Criminals, smugglers, thieves do a lot of charity. Give away money. This is their way of assuaging their guilt of having done wrong. Real life and fiction is full of characters who do this. (Robinhood, varadarajan mudaliar, dawood Ibrahim etc etc)

I am trying to draw a parallel for Mala here. Could it be possible that Mala looked after Paro to assuage her guilt about giving up Rudra? If she still had Rudra, would she have taken in paro and looked after her? Been like the vast ocean she taught Paro to be. I think maybe not...

Strangely Mala seems to have no concern for Paro. Is not asking questions on how she is doing? how did she get here? her welfare. It seems to be all Rudra and herself only...

On a lighter note, all those lessons that Paro is recounting seems to be new to Mala. She looks surprised when Paro tells her "remember you taught me this?" Mala's expression seems to be "really? I don't remember!" :-)

This mala character is really fishy , she is like the most self - centered person . shudnt she be curious to noe abt how paro survived the fake marriage and got married to her son . it doesnt even look like she cares much for her own son .

the fact that bugs me the most that in the end cvs will portray Mala as the saint who was nrv wrong in wat she did .

FYKI Robinhood is not a criminal.. he is a do gooder who stole from the rich and gave to the poor.. the folklore celebrates him as a hero..

I am not sure who the others are.. but criminals and gangsters are repeat offenders.. you cannot compare hardcore criminals to Mala whose only crime was to leave her family...

All throughout the serial they showed us a guilt ridden Mala.. so she did feel guilty to have left her son.. but I did not see her acts of kindness as an appeasement for her guilt.

Robin hood stole from rich to give to poor, I would not consider him as a criminal and the others are terrorist who killed people and tortured them. To lump Mala in the same category is not only premature but ignorant as well.

Story of Mala is very incomplete no one knows her reasons and to cast her along with the others is unfair. She genuinely cared for Paro and it showed. Right now she herself is traumatised. She is feeling guilty and but obvious pain but she hasn't said a word yet. She needs to talk and if it turns out that her actions weren't justified then take it from there.

Right now Rudra is not listening to anyone let alone Mala. She cannot just go upto him and say shut up and listen to me...she herself has to understand what happened after she was gone. I am not defending her but I am not condemning her either because I believe in innocent until proven guilty.

Once the whole story is out lets see what the general census is then?

something is missing in the characterization of mala

a woman who decided to end the marriage because it was meaningless , choose to be happy , choose to mother a random girl can either be a and self centered manipulator or a nice soul

either ways she cant be clueless , she cant be this weak

she can be either a go getter (then there shouldnt be any self pity )

or she is as nice as paro believes her to be (then she should gather by now any attempts of paro to mend her relationship is putting both paro and rudra into captive situation like you mentioned)

feeling guilty for leaving rudra i understand , but this doesnt explain mala behavior completely , i see a flaw here in writting the character of mala , she is neither positive or negative as of now

Robin hood took from the exploitative rich and gave wealth back to the hardworking poor. He was being just and not charitable.

Mala was a mentor to most girls in the village. She probably guided a lot of them with wisdom and taught them the ways of life. In the beginning she acts the same way to Paro and Bindi. It probably meant more to Paro because she had lost her parents and the kindness offered by Thakurain was special. In those episodes, she never searches for her son's face when she sees other boys playing, or wonders how old he will be when organising Paro's wedding. She shown just enjoying the moment and being content with the people around her. So whatever place Paro made for herself in Mala' heart is her own not Rudra's.

Yes, Rudra is not in the state of mind to listen to anybody. But when so much effort is made by his wife a few attempts by his mother won't hurt.

It certainly looks that's the way the CV's are going. But then again this is RR and the creatives have surprised us before... Also seems they are going to make Mala look good by pulling down dilsher...

The thing that gets me about Mala is that there seems be no ability to think about the other person's situation. Its all about how she feels and then reacts... and she is doing it even now with Rudra...

What got fixed in her relationship to dilsher or the haveli that she can come back after 15 years? Did the problem she ran away from get fixed? So Paro/dilsher invites her and she comes?

The self pity also doesn't sit well. The willingness to believe whatever paro tells her...

If Robinhood took from someone without their permission, then it is stealing. Period. That makes him a criminal. That is why he needed to hide in the jungles of Sherwood coz the law was looking for him. The fact that he gave it to the poor does not not make it stealing.

he stole. most definitely.

He is a do gooder for the people he gave money too. But ask the rich people he stole from . Oh Yeah! Criminal!

imagine if everybody helped themselves to others money. a la Robinhood. Fine society we would have then.

But I was just using Robinhood to illustrate a point. That often people do something good to justify/balance a wrong they are doing in their life. So Mala looking after paro need not have come from an act of pure love. It could have been a way to assuage the guilt...

Mala does come off as very self centered at this point. Lets forget that she has lead a guilt ridden life because of her deed, but what is she doing at present ?

Why did she even agree to come to Rudra now, leave his house ? Tejawat's betrayal right ? Would she come back and repent or even cry in front of Rudra had Tejawat been a good and wise man ?

She wanted to run away with Rudra, which would result in Rudra being separated from Dilsher ? In that case also he would be deprived off one of his parents.

And moreover, she did tell herself to Tejawat that she abandoned her son for him, and even Tejawat told Laila the same thing, then i dont understand why and how did the CVs forget that ? within a week, they are trying to justify Mala but bringing and Mohini's evilness and Dilsher's roughness here, but whatever it is Mala is not a saint to be treated like a godess, which currently the whole haveli is treating her to be.

It will be shameful if CVs show that Rudra forgave her because of Paro, she must suffer a bit, she must repent a bit, she must realize the suffering he has been through and beg for forgiveness, and Dilsher, i cannot even say how i am completely in disrespect for this man now ? Hypocrisy and selfishness can be learnt from both Dilsher and Mala, putting your son under the bus for their self satisfaction, forcing him to drown into misery for their own luxury and solace and then they expect forgiveness from him , especially when they themselves are manipulating his wife with their crocodile tears of self pity and self guilt. RIDICULOUS.

On Robinhood, please see my response to ladylala.

Yes ofcourse. Only Mala knows why she looked after Paro. They haven't told us that yet. So yeah, it could be premature. Ignorant? ok :-)

About Mala's feelings. Is she feeling guilty? I don't know. She seems to regret? Not sure what she is regretting. Not getting accepted by him soon as she showed up? Not taking Rudra? Not realizing this is how it will play out? She seems more shocked than guilty or regretful.

Ofcourse in future we can get any justification. But the facts we know until now. She chose to break the family. When you break a family there is a very good chance that you will get separated from your child. Had Mala not considered this when she made that decision?

Its also a fact that between her child and running away. She chose to run away. Even if Dilsher threw her out. She could have stayed there and waited till she was taken back in. Kaakusa would have done that immediately the next morning. Rudra would have done it. But she chose to walk and that is a fact. In the same situation, did not Paro sit outside and not go away?

It was hers to choose and she chose. And there is nothing wrong with it. But now to act like she was wronged is the part that most people including me cant seem to swallow...
