Some very valid points being raised about Anjali's side of the bond, I would say, we are yet to witness many things from her side and to top it all up we need to be shown their past, a vital aspect for the relation, for the storyline and also for ASR. The guy has been portrayed to be mentally stronger than his sister, but what kept him going and living was that very sister.
Now, lets check out what we have seen from Anjali's side.
She has been portrayed as a soulmate to ASR, the one in front of whom he can let go of himself and still go back becoming that 15 yr old kid.
The same has been shown from her side also, 'humare liye sabse barkar, humare khud ki zindagi se bhi barkar chote tum ho', the words speaks a lot. Similarly, 'ek pal k liye hume laga ki hum hamare chote ko, humare parivaar ko aur humare pati ko phir nahi dekh payenge' speaks something about her priority list (we have to rely on the dialogue writer here coz none of us r writing the dialogues).
As far as the emotional support to ASR is concerned well 'aap meri jaan le lena par maa ki tarah mujhe chodke mat jana', one can see what it means. Her very existence is the reason of his existence. One rejection symptom from her side caused havoc to his soul ( Shyam's kicking out episode). Different people have different ways of projecting emotion, every body doesn't have to be give a monologue before doing anything for somebody else or for some greater good, emotions can be subtle also.
Why her selfsacrificing is not pronounced in the way ASR's had been. Well, just like the way Payal's side of compromises or sacrifices that had been made to adjust with an adopted kid in her house was never projected. One can surely call it the story tellers take.
Now coming to the point of getting selfish about her brother's love. Well there comes the perspective, for some it may appear to be selfish, for other's in may appear to be insecurity.
For me it is the second one given the present circumstances. Her dear husband was kicked out of the house and she doesn't have an inkling to the whole story except for the fact that somebody claims him to be a creep and somebody else chose to believe her in the name of love. So till she doesn't come to know about the truth she has the right to believe Shyam in the name of love, just like the way ASR believed his wife without any proof or what so ever.
The next day she tries to practically kill herself in the name of abortion, before I start calling the lady a witch or banshee I have to look into the circumstances which lead her to such a decision when we have seen her happiness and craving for that very kid !
Her brother saved her and her kid, she found the solace that he is still there for her, but the very next day she watches him celebrating with his wife, the very wife who unwittingly or otherwise had been the reason of her now tormented phase of life. The first thing that should come in her mind is that the other most important person of her life is drifting away from her at a time when she needs him the most. The other incidents which followed were just follow ups of this incident and resulted in a cumulative effect.
I won't say that the celebrations were wrong, coz they were not. However, I could surely say that the circumstances and thus the venue was wrong !! And so her reaction does appear to be humane!!
But all said and done I definitely agree that at the end of the day it is everybody's decision about how they feel about a certain fictional character or how far one can relate to them!😊
