If you see the pre accident scene she was shown to be very confident (was only 18 then and wanted to drive the car, I consider myself very modern but drove the car for the first time at the age of 24, and that too after my mom insisted), the accident is something which can break you to the core, it was not much about male domination or stuff, she had lost her self confidence post that, did you see her ever wearing modern clothes? But she gave a modern dress from her closet to Anika for the party which means she had those, just the accident broke her and made her patient of panic attacks, mental trauma and stammering so the point of not being equal doesn't matter here, she was very much equal (actually the way Anika is behaving by not filing a case against her abusive husband she is becoming docile and not equal)
Do you want to say the brothers used to include her before and stopped her post she went into a cocoon? That was too illogical and selfish
BTW she is still a college student and maximum girls in India don't do a part time job
The dresses can't be taken into account at all, in IB they are always circulating stuffs, Priyanka & Anika are not having same sizes, she gave like 3 to 4 modern dresses at different occasions. But if everything flipped like that after the accident then Shivaay didn't look into the matter at all? The first thing is that the whole accident drama was crafted post the exit of vrushika, Om telling her on her last scene, very confidently that he will choose truth against family...I never said they ignored her after she became quiet, but they never included her, they definitely cared for her & loved her, but they had already thought of marrying her off before allowing her to build up a strong career...And even in her own marriage she didn't have a say, see!!! Morever I felt she is having public anxiety disorder than depression. The car driving and all, this is all just new they never planned it before..we can see the gaps!!
