I don't think that I have much to say because you have said it all. I couldn't dislike her in the first sacrifice that she made - choosing to marry Navin to save her house. The woman has this insane love for her family that she did not mind ruining her whole life for them. I get her emotions but does that mean that I think she was being intelligent? Or strong? Nope. While I would admit that she was courageous enough to take the step but it was courage and not strength. I would have pointed out the strength had she not given in the marriage, and had taken her family's responsibility, found a job and got them a even bigger home. (Now please don't tell me that the house had memories and stuff - memories are made with people. If you have your family together, you can make memories anywhere.)
The worst was the time when she walking in BB after he got married to Komolika. I mean, what? Woman, he MARRIED somebody else irrespective of whatever his reasons were and you are reaching his place, claiming that you are his wife KNOWING that he married Komolika with all those rituals and stuff. It was shameful for me to see that she was fighting for the man who had just ditched her and married someone else. For heaven's sake - it had been not even a month since her father's demise. The woman had her family to look after and what did she do? Went to her boyfriend who had a wife then with proof of some dhaga marriage. Who calls this independence? I could call her independent had she kept her PERSONAL MESSED AND FINISHED LOVE STORY aside and focussed on helping her family cope up with her father's loss and gave her family a better life.
Prerna was always loving, caring, sensitive and empathetic.
But strong and independent? For me, never.
