After being a personal victim of losing my mental sanity for respecting elders and being ostracized because I married as per my own wishes, I totally stand by what Dimpy is doing.
- She was never looked at with a welcoming look by the Shahs (except Samar and Kinjal) when she first came in after being r**ped and abandoned. Everyone was either judging her for being violated or was hating her for putting the family in danger.
- Her judgment for Anupamaa is partly justified, because she knew that Anupamaa will never speak harshly against the shahs, come what may. It's also why she thinks Kinjal is ganging up with Leela against her and finds her supportive words difficult to believe. Yes there is Barkha's brain poisoning, but even without that, she has been a permanent babysitter for CA and seen Anuj's undivided attention to her vs Anupamaa being constantly conflicted, especially for people who badmouth her. It's difficult to feel sympathy for someone who is ruining her own life to support people who constantly spew hatred. Remember when she said "Choti ignore to hui hai" but was immediately shut up for good? Hence it's not just money that makes her support Anuj over Anupamaa.
- Dimpy suggested change of DA's name that was ungrateful, but why don't we see that the main trigger was not just Anupamaa coming in, but also bringing her unemployed minions who were unnecessarily meddling with DA affairs under the pretext of "making things more comfortable for MAA". And wasn't Anupamaa leaving the DA that was on Dukhmukh's land a good way of snapping ties with the Shahs, she started a new DA in a place that's rightfully hers anyways right?? I was silently supporting Dimple even in that track and loved it just because MAA was finally out of that manhoos property tax sucking building.
- All the arguments happening in Shah house are because Dimpy is calling a spade a spade. She had never said anything that was factually incorrect. But she is hated for disrespecting elders.
- And what exactly is respect? Staying in the same room with a man who cheated on you, is hardly grateful for how you helped him in paralysis, is making entitled flirtatious moves on you to have another child even when he has no new source of income, and is giving total Marital Rape vibes (remember the ek haseena thi dance?), and yet you will not leave because you respect elders?? And also Kinjal will not fully support Dimple, when she says one word in support of her, she has to balance it by giving another line of pseudorespect to VanLee. Since it is being shown recently in some other shows too, I am seriously shuddering at the prospect of makers showing MR between KinTosh not because of the track itself, but because how conveniently Toshu will be forgiven again just after some slaps and a few days of being kicked out and Kinjal will never leave Shah House.
- Dimpy is scaring Leela not because she will break the house but because she will open the can of worms of VanLeeTosh have festered and has been kept shut by the RESPECT of Anupamaa and Kinjal.
But its seriously applaudable to see writers who made a rape victim a villain and a bunch of abusers and adulters the victims, just by showing that she is loud mouthed and has no filter. Good that Devika didn't stay close to this circle else she would have been another villain sudharofied by MAA.
