How is Barkha and Malti Devi not bad influences for CA? They play politics in the house. Barkha being the bhabhi is trying to create differences between Anupama and Malti Devi. Is that how a bhabhi should behave? That too after all the favours Anupama and Anuj have done for her family? How about telling a small kid that her parents will send her back to the orphanage? And Malti Devi trying to creat differences between a mother and a child is good? Malti Devi supporting the tantrums towards her parents and abuse of a little child towards her friend is a good thing?
See, Anupama is a doormat but that doesn't mean Barkha and Malti Devi are good. They are equally if not worse than Anupama.They are so vile and selfish.
Up until now they haven't been playing with the child. Yes, they run their kitchen politics and that is limited to and among adults.
There is a history to it and Anuj-Anupama have been grossly unfair to supposed Maa samaan Bhabhi and Bhai in their treatment.
Barkha or for that matter none needs to create any differences with Anupama, she will do it herself wherever she perceives a threat to her authority.
The child also said that she heard them talk among themselves unlike Pakhi who directly said things to her. Yes, one has to be careful of what one is speaking especially with kids in the house, but the same applies to Anuj-Anupama who talk random stuff leaving Choti Anu to assume things.
There have been numerous instances shown where Malati Devi tried talking sense to Anupama about setting her priorities right.
She pointed out where she found Choti Anu falling short in her studies etc.
She conducted dance classes at home where Choti Anu's friends also joined, whatever happened to that post Shahs entry into Kapadia Mansion
?
Imagine a woman who was shown to put in these efforts turns vile, seems irrational.
Today's sequence was the time they showed her of her siding with a bully and directly instigating Choti Anu into taking the wrong step.
This bound to happen isn't it?
Every character is divided into 3 categories:
a.Anupama's cheerleader
b. Shahs and
c. Vamps/villains.
Any character that is introduced as sensible, practical is given 2 options:
a. Anupama's cheerleader or
b. Vamp/Villain if the character becomes more popular or gains more sympathy.
So, while Maaya's past and rise from the struggles made her gain more sympathy, Malati Devi, despite being a person who abandoned her child, raised pertinent issues and gained a soft(er) corner especially when the comparison was Leela.
