Agree Anandi has been the most sensible in l'affaire Mannu-Pooja.
And yet Anandi did not show the same understanding when Neha (?) -- I forget the name of the girl -- was found drinking.
She was very severe with her, refused to understand her special circumstances, as a consequence of which the girl fainted. I don't know where that girl has gone now.
As for Mannu, I just cannot understand how a very sensible, rational and understanding boy can turn into a thieving, cunning, deceitful , brigand-like character.
Does he feel no attachment at all for any of the people he left behind?. If not for his parents whom he views as ogres, at least for his half brother to whom he was a guru plus sibling?
What did Pooja achieve? She has betrayed the two people she most loves and respects (aside from Mannu) -- her mother and Anandi.
Whether she initiated the elopement or not she did wrong by letting down these two women. One raised her, trusted her and the other rescued her from life in a hell hole and gave her a fresh lease of life and an opportunity to be educated. And is still defending her against all logic.
Pooja has also been unconscionable towards poor Nimboli who unknowingly took her place and is is paying an undeserved price for it.
Life gave her everything and she has chosen callously to throw that away -- with not a thought to Anandi or the child who by accident took her place in hell.
Ye Hai Mohabbatein
Mangal Lakshmi
