ENP 7-25-14 Episode Discussion :: Dadi + Pallavi + Pallavi's Kids?

Today what struck me the most was Shanaya's "emotional" dialogue to Dadi about how she doesn't care about Pallavi and Pallavi's kids. Granted that Shanaya's outburst was a bit rude and disrespectful, but I sort of felt sympathy for her. When I saw Dadi walk into Pallavi's room, for a second I thought that perhaps Dadi was going to try and make things right with Pallavi. Instead she finds another opportunity to blame Pallavi and not listen to her. She even goes as far as to question Pallavi's parvaarish, which is pretty ironic since Suresh's parvaarish should be blamed entirely for whatever has happened thus far.

Anyway, what did you guys think about that whole scene?

==

I personally found it rather distasteful (maybe it's because I like Pallavi more than Sharda). Dadi brings up the foolish argument that Sharda's kids would never do something like this because they have Sharda's parvaarish. However, Latika was the one who decides to stay back to "ruin" Pallavi's business, Latika doesn't want to give her share to Pallavi's kids, Chirag is always picking fights with Aarav, and no child of Sharda has spoken calmly and nicely to Pallavi (there are exceptions of course). Sure they don't go out of their way to infiltrate and purposely ruin by arson, but who exactly are Sharda's kids:

Latika - high executive businesswoman. Essentially her dad's right hand. She is very well aware of the law and ultimately it would be her loss too.

Karan - decides to leave Modi house and family. Taken up surname of "Sharda". Wants nothing to do with Modis.

Chirag - used to hate his mom. Loved bhaang, and went behind backs to have some even after being forbidden. Often missing from home, staying with friends. Shows signs of caring for family when stranger walks in and takes over house (before that he just left the house when Suresh tells Sharda that he hates her and loves Pallavi). Still in college, has no job, shows no interest in Modi business. Argues with Aarav a lot. Makes bad / impulse decisions. Heck, just today, he threatens Shanaya that he can do ANYTHING in the presence of Dadi ... which is 100% NOT Sharda's parvaarish

And to be fair - let's look at Pallavi's kids:

Shanaya - frustrated college student. Doesn't handle situations well nor make good decisions. Decides to act against Sharda when Suresh shows signs of wanting to go to Sharda. In other words, Suresh is to be blamed primarily for this. Further, Shanaya catching Suresh with Sharda numerous times is bound to have some sort of negative psychological effect on her. Sure the plan to ruin Sharda's business was already in place, but perhaps she would have reformed had Suresh not attempted to visit Sharda

Aarav - high school student (probably). Doesn't seem to care much about Sharda, more upset with Suresh. Argues with Chirag a lot. Shows signs of trying to accept Latika by calling her 'Didi'.

Sharda's 1 kid has nothing to do with the family, Latika has plans to secure her future which is why she is staying with the company, Chirag is randomly showing affection for his family after Pallavi takes over. From the looks of it, Suresh may have not spent much time with Pallavi's kids to begin with but Dadi doesn't see all that. Sure Shanaya's made mistakes (and this is totally opposite of what I would have said yesterday 😆), but she's a confused kid. How much can you blame her when all she is doing is exerting revenge in the manner she thinks fit. Logical, no definitely not. But overclouded with blind emotions - 100%.

The point is that I think Dadi should be more accepting of Pallavi. It's not her fault that Suresh put her in such a place (let's ignore Pallavi's ignorance in noticing that Mahesh = Suresh). And it isn't like she is going out of her way to purposely ruin Sharda's business by internally sabotaging it.

Sure Dadi is more partial to Sharda, but why does she have to focus on Pallavi only when Suresh is the one who caused all this. She blames Suresh too, but she doesn't really slab it up like she does with Pallavi.

Anyhow, like I said - it's probably just me being more of a Pallavi-fan than anything else. Still curious to see what others thought about the scene.
