Actually, not sure whether it was that Vaishali either. She at least always adored Dev and her life revolved around him. So, to mourn for him so little is not like Vaishali. Rejecting Chikna is more Vaishali, but not to show any emotions at his death is Chunnu Munnu.
Everything has become a caricature. Last year, it was shown that Dev needs a proper Mrs. RP to conduct all the duties, otherwise chachoo was going to ask him to step down. Hence, Chachoo/Arjun//Mrin's plan to entice Vishaka to run away from PB. That was the reason due to which Vaishali immediately agreed for Dev's marriage to Radhika as her concern was that who would marry Dev while Dev was still married to Vishaka. Also, this year even Dadi was able to take away Dev's RP duties once he brought Vishaka to his home. Suddenly, it is impossible for a RP to resign and pass the power.
Shantanu was appointed by Mahant a week ago because the position can not be left open. Also, Dev was dead according to Mahant and police declared him dead too after one night search in a dense jungle. Now, Mahant is going by law and police is also not declaring him dead for 5 years. I wonder if police would show up at the last minute tomorrow to state that they have evidence of Dev being alive.
RP book that was never used. So, wonder if others would moan and groan and Radhika would read it cover to cover during the night (similar to Shastriji last year) and at the exact moment shout "Stop". She will probably find a loophole about this too. Maybe, they are bringing in pregnancy that provides that loophole or Dev is coming back tomorrow.
Why is Mahant not giving them time for Shantanu's funeral? It is a common courtesy to do so. How is Muth getting the wealth. I thought they were incharge of several muths around the country (per property papers given to Radhika at the time of second wedding) and that was just Dev's share.
If they are so dependent on this PF trust, wouldn't one think of saving some money in their bank account and buying some independent property that doesn't belong to Muth so that they can at least have a home. This new rule is making a mockery of the entire story. Amma was supposedly so mad with jealousy because Radhika was getting all the money and luxury that she burnt her. Now, it is nothing.
Finally, the anger of Radhika towards Shantanu. Justifiably, but how is Shantanu different from Amma. He is in fact better as he didn't plan as gruesome a death for Dev as Amma did for Radhika. Even though eventually, Radhika was saved she still suffered immensely from the burns. So, the moral of the story from the burning track onwards.
1. If you are adopted, feel so grateful that you can do any adharam (forcing your husband to stay with your unmarried sister and constantly giving him lectures about being a better husband while your sister runs around with other guys and do whatever). If a family member tries to kill you, cover for them and pray for them if there is divine justice.
2. If your kids are deemed unlucky, discard them at the earliest. Don't accept them back if they return as the superstition would come out to be true. If they do come back and you accept them in a moment of weakness, show no emotion if they die and actually refuse to perform their last rituals too. But, forget all the liars and evil people who harmed your kids (Amma is the perfect example).
