Prerna's problems stem from the fact that she thinks Anurag is incapable of taking care of himself & she has to sacrifice herself for him. That's the fundamental mindset, all her problem begin from. She has assumed too much on everyone's part. In her mind, she literally thinks that everyone would become paralyzed without her sacrifice or her telling truth. She denied the truth to her parents & Anurag because she knew they would have stopped her from doing it which was right on their part. She doesn't spare any thoughts to her parents at all. Anurag's stupidity during Komo track is being returned by her own. She herself refused to let go of Anurag during Komo track but she somehow thinks Anurag will do that just because she continues to assert that I am Mrs. Bajaj in front of him. Anurag was heavily criticised then, Prerna is to face the same now.
She literally thinks Anurag sacrificing for her was a right act that needed to be returned with her own sacrifice, no matter how stupid both acts were.
Wasn't it Prerna in season 1 who didn't now down to anyone when Anurag betrayed her while she was pregnant? She fought the world, she worked hard, got the job for herself but didn't let Anurag's betrayal hinder her at all. What exactly is the problem if she does that again here?
Ugly world out there is no excuse to how poor her characterization has been shown in this version.
