Kamla ma is apparently a daughter daughter in law mother friend and above all a good human being
The problem lies here itself ,every woman wants to be this and most of them are !!!
Daughter + daughter in law = she takes up so much screen space already without focussing on this aspect I am so glad we don't have to talk much
She does seem to be a very obedient daughter in law though - listens to mother in law always and even disagrees with husband when he thinks his mother is unrealistic ( hint - kalpi to get married to driver after she is failed by neetu )
Haven't we all ,if you are smart woman you wouldn't want to be the one causing the tension , let the son and mom fight it out
Wife
She was the sole provider of the house when vittal was out of a job - that is pretty awesome but she wears the pants in the relationship too which isn't a bad thing , but is always shown that she decides what's best for her family without consulting vittal , he is another child to be bossed upon
There are families with women domination ( isn't that important for progressive india - I guess it's payback for all the years of being subdued ) but vittal takes the degree of bring hen pecked to another level
In all honesty I m a far more confident and back my decision better when I talk it over with my husband only cause he s the only one who listens to me and that's the case with most normal women I know but Kamla doesn't Beleive in discussions eh ?
Good human being
If you can take care of another child when you have two kids of your own and not treat taking care of this child like a job great
Believing in girl education independence and power great
Dream big great
Support what's right and helping community great ( trying to save the chawl , helping gowri ) great
Supporting murderers - apparently it's a great thing to do , I could never do that cause I'm selfish enough to care for my family s and my life
Friend
Manda is her best friend - I have nothing more to say
You wouldn't call neetu and gowri her friends right ?
Though I consider my mom to be my best friend lets not go there now
So nothing terrible right so maybe she ain't all that bad
So maybe we all are going overboard
But everything changes once you talk about her being a mother , I never thought I could value this relationship till I had my son but if you are a womsn there is nothing more important than being a good mother
Since the show took a leap - I ve hated her as a mom
Pre leap I thankfully did not see then pen or the drowning incident so started the leap with a fresh mind
I'm not here to dissect the injustice towards kalpi let's just talk about the only issue at hand especially since she s always screaming that both girls are equal and she would have the same views if it were anyone else
A and b are her daughters
C is a boy who she also considers her son
( btw here I am struggling to be a good mother to my one boy and there she is being mom to 4 kids + rest of the world)
A loves c and vice versa
B loves c
C could care less about b
C marries b for revenge ( wonder what all our take would be if he had mArried her after rape - forget it how can c be great in the show , Kamla has to be )
So if Kamla were a good mother after slapping c she would go to b tell her truth , drag her out of the house and tell c that if you ever look at a or b you will see the worst of me
But no
Anyways fast forward
C and a have a pact that they ll wait for a year with god as witness ( anyone who thinks that's s wedding is as delusional as sati savitri - sorry no offense - it was only to give us ragna who we were starving for )
She comes and says there can't be no pact , c will have to love b as he has no choice and a will have to forget c
For people worried that in society this is what happens
Kamla didn't care about society when she was educating her daughter , when she was out of the house looking for a man in another city ( Pune) attending late night office parties ( confession night) she was well on course to being a great mother by supporting kalpi but no - she's hell bent on ruining kalpi
Kamla as a mother disgusts me and makes me question if there are bad mothers out there - if a child cannot get the support of their mother the purest form of love something's deeply wrong
