Sarla Maa wanted a marriage for her daughter. She was happy to find a rich and good family. She didn't want Pragya to suffer alone like her, and Pragya was not able to find a man for herself.
So I can understand her getting Pragya to marry Abhi. If PuLiyah issue wasn't there, Abhi would have been a fine husband for Pragya.
If Pragya had told her mom about how Abhi hate married her, the issue would have closed with one slap from Maa to Abhi.
I do not blame Maa on asking Pragya to marry Abhi. Pragya was not a baby but a young woman with a job. She didn't have it in her to stand by what she felt right- that is sensing Abhi wasn't going to be the right choice for her.
After marriage, it's Pragya's made up belief that Maa can't take her marriage being a mess.
Maa was more than fine and stood by Pragya during MMS or during TaBhi pregnancy.
There is nothing seriously wrong about Maa as a mother. She has done her best to raise two daughters alone and gave them education.
Daadi- I have respect for her for raising Abhi and Aaliyah. But given there is two generations gap between Abhi/Aalu and her, the values are way different. And she is stubborn on making the kids accept what she believes is right. This I do not agree with her although she wishes Abhi well. Abhi has developed more liberal thinking and she is trying to put him in her school of thought with the help of Pragya, who has beliefs like her.
I guess she has failed with Aaliyah already in similar lines, and then Aaliyah has other issues too.
So elders have some issues but younger ones do not have to dance to their tunes to ruin their lives!
I blame Pragya for not being able to stand on her beliefs ever since Maa supported her during MMS. Her belief that Maa is too weak to deal with her marriage issues is wrong.
Whereas Daadi has shown more health issues that way fainting and going to coma often. While Abhi's concern is true for her, he could confront her better and put his foot down.
I do not generally believe in blaming the elders (especially around this era of globalization with respect to India- we are exposed to and have changed so much- so it feels lame to me to think elders have to understand us, perhaps we should understand them better) when we stand on our foot and able to make decisions. It's one thing if we are fully dependent on them. But Abhi and Pragya etc are around 30. Times change and we have to make our elders understand that in a way that works for both of us. I have done it and expect the same from AbhiGya lol.
And as per Daadi and Pragya in Mogambo track, I think Daadi's motive is to prove Pragya is so great. She is so wrong in judging both Abhi and Pragya here. Abhi is not in love with Tannu for them to do this drama and Pragya doesn't have the capability to really crack this! But Daadi is on her own mission to prove to Abhi he can't have a better wife than Pragya and she is not seeing the losses everyone is going through. Nor Pragya understands how foolish is Daadi here.
