I agree with you so much Anu. I also felt the same. We cannot put all the blame on Barkha though she is wicked and cruel!! I feel both Laajo and Nikhil have to take some share of the blame for being secretive and hiding facts about their dangerous exercise!!
Barkha is right when she said that Laajo feels she has solutions to all problems and can manage situations single handedly, though she said it out of jealousy and rage. I feel Laajo's overconfidence and Nikhil's defiance and ego made the situation go out of hand ..as far as their family is concerned.
If you have observed carefully, all in the Bharadwaj family stay in isolation like islands in the Indian ocean!!( sorry for the geography!!😛) There is so much communication gap.
Nikhil's trust that Laajo can do everything right for him also made Laajo more vulnerable. Laajo was over enthusiastic all the time and forgot ground realities.
Laajo was a woman who cared for family values and structure , which we saw when she persuaded Nikhil to stay in his house while she achieves her goal. But then it seems she forgot about it during the CBI case!! Well there is another angle as well that the CBI has asked them to keep it a secret. But they could have atleast told Inder about it. Anyways,the moral of the story is , in the end something which shouldn't have happened , happened ...and as always ..the blame game begins from this point!!🤢 ( If Nikhil would have safely come home we wouldn't have been discussing these things!!😛) However the more significant thing for Bharadwaj family is how to get out of this tragedy collectively then pointing fingers!! Lets see...if they really do it.
