I can understand for wat u said. It's hard to empathize Anjali if we are in our characters. I wanted to say try to empathize the person in the scenario being like her. She is protected, vulnerable and always guarded. For Shyam she is blind, why???? that is a mystery in the show yet. But shyam as shown pretends her as most caring and loving huaband. She just don't think byond shyam even if it means doing somethg which her bro will never allow. Sometimes u just want to be with a person no matter what. I think that's her case.
N if u can recall the scene there were no proofs against shyam, only words were there. She prefer to trust her hudband in lack of any proof.
Regarding life as hell thg , dat's wat she thinks. If u remember she said "koi nahi hoga, kuch theek nahi hoga, iska chale jana hi accha hai" smthg like this.
uh...how to empathize with her...was she not the one who tried to kill her own baby with her own hands? was that not putting her baby in danger herself?and for what reason because she thought no one respects the baby's father..she was not thinking about the baby then..she was thinking about her ownself and her heartless husband.And please Anjali is the most spoilt person in RM...Arnav would have been a father for her baby.She did not try to kill the baby because she thought a fartherless child in the world has a life of hell..she has everyone's support..she has money, a loving family that would have made the baby never feel neglected..I myself am growing up without any contact or support from my father and the world is not hell to me! There are women in way worse conditions without husband, without money, without home, without family living in poverty with barely anything but they also don't try to kill their unborn children even though they know how much hardships the baby would face. No one has a right to decide who should live or not..except for god!
Who asked her to walk up the stairs alone.? why did she not take dadi with her? Why did she not call dadi when she first stepped on one glass shard? why did she put the next feet on that? Why could she not push away the mat with her foot? Why did she parade around the room without caring that she could fall in that state and harm her baby????did she think about the baby once?NO!
The baby did not deserve to die, Im sorry Anjali had to go through that...but it was her own blindness, stubbornness and inability to make any rational decision and inability to think that lead to this.
Just my view...no matter how much I try I cannot empathezie with her...karma is a bitch!
