I think these family dynamics are being presented surprisingly well! I was wondering how Bhiu would react when her younger sister would be born...and here we get to see an interesting scenario where Bhiu is already jealous of the attention that Kashi is receiving from Radhabai. The fact that Bhiu is so young and accustomed to getting so much attention from her mother, father, and brothers, justifies her anger and fear...But it makes me wonder how she would have dealt with Anu's presence, since an infant demands even more care and attention from its parents than an older girl like Kashi!
I like how both Balaji and Radhabai are very much aware of the strained relationships between Baji/Kashi and Kashi/Bhiu - and I really like how the parents are trying to keep a sense of normalcy in their house, which they will hopefully achieve. Kashi does need comfort and care...I don't know if talking to both Baji and Bhiu at this point would be effective because they are both such stubborn, unhappy individuals, haha. But I do hope Balaji and Radhabai try to explain things to those two soon!
I also think it is fascinating to see how Radhabai is handling all of the changes in her family's life. It is a very difficult transition to deal with. I don't see any drastic changes in her mentality - I think Anuja is walking that line between soft and stern very well, and I can see both the humble, strong, and understanding Radhabai and the more socially-aware but still rooted, realistic yet equally perceptive Peshwin Bai in her portrayal. Whatever Radhabai is doing - and whatever she will do in the future - is for the sake of her family's togetherness. That is something that really stood out to me when Anuja was talking about Radhabai's motivations before the show went on-air.
Clearly I have too many thoughts about this show! Creative liberties and all, the way this story has been presented gives me so much to think about, and I love it! I am really, really going to miss this cast! But I am going to go through all of their episodes from the beginning soon, so...That will make me happy!
