I agree that it is nice that she is trying to protect the unborn child as it has no voice right now
I don't find her counsellign Uttara irritating I find her beign judge and jury irritating.
Everytime Vidya has defended someone she has always defended someone who has been in the wrong. It does not matter who she is defending them to. the point is the person being defended is genuinely wrong
She defended Gaurav. yes, he was gay, yes, he was int he closet, yes he was forced in to marriage but yes he also committed a wrong by going into it with full knowledge of his wrong doing and with no rel sign of repentance or guilt. through it all he was only interested in preserving his own skin. it does not matter why he got into a sham marriage what matters is that he participated as a consulting adult with full knowledge of the facts. no one had to pull any wool over his eyes. he did not want to be shot by his dad. simple as that. the way she defended him you would have thought that he had fought for world peace or something.
Gaurav really only cared about himself. Lets face it, what did he do for this family. Nothing. Yes he supported Devyani during the divorce case, but thats all he did. When Vidya left him after all that happened with Chinu, he was trying to smooth things over with Karan but put the burden of Vidya on Aditya. And Aditya even looked after his bhabhi. Even when Vidya found out he was gay and left him, he didnt even bother going to talk to her atleast, again it was Aditya who took him. And even later no step was taken for a divorce, he asked Vidya what she wanted to do but never put things into action. If it hadnt been for Aditya he wouldnt have even told Vidyas parents and Brahma about him being gay. Yet Gaurav comes out the hero and Aditya being called all the names under the sun. Yes he did do wrong but when he does right he is not appreciated. when all he did was believe in his dad who fooled him all the way.
Now with Uttara she is doing the same thing. Yes, Uttara was unbalanced, Yes, she was manipulated by BJ but taali ek haat se nahi bajti. the second hand plays an equally forceful part.
Uttara has always wanted to feel like a desirable woman. her behaviour, her dress her relationships and choices reflect this. I am not citicizing her just stating a fact. In fact I loved her character in the beginning because she seemed so optimistic full of life and playful inspite of her misfortunes. It is this desire to be loved as a woman as opposed to be supported as a female family member that let her accept brahma's manipulations. Just becasue the devil speaks in your ear you don;t have to do an evil deed. She bought BJ's tale hook line and sinker because she wanted to with all her heart not because she was helpless. actually once she had crossed the line it was clear that she got bolder, more defiant, she was tryign to manipulate him as as opposed to vice versa and she felt like the conductor as opposed to the fiddle. there were no blinders on. she tried to latch on even when he told her clearly he had tricked her, used her and did not want the divorce. she wanted her cake and wanted to eat it too. Her regret is truly that her love dream got shattered with Priya's disclosure not that she had created a sin by betraying her sister's trust and doing everything in her power to break her sister's marriage. She has demonstrated the same selfishness in my opinion that Gaurav did in doign the wrong then using their emotional circumstance to cry their helplessness from the rooftops. On top of that she expects the very people she betrayed so casually to be her support structure? Shameless is more like it.
This are the type of people that inspire Vidya's simple-minded trust and sympathy.
Yet, Aditya who truly had the wool pulled over his eyes and when the blinders came off acted the way a reasonable person does gets no sympathy - he did not commit a wrogn act i.e. sham marriage, rape or molest anyone, have an illicit affair, etc. all he did was make an error in judgement and maintain a cool attitude with his wife. they had a marital spat but he never neglected his commitments. he still doesn't. this man gets no sympathy. fine. but he definitely gets accused harshly. wow talk about a double standard.
Aditya is impulsive, hes shown that from the beginning, he gets angry quickly but his heart is in the right place.
I'm not saying the way he treated Priya and Devyani was acceptable, he was way out of line. But now he accepts all his faults and does not hide away from his mistakes. He has no problems in asking Devyani, SJ or anyone else for help when it concerns Priya. And he doesnt use his emotional state for sympathy like Gaurav and Uttara. Gaurav inherited that gene from Brahma.
