Rejection of her mother means rejecting not only her mother but the entire life that belongs to her by virtue of her birth and moving away from not just her mother but away from all these people and life too.Why would Anandi want her child to lose all these things?Why would she want to risk losing her daughter all over again?If both her children are with her whether they know of their relationship or not she will ensure that both her kids get all that she can give them and all that Shekhar kids are entitled to.Even if she cannot get her daughter to address her as maa as long as her child is safe secure and among people who love her and care for her she is willing to settle for this.Shivam will eventually learn to accept this girl who his mother brought into their life.Even without knowing that she is Anandi's daughter she still has a much better life much healthier life style and she is getting her childhood back This is much much more than what she got as Akheraj's DIL Kundan's BV or Mangala's daughter.This is what Anandi is willing to settle for at this moment.If the choice is between her daughter moving away from all this after knowing the truth or having her daughter in front of her eyes and under her care even if the chld is unaware of the fact how much she is loved by her mother and her mother's family she will choose latter.If Mangala thinks that having the child address her as maa is all about being mother Anandi thinks that ensuring that her child gets best possible care even if she didn't know that it is coming from none other than her mother is what motherhood is all about for Anandi in case of Nandini.
