I suppose you do make your point about Nanaji scenario sg, but this is not just about her husband. The same family members have been at her throat at one point or another - from Baa to Birwa. Baa and Bapuji were not happy with Santu when she hid Moti's truth. I don't know how they are treating her now since I stopped watching the show when her rona dhona started. Thanks a lot for the updates, they help me decide whether to watch the episode or not.
Although Hiten is acting like an adult right now, it took him the longest to accept her. Kaddu has been a brat at numerous occasions, recent one being when the duplicate bhootni came. Birwa was also following Kaddu's footsteps and didn't like her interfering. And do I really need to explain DM, Moti and Maulik's attitude towards her? Suraj is young so can't really talk about him. The only person who really has been supportive towards Santu throughout all this is Champakali. To be honest with you, she's been my favorite character in Bandini from day one.
To summarize, Santu's one step in the wrong direction, and they will be out to get her, forgetting all she has done for each one of them. But then again CVs do what they want, all we can do is voice our opinions.
"You don't know what you have til it's gone"
What the family members did in the past is in the past.....they have been supportive of her in this most recent problem. Baa and Bapuji were angry at her as they should have been, didn't really expect them to welcome her with open arms when they found out how she was party in this whole deception.....like Baa said she was ashamed of both her daughters who ended up deceiving and hurting her son-in-law.....Santu is not completely blameless here however noble her intentions. But the same Baa/Bapuji pled her case in front of DM, so you cannot doubt how much they care for her well-being. Hiten, Kaddu, Birwa have all been supportive of her ever since they accepted her. Sure, Kaddu was rude to her during the duplicate phase but I wonder how anyone would have reacted if they had to take sides between one's own mother and someone you just consider a mother. I think all the family members have treated her well in this present scenario. So this is not the time to leave them to teach them a lesson, because there is nothing to teach when they have all been supportive of her. No point discussing Moti and Maulik because they will just rejoice if Santu leaves.
As for DM, as mentioned earlier, in my opinion, the best way to make him come to his senses is to stay close to him, yet far and make him repent......not to anger him by defying his decision, it will only make him feel righteous.
