I totally missed this thread and am glad i found it now.
Ganga does not need any defence here in the first place. Not because she is right or wrong but because no one in this forum is accusing her, blaming her or asking her to get out of haveli. We just pointed out that even after listening to sumi's worries she is not shown to be given any thought to it let alone planning to leave the place. In turn Sumi who also has valid points is being the one accused completely.I had high expectations on Ganga at first. She was fierce , smart, humble though helpless. now it's like she is only humble , understanding,a cry baby and is still helpless with all the fierceness gone to ashes. This is just a disapproval message given by her supporters and not plain criticism. So this defence thread is totally uncalled for.
This Ganga story is not similar to Shyam-Sugna's story in any case let alone being same and comparing the past sumi to present sumi. That was a love story..and love stories don't have any rules in them!
Ganga is a stranger here. And Sumi pitied her and let her stay in her house on hearing her story. It is not like she had been rude to her from the beginning. And in Sumi's eyes not just Ganga , no girl can ever be equal to her angel Anandi for whom she even left her Son. Here as Suchi said, as every one kept comparing G to A, it put Sumi off which is natural ...it just put her off...she never made a fuss about it at first. Only after she felt that Ganga was/ is and will continue to be a threat(RAT challenged that he will come back to take revenge) to her son, Sumi started getting flared up! That is not insecurity...that is the fear of losing her Son. Why the hell would Sumi feel insecure about a stranger who is almost like their maid! No mother would entertain this idea when her son's life is at stake with no fault of his. Mothers can be excused for being that much selfish(or having that much concern) for their children. If she has some soft corner for the guest/stranger/victim who seeked her refuge then the mother would think of arranging some safe place for the stranger rather than letting her stay at her home and take the risk. Only Haveli won't be a safe place for G. It's not like this is some Bruce Wayne's pent house where no one can reach her there😆.
Coming to this topic about Sumi getting irritated at Ganga for mannu-oil thing. I wonder who kept that oil bowl near a toddler in the first place! And how could his mother be so irresponsible when an old woman and a pregnant woman are present in that house. What's the point in getting angry at mannu whether it is sumi or ganga? The fault lies on that person who kept that bowl beside mannu. Seriously Gehna has gone through a lot to get pregnant...and imagine what would have happened if she slipped and fell down! My maid's baby threw my home theatre remote in a bucket of water and it didn't work after thatðŸ˜! I had to only blame myself for keeping it in her reach...and then my maid for bringing her baby here in the first place! I don't see any point in chiding the toddlers who can't even understand it. Anyways did Sumi scream at Mannu? or at Ganga? Cause it would be stupid if she screamed at mannu!
