obviously would like both our jodis together but for once, can understand the motivation of the parents. sometimes, in other dramas, you just roll your eyes because their opposition makes no sense.

what I like about bepannah is that when you take a step back, the parents' perspective is also okay. their characters have been well developed and so we get their motivations. it is easier to see that parents are also just human. we can have very different experiences even on a same journey and parents are also entitled to have their own opinions and they are also bound to make mistakes.

a realistic parent-adult child relationship is bound to have conflicts because the child is an adult and so there is bound to be a push and pull. the parent has to realize the child is an adult and the child has to realize that the parent is also an individual. if the parent and child can get beyond that push-pull, then the relationship gets stronger. if it doesn't, they strain and sometimes break... in that way, bepannah is showing the modern adult parent-child relationships and conflicts well..

like you said, there is probably no way to redeem anjana now with the kidnapping. maybe in the end, she ends up in some mental hospital and they declare that it was all a result of clinical depression and her having a breakdown? -- that could be one way to redeem her if the writers want it that way...
