I'm not sure I really like this Sharma Family Separation Track.
It's not really a separation. Inshi are right there watching the goings-on. Every time a Sunanina or a Mandira are slighted, they turn their eyes towards an Indira who seems indifferent.
Personally, I dislike the way this is being portrayed because Indira is only pretending to be distant. She actually is not. The umbilical cord has not yet been severed.
To clarify, its not as though I am asking her to disown her family, but at least she should not do it in halves. At some point, its going to come through that she isn't convinced about this decision.
Its a major step and she has done well to distance herself. This was long overdue. But still, she is only thinking about her useless family instead of focusing on ways to utilize the distance in finding some peace of mind, settling into her married life, and shaping a meaningful husband-wife bond. I hope they show some movement in that direction. Its good that Rishi is a nice and patient guy (in a way that only telly hubbies can be) who thinks of her happiness as his own. He can do better in some ways but he is not the focus of this post.
When they were inside Sharma Nivas, Indira was preoccupied with her family's presence and problems. Now that they are out, they have found a way to be within earshot of her family's presence and problems! So what was achieved? And what's the point that she's trying to make? That she is capable of tough love? If so, then live out the tough love, lady! Be tough on yourself too.
I guess I dislike it more because her motivation is to make the members of her family realise the importance of Indira Sharma, but not their individual responsibilities towards the same family. This separation, then, is not to make them grow up. I hope I am proved wrong. But I deffo would not be surprised if they want her back only because she allows them to be their parasitic selves--an aspect that Dulari Bua is handling in an excellent manner.
But if Indira is constantly going to be on the periphery, and making her presence obvious, then there is no reason for her family to not take her for granted. Regardless of what she says or does to prove otherwise. For instance, merely saying that Mandira has Munna to protect her has no meaning if Indira is going to go and beat up the goon instead of Munna.

I hope I made some sense. Please feel free to agree/disagree. To clarify, this is not a bashing post. I tried to look at things from Indira's point of view and found that her intention is correct, but her handling of this situation is not. She really needs to find her life apart from her family, which she is not succeeding at. Simply because she is not giving it a decent shot.
