It is a skewed narrative for sure. Sad she is not being set free though or MaAn can’t just leave and cut strings. I like your perspective - enjoyed reading it. 😊

That’s what I said NARRATIVE. It’s their story, so the story will be told from their narrative only (however skewed it is). And Baa/V can’t be whitewashed fully ever, everyone keeps remembering what they did. Characters call them out, if not that Baa herself is made to acknowledge like today and V like last time, flashbacks are clear indication of what they did too.. so I don’t think the show ever intends to ww/redeem them fully cuz then they can’t have them as a conflict in Anu’s life. Yes they are given some sort of realization every once in a while.. for example this time around none of the shahs (esp Baa/V) are a roadblock to her US journey. In a way this absolved shahs of what they did back then (read narrative makers wanna built) cuz they need Shahs in good terms with Anu right now for drama/conflict later on.
Coming to Anuj/CA - again it’s situational, yes. But the narrative again is her udaan is stopped unfortunately because of situation Anuj put himself in (which could have been solved by admitting M to hospital back then) and that indirectly affected Anu in not being able to fulfill her dreams. Of course they will never show Anuj directly responsible. Even here, he’ll tell her to go. But she will not leave him/CA at this state and go. So at the end, it will be her decision to stop for her family (read Anuj/CA).. mainly CA. People kept complaining Anu doesn't love CA as much as her bio kids so makers will just prove those notions wrong. She might have faltered before irt CA but she sacrificed her biggest dream for CA. She doesn’t differentiate between her kids and she loves CA equally as others.. She’s a maa so she’ll sacrifice for CA’s well being. That is the narrative. Now you can take it however you want but that is what the narrative is (if M is actually dying)
P.S. - Yes hopefully Baa/Vanraj do get their karma eventually but shahs are primary family and they create conflict so they will never be fully redeemed or get their karma cuz they need to stay relevant.
