I'm not sure I can say that what Jhanvi is going through now, regardless of the fact that she has support and that she's opting to fight, isn't abuse. Consistent stalking (even yesterday's)? Framing her for a kidnapping that he'd engineered? The various 'punishments'? LOL...just because there is someone else in the house who knows and attempts to protect her, doesn't magically classify those actions under 'not abuse' and therefore that she's still not being victimized. She's fighting, but she's a long, long way from becoming an out-and-out survivor.
Criticism is fine -- Jhanvi does do things the wrong way, does make terrible mistakes, does commit acts of selfishness. I've said it before, I'll say it again -- she is bound to frustrate viewers, just as real-life victims often frustrate those around them because they're simply that hard to understand and quite often seem to the observer to be wallowing in self-pity. Criticizing her? Not a bad thing because it's an acknowledgement that she's not perfect. But when she's being called names that in no way match her actions in the serial, when she is called manipulative for a situation where she clearly proves that she can't even make and execute her own plans properly, when she's being accused of things she hasn't even done, what else can it be called?
