^Ryka - your answer made perfect sense
But, ok, now think back some episodes. Prachi is aware of Sukruti's secret. Sukruti pleads with her to not reveal this to anyone.
Imagine if, disregarding her sis-in-law's pleas, Prachi sells her out to Milind and Baba. Baba would have most definitely disowned Sukruti, without even considering that Alaap is the main culprit. On the other hand, Milind too could have been disgusted with Sukruti for hiding this life-shattering secret - perhaps he would have felt unwanted because she didn't trust him
How do you think Prachi would have felt when Sukruti's family turns against her? This doe-eyed angel would have just killed herself, for it's only because of her did Sukruti lose her family! She would have to deal with a guilty conscience every day of her life, because EVERYONE's happiness matters to her.....of course, she didn't then consider that Ayesha will then sow doubts in Milind's mind - she didn't, in her wildest dreams, consider that this would create frictions in her marital life....and, now, although Milind is her life, Sukruti's well-being will always be more important than her own, because that's who Prachi is
I am still not claiming that P did the right thing; but, putting myself in her place, I can very well understand WHY she is protecting her SIL. If someone had pleaded with me to not reveal a secret to anyone, I can imagine myself shutting up
My point is, if we can accept Milind with all his temper tantrums and flaws, why can't we accept Prachi's over-angelic nature, for better or for worse?
