Kalpana has been disliked by me on two occasions and I mean proper disliked: one where that constable humiliated her but she was ready to forgive on Kamla's insistence and second when that molester molested her but she readily turned a blind eye to it.
Ra...Khi's relationship and Kalpana's behaviourKalpana has been more than supportive to Ra...Khi's relationship than anybody else in this show!! HOW? Well, in the sense that she has given Ra..Khi one year to work on their relationship albeit under the pretense that she will wait for Raghav. She is very well acquainted with what her mother is doing behind her back: ie supporting Pakhi and giving her tips on winning Raghav, and she know her mother will 99.9% succeed. So she is no fool. Her only quest in life is to satisfy her mother, she has never gone against Kamla nor intends to. This has been Kalpana from Day 1! She did not stand her ground when her gifted pen was snatched away from her; she did not stand her ground when her mother willingly gave all her love to Pakhi; she did not stand her ground when her mother opted to pick Pakhi's happiness over hers. Nope she did not, nor will ever because for her, she is willing to be used as a pawn to ensure Kamla feels great. WHY? Well, because that dus saal baad promo expressly told us, I live my life only for you aai, in the hope you become mera aur mera hi! Maybe thats selfish then? It is selfish for a woman to want to be loved by her mother; it is selfish for a woman to want be sacrifice her own happiness, so her own mother can embrace her freely; it is indeed selfish.
Sindoor and Kalpana's take Kalpana has told Raghav where to stick it, yes she said she will wait for him, but she has every intention of living life to the fullest in that one year with her family achieving her parents' dream, knowing deep down her and Raghav are essentially finished. She is not the one going out there finding Raghav, nah! He is the one finding her everytime, and then going home and playing happy family. He is the one in the quest of tarnishing her reputation. If Kalpana truly wanted to be a homewrecker, she would have jumped on Raghav the moment he put that sindoor on her, and say right then, lets go, am willing to sleep on your bed, you keep avenging Pakhi, I wont care, but we have to be together. She can say this dialogue anytime and Raghav will happily take her, but she didn't nor will ever because she does care for Pakhi's feelings, she knows hurting Pakhi will hurt her Aai and thats a risk she is not willing to take. I am sure we are no fools and we all had watched the rain sequence where her feeling awkward for Raghav's behavior was ever so evident, she was aware of Pakhi and she had no intention of hurting her. So do we really think she will accept Raghav after a year? The answer is no! Because she is Kalpana Vithal Jhadav, a woman who understands the importance of relationship despite not being taught it first hadn by her own mother. Pakhi is right she is indeed Kamla's daughter: a woman who has proven to be selfish and manipulative: two characteristics that have always been screaming out of Pakhi!
Why did she hide Raghav? Was it because she wanted to romance him?
Yesterday, she had no interest in Raghav, she was cold towards him! That speaks volume. She hid him because she did not want to be subjected to more physical abuse by her parents, not because she wanted to romance him on the side, in order to affect Ra..Khi's shaadi. She has given them one year to live and fall in love, and tomoz when Rags tells her I dont want you back, she will happily obliged and move away, thats Kalpana Vithal Jhadav for you. Kill her, abuse her, insult her: but at the end her heart is bigger than the ocean: she forgives but she does not forget.
Why did she forgive Raghav?
She forgave Raghav simply because he helped her fill in her insecurities, he made her his world, something she had always wanted but never acquired in her life. And for someone like Kalpana who has had a battered childhood thanks to her mother, to be made to feel that special by him prior to what he did to her, is not something a girl can easily forget. Its human behaviour unfortunately. People
