Okay let me make this as short as possible, Ragini is a woman who expects respectable behavior from everyone because she herself attempts to uphold them with much dedication and sincerity as possible.
You said with the exceptions including Aarav, Nishi, aagham hence I will not discuss them and I believe you understand why a single hard working mother would want respect from her children.
she said anyone would come and tell her anything to her face because they believed she was strong. I believed that she is completely right. In all honesty everyone ESPECIALLY Neil would say provoking things because they all wanted a reaction out of her. Ragini was known for her lack of expressing emotions and they wanted to strike a chord within her, seeing a realistic evidence that Ragini too was somehow influenced by them. I still remember how Neil told Ragini that she was alone because of her own faults, they all say these things to her and then tell her to digest it and move on. I for one believe Ragini was nowhere at fault with Aarav's incident. I seriously think everyone including Neil Pam, children all blame her, accuse her because they know she can handle it, they blame her for being strong, insensitive, because of their own weaknesses or unaquired wishes. They bloody don't see their own faults and point out hers. Give me a break! Today's episode showed a mother who was concerned for her children, and I for one saw genuine redemption, understanding.
As for her breaking down, not to offend you but I don't understand what was wrong with that. A person who had put this facade for so long wanted release, did not wanted to be strong anymore, was tired, and finally broke. You want her to ask herself why Neil was saying that, well some of the things Neil said weren't accurate rather unjustly hurtful because of his jealousy towards her relationship with dr. Aman but of course only Ragini is considered at fault. Neil isn't exactly clean himself but it seems only Ragini's mistakes are mentioned. I know you may find it easier to relate to Neil or whatever the cause maybe I can give a numerous reasons as to why Ragini deserves respect from everyone and even the audience. Her character is a strong mother, independent, and justly. She works hard, she understand her faults, she understands redemption, she apologizes, realizes her mistakes (something we don't even see from Neil), just because she didn't express her emotions of love the way Neil does is not a reason to justify that she deserves no respect. Forget that, current day the audience damn well emotions weren't her field but now that she is expressing that still is a problem? Today I loved when she said I was human. I never met an ideal individual but today I saw a character despite being flawed had idealistic beliefs that she tried to carried out.
As for dr. Aman, I love Neira so I do not understand why Neil should should simply let her be. Rather I suggest while Ragini is busy fixing her mistakes, why doesn't he try and fix his as well. Ragini is not at fault and I for one stand by her character. Neil is jealous and hurt but that doesn't justify his actions. To me Ragini has been behaving as a reasonable adult, she's been trying to handle all sides, Neil's unrelenting accusations, their close proximity, her own emotions, her daughters marriage, dr. Aman, Aarav, her children. Whatever her reason maybe for Aman, their qualities of her as a woman and a mother which require if not good but respectable behavior from everyone.
I apologize if I have offended you in any way but I do wish for you to see a completely different side of the perspective. I see redemption of her character and I am glad for today's episode and I feel that I can connect to her even more so after today.
