Can everyone please stop going on about interference and sainthood and all those things insulting.
So Annika tried to patch things up between the Obros, so what? Does that mean the bond between the brothers is lost forever. What type of bond is dependent on not allowing anyone into their fold?
Annika was doing exactly what any sane, loving, caring woman would do. Trying to rectify a situation which indirectly was caused by her involvement. She was obviously not to be blamed, coz she was made helpless, but that's between her and Shivaay.
It was very sweet to think of the devars taking her side, but as the eldest granddaughter-in-law she took it upon herself to not allow a beautiful relationship, the strong bond of brotherhood, be broken because of their feelings for her.
At times, it takes a 3rd party to put things in perspective or to remind an angry person of the silver lining or the hidden treasures. That's all annika did. She played the part many of us play for our families and many of us would have seen our mothers play.
It does not make us or our mothers saints. It merely makes us responsible family women.
