I think that Anu really did get a bad deal in the Bedi household. She might have had pre-conceived notions about Pooja, but I think that it was the conversation with Parveen and Kabir that made her realize for the first time the different roles Pooja plays in the house.

She did try her best to make the kids happy and all her efforts were really genuine, but she did not get appreciation for them. She wanted to treat Aaliya as she would her own daughter and more than Pooja's fancy painting, I suspect she would've put up Aaliya's painting in her living room. I think she must've been very hurt to hear Pooja describing her as a rakshasi, whatever she did or did not do, she didn't deserve to be labeled as that.

Purva.. my name twin 🤗😆

You said it right.. Anuradha was not completely wrong and Pooja was not completely right.. but the channel made them look like that.. Pooja had her kids, maids, father, father's GF, and VO to defend her while Anuradha just had her hubby who was at times acting like a smitten kitten in front of Pooja.. 😕

Pooja was indirectly fighting for Anu's rights .In the last conversation, both Nigam's conviniently declined to appreciate what Pooja did. I think that pissed off pooja and then she probably called her "rakshasi" and tore that letter ! Which ofcourse was rude on Pooja's part ! But I feel somewhere pooja's actions were justified too. Anu did face raw deal in house but at the same time she was judgement about Pooja not being a good mom. In elite circle, we will hardly find any mom making garam fulka's for kids n eating in hall.

Anuradha was somewhere making a virtue out of middle-class lifestyle. Yes it's a lifestyle millions of Indians live, but a far greater number live on the streets. They don't have fancy drawing rooms, wood-paneled kitchen and a separate bedroom for the kids. To these people Anuradha's home would appear to be like a hotel and luxurious.

Having said that Anuradha did realize her mistakes and tried her best to build bridges. I think, apart from wholly selfish reasons, that Pooja would've done well to have her father drop in more often. If the first visit had been from Kabir instead of Karan, then prolly things might not have escalated so far.

If it's about being judgemental.. then Pooja was also judgemantal.. she herself decided that because Anuradha is a housewife and does all the house work herself.. she needs an advocate to fight for her rights.. isn't it possible that Anuradha does it out of choice??

About not eating on dinning table and mom making garam fulkas for kids.. I agree it was not necessary for Anuradha to force it.. but just like elite people don't eat in living room... middle class people don't go out and spend couple of thousand rupees on decor items just because the decor color combination is not balanced..

And Pooja was right in showing her displeasure after the show by tearing Anuradha's letter.. she could have avoided "rakshasi" comment but then Rajiv also called her "Rakhi Sawant" which is not any less than "rakshasi".. but the Nigam's were not at fault for not appreciating what Pooja did and Rajiv did agree about the full time maid suggestion by Pooja.. but Pooja didn't have anything positive to say about Anuradha.. nor did she agree that her maid was at fault.. so it was even😊

lmao 😆

Yeah pooja was smart player. She was well prepared for the game. But I guess she was judgemental about Anu after seeing the cleanliness in kitchen. She was right that hygine wasn't maintained in kitchen and that blame should go to both Nigams . Pooja suggested playschool for kids only after seeing his scores (1 out of 20 ) 😆 I think that expense was justified looking at Rajiv's attitude towards kid ......Also expense for decorating house is kind of debatable. The house did get a new look and was looking clean :) . I am all for clean n neat house. It was one time expense probably provided by channel itself. Rather than buying new decor stuff, probably they shud have just cleaned the house. 😕

Now asking for maid wasn't necessary. But Rajiv must help his wife too .....The guy was getting upset even when Tea was delayed by 5 min ! He was making Anu work 18 hrs a day with his all demands. I think pooja was asking for maid as she was running short on time. It was too much for one person to clean that entire house and give new look.

I think middle class v elite circle have different living styles ...so both Anu n Pooja were justified to some extent. But yeah, i think Anita was trained for bullying Anu :) ....what a maid 😳

Yeah ...After watching BB ...now I don't expect these channels to be fair to contenstants. They edit and manipulate show to gain TRPs.

Kabir Bedi's (not drooling at the moment) timely advice and concurring with her new rule of everyone dining in the living area did bring a change in Anuradha's approach. She learned much more about Pooja and how she runs the house. Towards the end, she was calmer and happier.

I missed that rakshasi part. When was it? Did Pooja call her that?

Pooja is also scoring brownie points on twitter. She and her children emerged as a hero after the show whereas The Nigams got the wrong end of the stick.

Yes, she did, Anuradha had left a letter for Pooja, which she tore up without reading and said that "I don't want to hear what that woman has to say, I feel like I left my family at the mercy of a rakshasi". Just for that comment I think Nigam was justified in comparing Pooja to "Rakhi Sawant" at least in over-dramatization part both are comparable.
