I have noticed a carelessness in Prerna today that was new from last week (out of character). She showed understanding last week and Bajaj gave her miles of leeway. She shows complete disregard for him this week and Bajaj is still giving her miles cause he’s falling for her.
She doesn’t quite see that he’s vulnerable to her even when he comes out and says that it hurts that she doesn’t believe him. She accused him at home and then chased him down in jail and accused him of drama (!) when he is just self-flagellating. Girl, he's not the drama queen, you are. She’s just banging on about how wrong he is, a 180 based on what Anurag said. Why? So she can feel really bad when she finds out Anurag planned the whole accident to test the extent of her love for him. Anu planned to egg on Bajaj to get that threat, made eye contact with the motorcyclist, and was like a "crybaby" strategically on the phone with Prerna telling her Bajaj’s car is coming when it all happened. Anupam clearly helped him in this plan. This will end badly for Anurag and in a lot of guilt for Prerna. Which will then push her in Bajaj's direction because she will see Anurag as manipulative. Anurag is right to feel hurt and rejected, but a man who cannot take a woman's no as a no is just gross to me personally. His sister was right, he needs to respect Prerna's choice and both women told him Prerna is not a toy. Bajaj was initially guilty of pawning Prerna too, but he has moved from that and let her be whereas Anurag is still trying to push her along the chessboard with this manipulative accident.
Also, I think she is a natural at dominating Bajaj from Day 1 cause he started on a bad note with her. Bajaj is taken with her precisely because she’s not falling on his lap like most women - he is used to rejection in life and that is the only thing he thinks is real. He’s one who has been burned by many rejections, namely his father’s, so he responds more to rejection. Someone starved of love/care gets very agitated when someone who rejects him suddenly shows care, hence Prerna plays him like a fiddle when she goes back and forth between the two emotions. Still, he just let's her do her thing.
She doesn’t give two figs about Bajaj right now and her act in the jail which at first got Bajaj’s hopes up really cut him deep when he saw she put it on for Anu. She doesn't see that while she started as the pawn, she had very much made Bajaj the pawn in how she controls her equation with Anurag. Using him to make Anurag jealous because she thinks Bajaj doesn’t care as long as Kukki is taken care of has serious repercussions for Bajaj. When he told her it changed and it does matter what she thinks, she didn’t listen, he made himself vulnerable over and over and requested that she get to know him, but she didn't hear any of it. All this makes me conclude that Prerna really is so far from thinking that Bajaj can actually fall for her that she doesn’t consider her impact on him at all.
She underestimates her importance everywhere and becomes the victim everywhere with her constant self-critique - the typical K-ekta nari. Bajaj was right about that part. In real life, I don't like women with such low esteem, but I am enjoying the push and pull of the Prerish equation because it seems like whichever direction it goes, they travel it parallel to each other. Bajaj is very much rooted in caretaker mode to her because he sees that as his duty as a husband and lover. He's her anchor, but she wants feel-good love of dancing around trees which Anurag gives her. She varies between attack and understanding modes for Bajaj. So what happens when one point is rooted while the other connected point runs between extremes? Always a perfect circle :) This is the same reason why why two fluctuating emotional people don’t work well together - they don't make a circle, they make a crinkle ;)
