i think what annoys people about her is she only ever sees what SHE wants to see. her interpretation of a situation is only that which suits her own ideas and gains. - Yep Agree
no-one can deny that she loves her sisters very very much but sometimes it seems her love is also... conditional? - I do not see her love being conditional , coz she never stopped from thinking about rano, even though rano has apparently blasted her off on her behavior several times. Her sisters affections are her strength, I believe. she never held any ill feeling even though Bani and Rano on a couple of occasions have point blank told her that her perceptions were wrong.
after pia had her abortion etc she told bani that she was with her every step of the way and would help her to "free herself" from this marriage. yet now that both of them are back in walia mansion all she ever seems to do is follow Jai around like a lovesick puppy - she is rarely with her sister! In fact when bani was throwing up Jai was the one who found her and Rano and told them to help her. - I see it this way, When Pia came over to the walia mansion after her tiff with Pushky puppy, the situation was that Bani had moved out and the reason was not apparent. She at that point in time was looking it from her sister's side(not that she can see and perceive things any better, it is her weakness) and could only conclude that her sister is very unhappy and that her sister is getting freedom. She actually like anyother doting sister, wants to standby with her sister , coz she believes her sister is right. She blindly believes that Bani di is correct and cannot be wrong.
As for her following Jai, I see it this way that in the Walia mansion , after her return, only Jai is the man who knew the story and has not misjudged her. She on seeing this , only realized that how wrong she was and like a little kid who looks up to someone who is nice to them is struck by this man's magnanimity.
rano is married, her husband and family are in walia mansion so her actions and responsibilities are somewhat more than pia's. but what was pia doing at the time? she doesn't seem to ever be there for her sister! -
She has told her sister that she is with her and that according to her is being with her sister and you bet it is. She is not proactive . Had her sister confided in her , she would have acted definetely. She is not even aware of the fact that Bani and Jai like eachother, unlike Rano who has been a witness to all that.
why is it that bani feels she can confide in Pushkar and NOT Pia - ok this is a creative decision on part of the writers but it also fits Pia's character - Bani is hardly going to believe she is reliable and trustworthy after everything she has done! - Yep, agree with this one completely.
and i really think she is a hyprocrite too:
I for one , believe that hypocrisy is about being something , and appearing and saying something else. I dont see Pia as being a hypocrite, infact I see her as being the most candid characters around. She says what she feels , no mincing words and that is something.
1) she almost accuses jai of raping her sister and then calls him the best and most caring husband and father ever - She says this because she is not aware that her sister loves her husband.
2) when she first came to walia house after the kissology scene there is a scene in jai and bani's room where she says soemthing about them being happy in their marriage... or loving each other - i can't quite remember sorry - and now she sees this as a forced relationship in which both jai and bani are miserable - No , at point in time does she say that she thinks they love eachother. She thinks that they are concerned about each other but are stuck in a marriage that has no love
3) she says to roshni at one point that jai and bani's marriage has nothing to fear from her - to say that she must believe that there is a REAL MARRIAGE between them - yet now she has decided that they shouldn't even be together at all! - I would like to think, that she did not want Roshni to interfere with her Bani di's life and she jus retorted back to Roshni's nastiness and hurt her where it hurts her the most , Roshni's ex flame.
As for her deciding that they shudnt be together, the poor babe dosent know that her bani di and her ex love are truly madly deeply in love. If only she knew... hmmmmmmm
4) when pushkar gets his new car she says she truly does want the best for him and she hopes he succeeds - didn't she believe this when constantly calling him a loser - or is it that she will support him as long as she is detached from the situation, as long as his failures don't affect her?
I see it as her regret at being so nasty to Pushkar , when he is so capable. Although she does think of going back, she is jus trying to soothe things between them.Their relation was always on rocks, what with their heated arguments and it is only natural, one picksthe nastiest things to say to get the other to shut up.
Wait a minute, this post started off agreeing with you sareeta - reading back, it doesn't really doesn't does it? 😕 😆
