My favorite character on the show is Paakhi😃. I can sometimes relate to how she feels since for years my mom wasn't that affectionate w/me. If I cried she wouldn't be the one consoling me a lot of time. Instead, my grandma would be the one doing this quite a bit of the time. Plus, I was born while my mom was attending college & she didn't have much time to take care of me so there were times when she would leave me w/my grandma. So my grandma was kinda like how Kamla is to Paakhi. My grandma's house is more simple looking & a lot more smaller than my house but I still really like going to her house & I will admit there have times like Paakhi where I feel at least a bit suffocated in my house 😆.
Also, there was a time when I don't feel like I fully understood what being in love really meant. It happened like 3 years ago. I was saying that I am in love w/a guy when I don't think I was ever actually in love w/him really at all. In fact the way I was talking when it came to him is not too off of how Paakhi talks about Raghav on the show but her romantic, non-love feeling for Raghav is more stronger than what I had for this guy. Like I said, I know how Paakhi feels sometimes when it comes to some things 😆 & if I see my dear Paakhi baby turn into a vampy girl, I might reconsider watching this show & I might end up quitting on it. Seeing her become like this would be painful for me to watchðŸ˜.
I can't really relate to Kalpi when it comes to any part of my life much because I was pretty much never like how she is on the show. I am a mix of of practical & impractical by the way. Plus, like Paakhi I don't have too good of a relationship w/my mom but it's not as bad as Paakhi & Neetu's relationship but I am more close w/my grandma. I share more of my life with her than my mom.
Anyways, I like both Kalpi & Paakhi but I can relate to Paakhi more, especially when I look at my past.
In regards to your topic post, well I see some Kamala ma in both Kalpi & Paakhi. I wouldn't really consider just one of the girls to be her shadow.
Paakhi is not a true Kapoor like her parents & bro since I can't see her doing the things that they come up with- she is not bad like that but it's not like she doesn't have any of there qualities at all. She can be on the selfish side at times for example. I think she is a mix when it comes to what pleases her in terms of dating. She will like a simple picnic date or a more expensive date at restaurant. She doesn't seem that hard for a guy to please. She is not like her mom in this sense since Neetu comes off as someone that just seems to have high taste when it comes to pretty much anything.
