Doc, do you want my take on that? Anjali was playing the victim game here ... she had no intention to cause herself or her baby any damage at all.
Let me explain my POV - a seriously suicidal person makes sure that he/she will succeed in their attempt. A depressed person who is not yet suicidal makes attempts that are more like calls for help, cries for attention ... and I think Anjali was doing just that.
What was her first reaction when Arnav threw Shyam out? To stop talking to him.
What does Arnav usually do when Di stops talking to him? He promptly reverses whatever decision/action of his that made her take that step ... take expelling Khushi from the house for La, take cancelling the sangeet.
This time he DID NOT do that ... he did not go running to call Shyam back ... he backed his wife.
So what does Anjali do next? She goes to her own doctor, well known to the family, and asks for an abortion, makes it very clear that she is in a disturbed state of mind, and then stays in the clinic till the doc has time to inform someone ... or, as happened, someone comes looking for her. The trail of crumbs she left with the unpaid auto driver also points to that - she wanted to be found. Then she picks up a blunt artery forceps/needle holder ... were there no scalpels/scissors lying on a tray of surgical instruments? Nope, she wants something that will look dangerous but is not ... and she waits for someone to find her ... and go crazy enough to be ready to give in to her every wish ... which is what her Chotey always does.
To ensure that he does that, Arnav is promoted back to being Chotey ... the brother who always fixes her world for her ... can he pretty please do that again? Including getting back her loving husband ... because some 'buri nazar' has hit their happiness ... someone is trying to separate her and her brother ... 'hum dono ko kya ho gaya hai?'
And Arnav being all kinds of a gullible emotional fool when it comes to his precious Di, goes running to Khushi and spills out the exact same words Anjali used ... all because of you, Di has lost her happiness ...
Yes of course, her true happiness lay in being married to a two-timing conniving scoundrel ... Really Bitwa, where DID your brain go for its holiday?!!!
Emotional blackmail at its best ... for all that it might be unconscious as of now ... but it won't take long for it to become conscious and deliberate.
