Well, good points made by all of you. Milind's one statement said it all. He said one can forgive a mistake not a sin. Let us grant her the benefit of doubt and accept that she had a rotten childhood and still had amazingly turned our well considering she was independent, but circumstances forced her into a revenge path.
But as pointed earlier, does she not deserve to tell Milind that she was marrying Neev? The fact that her revenge was larger than her love just showed what place she had accorded to Milsi in her life. I dont think she realised what she was losing until she actually lost it all in that vendetta of hers. I think in the back of her mind she would have hoped that she will just ruin Prachi's life by marrying Neev, live with him for sometime ensuring Prachi marries someone else closing all possbilities of ever getting back with him, then she will divorce Neev and get back with Milsi. Unfortunately for her things were not so simple.
Milsi got back at her and married Prachi. One master stroke to take revenge on her which ultimately was a blessing in disguise because he has inadvertantly chosen the right girl. So he moved on with his life, leaving her standing where she was.
If only she had accepted that and tried to make something of her life. No she was bent upon break them apart, more to assuage her need to avenge Prachi rather than her desire to be with Milsi. As Muneeza pointed out, her admission that even if Milsi is not with her she does not want him to be with Prachi showed the extent of her selfishness. She was willing to ruin the lives of everyone connected to him. She instigated Suki to elope (thereby disgracing Milsi), she arranged for Ritwik's kidnapping so Baba comes to know the truth, knowing full well that he had a weak heart, she staged a fake ONS and made Milsi feel bad for a mistake he did not make, she pretended to be his friend when all the while she was digging a grave for his happiness and peace of mind. She misused the confidence he had in her for her own selfish ends. If she had thought that Milsi would be happier without Prachi and he will come back to him once he leaves her, maybe one could give her some leeway. But she fully knew that Milsi is a broken man without Prachi. That irrespective of how much he thinks he hates her, he can never be back with Ayesha. This was made very clear to her in Panchgani when despite all the privacy he still did not give into temptation. That night she said to herself Milsi is not accepting her even if he is upset with Prachi. Despite this she goes ahead with her manipulative plans. So there can be only one reason for that and it is to see Prachi miserable even if in the process her own 'friend' is equally miserable. All these things to me are way beyond mistakes. They are nothing short of crime.
The only way I can be sympathetic to her is if she had done all these things because she was mentally unbalanced, which could be a real possibility given her family history. But many of these things were executed with such precision and manipulation (including giving false hopes to a poor orphan child inorder to get access to the orphan records, which was down right cheap), it cannot be a sick mind but one very clever yet crooked mind. And she covered her tracks very well after each act, be it escaping the hospital after admitting Milsi in it or burning the Suki's letter after she found it out. Now all these things would escape a mentally sick mind.
But now she is on the verge of loosing her mind. Her only confidant now detests and despises her. If she just turns into a raving mad person I may have some sympathy. If on the other hand she turns around and comes back at Michi, even a tad of sympathy I may have for her will just disappear.
About blaming Inder and Alaap for everything, I would'nt accept that. Granted that they had wronged her. But that does not excuse her behaviour. She has to assume responsbility for her sins and not take shelter in others misdoings. It is her life and the choices she makes out of it that determines it. Hence, she and she alone should be held accountable.
I admired the way Milsi takes responsibility for his mistakes everytime he realises he has wronged. Even yesterday while he admitted she misled him he blamed himself for allowing her to do so. It is high time she too assumes responsibility for her life and stops ruining the lives of people around her.
And believe me there are many people who have had lives far worse than hers. They do not all turn out the way she did.
One thing I never understood. If Inder never supported his second family financially, then who was supporting them till she grew up, considering her mother was insane all the while?
