Nandini while she was in Jhalra considered herself as an orphan and still doesn desptie assurances by the self proclaimed mother assuring her that she is all the child needs.If they want to end Anandi's character it will end after mother daughter reunion and the mother daughter duo have formed a bond.How does growing up in BH or with Shekhar family makes them less orphaned?They may have lot of uncles aunts grandparents but are they all equivalent to parents?
Exactly, any child without parents is orphan only.
Despite having kakusa Shivam feels the absence of his father. That itself shows no one can replace a mother or father.
Nimboli was treated as orphan only in Jhalra. No one cared for her because they knew she doesn't have anyone of her own who will question if they ill treat Nimboli.
If after loosing their father the kids loose their mother as well, they will be orphans only. The emotional security and sense of belonging which a mother can give, cannot be given by anyone else.
