Firstly sorry for replying so late! But this might be a long post...
And secondly, absolutely love your post Rima! And I have only one answer to this...Anjali (Gosh it's so hard to actually take her name now without insulting) is a humongous hypocrite!
All she cares about is her being the center of attention, about people being pre-occupied with only thoughts about her and being concerned for her whether they go fall in a pit while doing so or not, she absolutely doesn't care! It's only 'I, me and myself' in her case. Anyone would get tired of living with such a person and I really don't know how the RM people bear her and actually give in to everything she wants. She is a typical pampered brat!
She doesn't have any self-respect in my opinon...I agree that women need to be respected in all societies and I have always supported that but how can one respect someone who doesn't respect her own self?? If she really had self-respect she would have walked out the first thing when she saw her husband being kicked out...Wait! She would have gone out with her husband as soon as she got married whether her husband and borther liked it or not. If she was self-righteous that is! She and Dadi who actually speak so high of being religious, ritualistic and pious but none of them have a problem with Shyam living as a 'ghar jamaii'! May I ask why?? Oh well, I know I won't get an answer from them and don't even expect one!
She used the lame excuse of Chotey not letting her work and not letting her go to another house to stay in the same house with all the luxuries. I feel she mostly considers her chotey to be a money-making machine. And she is too touchy for my liking! In my opinion, no brother and sister act so touchy as these two do..
It's more like I am happy so I'll care about others happiness through which even I get benefits! If I'm sad then everyone should behave like the world's going to get over in the next 5 minutes!
I feel (and it may just be me) that she would have behaved possessive and wrong after sometimes of Arshi's marriage even though Shyam would be by her side and everything would be okay in her mind. Remember the time when Arnav fainted in the house and she didn't let Khushi handle him at all though Khushi was the one who came up with the solution to the problem?? Many might disagree with me but for once she ould have stepped aside and let Khushi take charge. After all Arnav was marrie and Khushi was the one who might have to tackle her situations later on and all by herself. You never know what might happen tomorrow..
And she herself accepted the fact that Arnav was used to coming late and eating alone..If she really cared soo much about him she would have sat till he came and checked if he ate anything or not.. It was more like Arnav's happiness and likes and dislikes were taken for granted till Khushi came into his life though Khushi was the one who had to face a lot of problems and the brunt of everything despite being the one shining light in his life..
Anjali lives in a bubble and she wants everything to go the way she thinks of life as. She doesn't have the strength to face life as it comes and everyone i partly responsible for this. But she can choose to come out of it whenever she wishes but no why would she?? This is the best possible life she could get...I've seen women who have faced situations of their husbands' cheating on them with so much strength and handled it so well but I can't even imagine that happening in Anjali's case now...
She doesn't think twice before blaming the other person even if he is her own brother who she claims to know best and to see through his lies...She calls him a liar and what else does she do?? Even lies in the name of God..If she really wanted everyone to accept Shyam so badly she would have first checked what the situation was..checked out all the sides of the story and then made a decision if she thought he was still right..She would have told all the family members in their face of what she thought instead of whining and acting like someone with some terminal disease. She is very manipulative and knows that she can use herself for getting what she wants since she is the weakness of many others.
And I don't know how I'm going to bear more of her love story which is plain pathetic and puke-worthy for me...
I can add soo much more but right now I'm tired of typing so yeah...😳
And this is the most polite way in which I can state things...Will come back if I remember more points that I must have left out right now.. 😊
