our decisions our choices are made by what we see as a value. Rakhi has had a problem with Pramoda value system with the shahs right from the outset. Agree that the shahs are dysfunctional and every character has multiple flaws yet there are certain underlying factors holding them.
Kinjal has had all material comforts but the underlying need in her is care doing little things out of care. She craved for a bunch of folks to love and be loved. Toshu had what she missed and she fell for him. If you remember the way he kept running and Samar followed, calned him and brought him back. He has always thought it okay to emotionally blackmail folks to have his way.
Rakhi is very manipulative insults others without any qualms and is very domineering. One does not become successful by trampling over others. She in vengeful, arrogant and always wants to have her way be it with Pramod, kinjal the Shahs or paritosh. She would have been the same with a guy of her choice for Kinjal.
If kinjal is becoming like Anupama Parirosh is become a version of Rakee and Vara which is a toxic potion in Kinjal view.
Paritosh is not keen on a win win option. He wants a social status that he has not earned but he has bitten a bait or entered a trap set by rakhe and will only complicate kinjal life.
Both felt stifled by their families but they never discussed how to sail through it. Anupama never imposed her views or manipulated kinjal. Rakhi manipulates and Toshu in the hope that she breaks the marriage.
Sacrifices have been made by pramod and Kinjal but never part of Rakis character arc as seen in the plot development.
It is that Kinjal is unwilling to step out as yet she seeks time to voluntarily step out not falling to her mothers ploy.
