Great Post!
I agree with what everyone has said so far.. I also think her reason maybe because she still has not developed that important bond with Kamla, not really her fault so much as it is Kamla.
when you are not really close to your parents, the tendency is there to lie, because you don't have much faith in their understanding of you. See how easy it was for Kalpi to tell Gauri how she felt, because Gauri is more open with her than her own Mother.
Same way Paakhi feels very comfortable telling Kamla about her feelings for Raghav, because Kamla gives her that confidence to open up to her and in that she will understand her feelings. It was bound to happen this way, from the start. Paakhi can tell Kamla anything but Kalpi never felt comfortable to do so, because Kamla created that rift with her own daughter. Kamla never discussed anything with Kalpi about her life, besides her being successful. I don't agree with lying, but maybe if I had a Mother like Kamla, I would lie too, I guess one has to be in Kalpi's position to understand.
Also, Kalpi knows her Mother has the same thinking about Rich guy and poor girl, it is going to take some time before she lets her know anything about Raghav and her.
