Is family enough?

Anupamaa allowed the love of her children and family and household to fill the emptiness of her unreciprocated love for Vanraj. He was inconsistent here and there so a few instances where he tried to make Kavya jealous by getting close to Anupamaa and such gestures might have kept her going thinking this relationship is manageable. But after the EMA was revealed and the divorce was also had, she cannot lie to herself that there's any romantic or even a companionship type of love in her life. But does she not deserve that? Are just kids, in laws, parents and other family ever enough? I mean how much can you say or do with people who aren't your age, may not share your interests or can't understand your unique perspective on things? And for that matter, even a super loving and supportive family can not fill the void that romantic love can. Here is a family that's not even appreciative of her, makes her life a living hell and literally cannot stand to see her happy or successful in life. With such a terrible family, she is more than entitled to have one relationship in her life where someone thinks the world of her and would do anything to see her happy. By Samar's own admission, even as the son who loves her to no end, he would also not be able to do the things Anuj wants to and would for Anupamaa. I think it's not that the four stooges cannot accept a friendship or love after a certain age. They happily accepted Vanraj and Kavya's second marriage and had no problems with their friendship earlier either. They would probably accept anyone's friendship or love also. The problem lies with the fact that someone thinks so highly of Anupamaa, who they treat like dirt. And it's not enough that they abuse her and humiliate her, they want everyone to do so clearly. They cannot stand that the person who they don't value, think is nothing but their personal servant and who they don't think worthy of any love, is actually the object of someone's affection. And not just affection, but a never ending, enduring love and a flaming passion. But whoever they are, whatever a family is like, everyone needs that kind of relationship. Life for her, or any woman, should not just be that you devote yourself to family and when that's not enough, go to work also and then play with your grandchildren and then die. Life should be worth living for them also. And there's really no age, time or place for love. It's everywhere and everyone is entitled to it.

Beautifully beautifully put ❤❤❤👏👏👏

I completely second ur thought.

The kind of happiness comfort sense of belonging which a romantic love gives has no replacement at all.

He or she wld be having THAT SPECIAL PERSON in his or her life who belongs to each other alone and who would pour love on each other. The happiness and satisfaction that thought brings is pure bliss.

And yes love has no age barrier. It can happen anytime to anyone. Coz it is sacred and magical , it is the core purpose of life ❤

Beautifully put. A vast majority of women in India live a loveless life. Anupama too thinks she can live a life of service . What she hasn't experienced she assumes is not for her. She has to understand to respect and value the man who celebrates and recognises her worth. Who respects her, who treats her kindly, who teaches her things. She will realise in time,

Anu DOESN'T want Kinjal/Nandini/Pakhi to EVER bcm another Anupama - She's atleast realised the life she's led is not worth the dust under some people's feet.

she requires time to realise her worth, value and who she is.

26years is a LONG time. Almost 2 liferimes.

It's not easy to switch off from being the doormat that she's used to being to toxic pple in her life (V, B, + T).

If Scums like V + K cn be entitled to 'love', new start - then why not Anu?

She's slowly venturing there... accepting Anuj with his love is a HUGE step.

Of course everyone deserves this kind of love and companionship in their lives, unfortunately most are deprived and try to patch together whatever they have and live in a bubble of it.💔

Very well said 👏

Each relationship has it's own boundaries. And its own joys. To try and compensate one for another only leads to dissatisfaction in the long run, ruining what exists in the pursuit of what isn't, and can't be. Subsuming your own identity to fulfil others' expectations from you will only lead to heartache in the long term. Human nature (even before we factor in the staggering selfishness of the inhabitants of Vanraj ka ghar) is such that the more you give the more people take. And, it doesn't take long for that taking to turn into further expectations and demands. Into rights. Fertile breeding ground for discontent.

Anupama has been treated abominably in that house. She was never a person, just a sum of different labels marriage had tagged her with. And the one from which came all those labels, wife, was the biggest sham of them all.

I hope she allows herself to reach out and accept Anuj in her life. In a role she is comfortable with. Setting aside what anyone else thinks, feels, expects.

Anupama ne khud se bhi zyada V+family ko pyaar kiya par Samar ko chodke sab ne anu ko use kiya(bapuji ne bhi anu ko bully hone diya) aise mai anu itni jaldi trust nahi kar sakti kyu ke zakham bahot Gehra hai dhire dhire heal hoga par tab tak wo dost hi rahegi Anupama ki puri duniya sifr Shah thi abbi to usne khula asman dekha hai to Anupama apna time legi...
