Babi.
chik chik chik chik.
I must honestly admit that I have not seen LTL from the beginning. I did start watching...but Mahi's performance was not powerful enough for me to keep watching...I watch the show from the day Dutta appeared in the show. first of all thanks so much Ani for coming up with this thread at such a short notice ...me too started watching the show once it was confirmed that mishal would be playing the lead so even i dont possess much knowledge about what all happenened in the beginning ... Babi is a very strong woman...who has been through a lot.rightly said ..but never given up. She is very loved... by her second husband and her kids....oops ganpat was her second husband ?? that's news to me
Because of her first born daughter's wrong choice and disappearing... she choose to put black color on her second daughters face.
I would like to ask you all...was it the right thing to do? Would you have done the same thing in her situation?..the whole story of LTL is based on this desicion of babi ...
I am not sure...what to say about this...never lived in an area like this to know how it is.yeah we have not lived nor been brought up in such areas so its difficult to say wheather it was right or wrong ..a part of me says that a mother who loved and wanted to protect her daughter took such a harsh decision which was painful both for her n nakku ... m sure even she went through hell seeing her daughter being ridiculed but then if she could stand up against morey later on then she could have done that before too .. i think she wouldnt have left any stone unturned to protect fair nakku had somebody laid an evil eye on her
But as a mother...Make your daughter believe that her true color is a curse...make your child hide who she really is.and to see her suffering so much doesnt really justify her decision ..you can say it is to keep your daughter safe...but it could also be to make your job as a mom easier.
I am personally against it. I would never ask my daughter to do something like this...so I feel more relax and in peace. Like I would never make my child live my dreams.
What I loved about Babi was the way she handled Morey.yup she went all out to attack him even he was molesting nakku publicly ..what ganpat should have done she did it ..it is true what people say...A mother would do anything for her child.
Another think I never understood...why Babi lived with Ganpat..good question ..he was good for nothing infact created more problems for mother daughter instead of solving them ...yes there was a man in the house...but where was he when he was needed?
The strength and respect Babi had in the beginning of the show...she did not need to hide her daughter's true color or have a man in the house...she was enough to make people respect her and they not get in her way.
I liked Babi's character a lot in the beginning and her relationship with her kids...later in the show her crying became too much to watch...and her pouting ...she seemed to have lost faith in herself , in her daughter and above all bappa
Babi also became a little selfish., yes she forced her thoughts n mindset on nakku , didnt allow her to live independently and freely , just to protect her she ruined her childhood and later on even her love life ..because she did not understand Dutta and his love for Naku...maybe she never really forgave Dutta...she also had a problem with trusting men.she didnt realize that her over protective nature was destroying her daughter's life and yes she didnt trust dutta at all , she only feared that in anger he might harm nakku ..she forgot that lie do not keep staying hidden...she forgot that Baba always had taken care of her and her family...she kind of lost her faith.
Babi's relationship with Dutta was interesting...she never accepted him as her son in law...she only saw him as Dutta Bhau.yup bhau , the hot headed gangster..and was it not for Naku falling deeply in love with Dutta...Babi would have been against it...and that is understandable.
In few words that describe Babi is...strong...independed... mom... experience...good...loving...young and a little childish heart.hmm she was cute ..
In the end I would like to say...the writers never really developed Babi's character...instead her character got more weak...pessimist and was crying all the time.
