The answer according to me is NO. Motherhood is a wonderful gift but does that mean a woman loses every other happiness...what if a woman is in a loveless and abusive marriage? Should she abide by the rules and suffer just because she has children with the man?

We as a society are always ready to judge a woman without knowing the whole truth? Under what circumstances did Mala leave her son? As far as the history goes...she did come back for Rudra but couldn't get hold of him. Was Dilsher a good husband? What role did Mohini play in all this?

What happens when a woman...a mother really falls in love with another man? Does she have a choice to embrace her new love or she imprisoned by a society stays in a loveless marriage?

I believe it comes down to choices. Mala made a choice under unknown circumstances...so let's not judge her yet.

Also, from where I see this...it's Bigamy and Adultery if mala and Dilsher are not divorced. I hope there is an explanation for this because I really like Mala's character till now... I have a feeling that Mohini has a huge hand in all this.

I agree with you. Until we don't know the whole truth we shouldn't judge her and anyhow like I have said in others posts its not our place to judge her or forgive her. That is only for Rudra to do because he was the one she left all those years ago.

Absolutely not!!!
A woman should first and foremost be loyal to herself. She should strive for the happiness she wants for herself and in that can she then nurture those close to her, be it husband and/or children either living in a family unit or separated. Children are responsibility of both parents not just mothers!! Sometimes easier said then done!! Many thoughts on this subject, but don't care to write an essay.

Having said that, in this story we don't know the circumstance in which Mala left home so no judgement. I am sure Mohini had a big hand in it since she wanted her sister to be hated by all those who loved her and also to take over the property for herself and in the process also demoralize Dilsher and Rudra. Mala did come back for Rudra but he was no longer at the haveli. For all we know Mohini probably promised Mala that she would take care of Rudra as her own. Besides Rudra was not abandoned...Dilsher was there!!

No offence
Women is a mother first. Its said motherhood makes women complete. As for abusive marriage if you want to move out why not take your child with you. I know people will say mala came back to pick her son but y not take him along.

Marriage it self is compromise and children give meaning to it. Some times compromise is a good option it doesnt mean be a silent victim to abuse

AGREED! You can only make other's happy and do the best for them if you are happy with YOURSELF.

Men are taught to be strong, independent, self sufficient and yet women need to be docile, submissive and take care of the home: Society makes it seem that genders have these inherent socialized traits that are positive attributes, which is completely false.

I completely agree that there is sooo much more to this backstory which will only come up throughout the show! RR is about to get a whole lot more intense, fasten those seatbelts everyone!!

Is it okay to be in a love less relationship because she is a mother
Relationship breaks there are repercussions , and children face it the most
But isn't it a better way to deal with a broken relationship well and not let the hatred or mistrust reach the child rather than be together like mohini
She sdid her children no good , meaningless relationship also are bad for kids , unnecessary fight can leave a bigger scare at times
Like disher he was there physically but traumatized the kid by poisoning him what is the point that US bad parenting as well

No. A women or a man should not be forced to live in a loveless and unhappy relationship. If it is not working for them, either of them have complete freedom to move on. I agree to that point. But if a child is involved, that same women and man have to think of that child too. Then they can't be selfish and think only about their happiness. If they do that, then they can't say that they loved their children. No one stopped Mala from going to Rudra all these years. She didn't tell her lover about her son. She kept it all to herself. I really hope there is a very solid reason behind her actions than just love for Tejawat.

We as a society are always ready to judge a woman without knowing the whole truth? Under what circumstances did Mala leave her son? As far as the history goes...she did come back for Rudra but couldn't get hold of him. Was Dilsher a good husband? What role did Mohini play in all this?

I agree. These are very important questions that needs to be answered for all of us to understand Mala. Why everyone including me to a point, acted against Mala today, I think had more to do with the sympathy for Rudra's pain and suffering, than hatred towards Mala. Here was a boy who misses his mother and earns for her love even to this day and on parallel we are shown a mother who abandoned her son for her happiness.

Falling in love is not a crime but not speaking up about it and choosing the easy way of running away is.

I believe it comes down to choices. Mala made a choice under unknown circumstances...so let's not judge her yet.

I agree. I hope the wait is worth it.

Also, from where I see this...it's Bigamy and Adultery if mala and Dilsher are not divorced. I hope there is an explanation for this because I really like Mala's character till now... I have a feeling that Mohini has a huge hand in all this.



I love her and even respect her. That's why her statement today made me react first and then think. I really want CV's to show a very genuine reason behind her leaving her home. Not just a love triangle. Her character deserves that.


Priyanka, here is the link to another post I made on this same topic. Link

I've thought right from the start that Mohini has had a hand in Mala's leaving the house. She's all about control, and I think Mala's presence as the older brother's wife was threatening to her. Have they ever said who is the elder sister? I got the feeling Mala is younger, which might have added to Mohini's ambivalence.
And there clearly has to be a back story as to why Mala left Rudra behind. I feel that even if she fell in love with another man and decided to leave her husband, she would have wanted to have taken her son with her. I don't think we know enough about Dilsher and Mala's dynamic at this point to judge her on leaving him, or to place blame on either of them for the breakdown of the marriage.
The divorce question will be interesting. Whether she divorced Dilsher when she left before, and now if she wants to come back, how she's going to get a divorce from Tejawat if they are indeed married..

I saw one similar kind of post and I agree there is more to the story that what we have seen.
We as a society are not even willing to entertain the thought that there might be valid reason. We haven't see the whole picture so why pass the judgement and dole out punishment, my way of thinking at least. Is it because someone said that so it has to be? I read an article in psychology today and basically long story short it said it is not simple as black and white when a mother abandons the child. With father its kind of simple but mother its very deep. Here in this fiction tale we only know one side, once we know the other side perhaps it will make sense?
A mother abandoning a child is very harsh, no denying that but did she really? I have so many question that go both for and against her behaviour but I want to wait and watch. I don't understand why she married Dilsher to begin with? she was the pet of the parents? so if she knew Tejawat beforehand which parents will want their daughter not to marry a rich guy as opposed to one with a very visible handicap? and if she met him afterwards where did she meet him? on her way to buy groceries? how did their paths crossed? she was an exemplary mother to Rudra and he is haunted by her memories but we don't know how she coped these past 15years? All we have seen is one sentence to her hubby that she missed the boy that's it!!!!
It is quiet intense but lets see what CV's have in store for us.
