Neither is she flawed , nor right .
Nor normal .
She has many many mental issues and needs a psychiatrist . And all these mental problems r not her fault , it is the way she has been brought up . By Archana .
To start with she did not have a normal family .
Well , many many children turn out just fine although they r brought up by single parents . But her single parent was not exactly like normal parents .
She grew up hearing stories of how a perfect family existed somewhere in the world and how one day her mother would be re instated as queen and how that would give her the role of the princess who everyone shall adore .
Actually reality was the family that the mother talked of had not kept any contact with her , even a cursory one . Nothing could be further from the truth . Her mother went on weeping dramatically and feeding her with lies about how everything was gonna be just fine for them one day . She did not stop for a moment and think of the impact her lies were having on a child's mind . The child saw the mother weeping on her bio children's birthdays and felt terrible to see her tears . She felt her mother was surely the victim to cry so much .
The child was always told half baked truths by the dramatic mother and the arrogant grandmother . She was told that the kidnapping of Sohum was her aunt's fault . Her mother was the good , innocent one to hand the boy to her 'just for a few hours' .
Always the child was told the mother 's miseries were the actions of others . So she grew up feeling very protective about her mother and vowed to give her what was 'rightfully' hers .
U see , this is where demention sets in . When one makes up a mind about what is 'rightfully' theirs .
To top it , the poor child was constantly told in subtle language that she was 'lucky' to be adopted by such a shining parent or her life would be hell . Not an opportunity went when it was not rubbed in .
So the summation of how she was moulded was that she was fed with half baked stories , lies and guilty gratitude was drilled in her .
Thats the way she grew up . Thinking and believing her mother was perfect . And she tried to live upto her 'perfect ' standards by suppressing her innermost real feelings .
All her life she did exactly opposite of what she really felt . And when she could not help being true to her innermost desires she made cooked up stories .
Like Ovi's bhalaayi .
Actually it was all about herself , nobody's bhalaayi .
Getting her mother in as reigning queen , then being the golden child as she had fantasized in childhood and carving a niche for herself in the family was her goal .
For that purpose she used men left right and center . Arjun , Onir were all victims .
The bio children were easy to handle . The missing one turned out to be a criminal so would never have a golden place in the family but looked doubtfully on , the elder son was easy to dislodge from grace bcoz of follies commited by him in past , the twin Teju was a trusting sort who actually trusted her ...the only real problem was the twin Ovi who did not trust her a bit and actually gave her a tough fight ...for the fiancee , for the family , for everything . So she ousted her out .
For instance take NOW . The excuse of Ovi's bhalaayi has worn thin . She is actually going to Panchgani with a sleazy man fully knowing his intentions simply to make Arjun jealous as a man when she thinks he is married to her sister and has a kid by her . Whose 'bhalaayi' is she achieving by this ? No one's . The kid Pia 's bhalaayi ? That kid , if the stories r true will be left without a dad if Arjun once more breaks up with Ovi from her POV . Not having him as a dad for her kid was her firm decision . Her own bhalaayi is zilch by encouraging aged sleazeballs or spoilt kids like Raunaq .
Purvi has no good intentions EVER . She simply camoflauges her real intentions as she has learnt the game young . Thats how she was psychologically moulded by Archana and Sulochana .
So i don't blame her , it could have been no other way .
