Ideally Anupamaa should have exposed Aryan the moment she came to know about him. He used deceit and hid such an important aspect of his life. Drugs can be life threatening. A promise of a drug addict who is not undergoing any medication means nothing. I felt the same during Naira's time too. When you have a phemily & Samdhis that can make you a scapegoat every single time, at least the so called empowered woman after so many years should at least be intelligent enough to throw away the weight of the responsibility, the moment she comes to know about it, for sure shot it is going to land her up in trouble. Ek toh yeh log har baar naya safar ka drama karte hain phir naye safar mein Anupamaa is even more daridra than before, so what's the point of naya safar ? Empowerwent, confidence toh insaan ke decisions mein dikhna chaiye. Forget empowerment, even grain of intellect is not there. If Aryan was taking drugs and was hiding facts, Anupamaa should be in a position to ask questions and blame because being a bride's mother she was kept in dark while a non sanskari son in law was thopofied on her. If Mahi knew about it Mahi should be answerable too. But thanks to Anupamaa's inability to put her foot down even once and being drunk on pride about herself that she can manage every situation, that tables turn so badly against her every single time.. But then again nothing is surprising for a show has turned from bad to worse to worst to pukeworthy...
Pari looks quite empowered these days though after becoming Kothari Bahu.. She gave her kandha to grieving Raja who was about to commit suicide because Ishu trapped and dumped him.
And then Pari married him... Now Ishu and Pari fight like wild cats. Pari declared that she would not enter Shah House if her husband is not welcomed. This girl at least so far knows that being in Raja and Meeta's good books is better than being a Shah loyalist. If only Maa knew it.
