I just saw the episode where Simran slaps her daughter. I think that was the right thing to do.ššš. I loved Simran's acting!
It's one thing for Aastha to be mad at the world since she found out the reality of the past and her true identity. I don't want to be a judge of her reacting the way she did. I haven't been in that situation, so I will give Aastha the benefit of the doubt and say, that may be she deserves a little sympathy.
But I will not tolerate the fact that she drops all her respect for these people who raised her for 18 years. Not allowing her to ever feel that she was not their very own. For Aastha to call her her aye a maid, was extremely harsh. What did Shauguna do??? This was all to protect her. Everyone has a limit and I think Aastha was crossing hers and as a mother, it's Simran's job to correct Aastha even at this sensitive moment. I have to say that I agree with Simran and how she stood up for what is right.
Just because you're mad at your family about hiding the truth, doesn't change the fact that they still care and love you, and will always do so.
