Well, NOW, yes. But earlier, Shruti cared most about her mom and dad. I remember during the time of Aryan, when she found out he was evil, she did everything she could to support her mom. And when Om was against Paro, shruti stood by her.
You know, I think the problem is this. No matter how much Prerna says that she is Mukti's mom, at the end of the day, Mukti is indebted to her. She calls her Choti Ma...why? She doesn't have a "badi maa" as well, so that she has to distinguish between the two. I mean, Krishna in KGGK had Pallavi/Trishna, so he called Paro Badi Ma, because she was ALSO his mother. But Mukti has only known one mother, and for that reason, she should have called her Ma. I know Ekta did that whole flashback scene to show why she called her Choti Ma, but that was just an excuse. The point was, Mukti is and always will be indebted to Prerna and Rishabh for caring for her. Remember during the rape track, when Rishabh told Mukti to butt out? (When he slapped Prerna). He said that they had given her "sahara"...now tell me, if it were Sneha in her place, would he have said that? He would have been mad at her, but he wouldn't have said "sahara" - support. No one gives their child "support" - they give them rights and haq.
Shruti has that haq, so she behaves like a true child. She has the liberty of getting mad at her mom, of misbehaving with her, because that's what children DO.
Mukti has to think about the consequences of her actions on those who helped her, but Shruti thinks of it as her right.
that's the diff between the two. And you know, that's the reason, that no matter how stupid Shruti can get, I love her more....because she is a true child - like Sneha she will get mad at her parents but also support them when they need it - but Mukti is so mahaan because of this hangover that she is, ultimately, a "driver ki beti"...I love Mukti for different reasons, but if you asked me to choose, I'd say Shruti. At least she is real, in the sense that she is good but can be idiotic, like real people...
