I agree with you it seems more odd because Pragya's character was presented completely the opposite of how she is behaving now.
Agreed she is doing this to protect her sister and keep her mother from bawling for the rest of her life. Very noble of her.
And I truly believe one has to suspend one's disbelief to watch these Serials.
But what upsets me is the fact that once a character is set up as a strong and fighting for justice kind of person then to make them into a boohooing... Woe is me...
kind of character does not sit well with me.
And why always show a woman being humiliated and not defending her self respect
with dignity and taking all this crap to stroke the hero's ego.
Pragya knows the people she is dealing with are wrong and that they themselves
have orchestrated this whole fake revenge marriage so I all would like to see her
stand up and tell them that she too is capable of making their life miserable if they do not lay off with the insults or she will go to the press and blow the whole thing up in their faces.
This way she uses her power on them just as they are using their money and fame to intimidate her.
This is just my take on this but then again this is Ms. Ekta's show and she has a formula that she keeps repeating on her audiences.
We either take it or move on to greener pastures.😆
