What we seen in Anupamaa's eyes was clearly not sadness, it was fear, abject FEAR.
And not fear that CA will be unsafe because she is not worried about Maaya's intentions. Her fear is how Anuj will react. If he will harm himself, or Maaya or someone else.
The exact same fear she had when she used to make trivial mistakes as Vanraj's wife.
Inherently she is the same woman who was ready as Vanraj's doormat all the time because she was under the illusion that he loved her, in some twisted way but that's what she believed. She divorced because her illusion that Vanraj loved her broke, not because she suddenly realized she has been mistreated for 26 years.
It is also why she is still the doormat for HasLee and her biological kids, she thinks they love her.
So now that she knows Anuj loves her, she is also ready to do anything for him and her feelings for him mirror exactly what they were for Vanraj. He gets annoyed once and she gets paranoid that he will leave her and will change her priorities to the other extreme immediately.
I do not sympathize with Anupamaa, simply because I don't think her character has grown as a woman at all. But yes, Anuj is another Vanraj, just that this Vanraj is attracted to Anupamaa and doesn't consider her forced upon himself.Other than that, absolutely no difference.
Vanraj wanted him and his kids (not their kids but just his) to be Anupamaa's priority and blamed her for failing as a mother many times, before and after divorce. So did Anuj. He expected Anupamaa to prioritize him and his daughter (not their daughter, but his) and blamed her for failing as a mother as soon as things went south.
I really hate the revisionist history and absurd comparisons going on here recently
No, a woman intentionally ignoring her adopted small kid and emotionally cheating on her husband with ex is NOT same as vanraj. And no, thats not a TRIVAL mistake, thats abuse of a child
These posts are absurd and are pretending that a woman can never be wrong or questioned no matter what she does. That no one can expect anything from a woman just because she is a woman. That questioning anything a woman does instead of always letting her hurt others automatically makes it abuse. That a man can be completely neglected as a spouse and wife can emotionally cheat but the man should keep quiet or he is an abuser and MCP. That a child can be abused and hurt, the man can be abused and hurt but should forever keep quiet or be labeled as an abuser
Expecting the bare minimum from a spouse, ecpecting her to actually care for a 7 year old kid and giving time to her husband in a new marriage is NOT abuse just because someone is a woman
And no, no spouse in the real world will bear if someone emotionally cheats with her ex. All such posts pretend that anupama is being asked to chose between her own kids and current family, but anyone who saw the series knows she spends most time with Baa and Vanraj, she ignored Anu, not for her kids but for Baa and Vanraj, lets not pretend people are not watching the show where anupama got late because she was cooking khichdi for her abusive ex in law
I have seen the comparisons becoming more and more absurd just because people want to force rhis comparisons. Words like abuse and MCP lose all meaning if you use it in such absurd way and this is one of the biggest problems women face in the real world. Just because some people misuse the gravity of these allegations, any situation does not conveniently become abuse just because a woman is questioned, big words cannot be thrown willy nilly just because a man does or says something. Words and terms have huge impact and relevance
Basically the gist of all such posts is that if you have any expectations from a woman, if you call her out on her neglecting an orphan kid or emotionally cheating with her ex, it automatically becimes absue just because she is a woman which is simple ridiculous.
How are we different from characters in the show, blindly, unconditionally, worshipping Anuapam? The gist of these posts is that Anupama can do whatever she wants, neglect relationships, no one can question her, or its labeled as abuse
