My two cents on Maldawali

I guess I'm on a posting spree tonight. 😆

So, here it is. I have wanted to analyse and write about her character for quite some time now as I find her to be the most interesting person living in this madhouse!

Who is she? What's her actual name? Has her name been robbed off her too?

More importantly, I want to know what goes on in her mind. Now, if she's one of those run-of-the-mill vamp and I'm simply wasting my time trying to write her down in words, I'll rest my case after this post. If, however, ST manages to surprise me with a complex character, I'm all for it!

At first, she seemed like the kind of woman I just mentioned above. But she's a lot more than that. She never really mistreats her fellow devraanis. She doesn't need to be sweet to them, but she is. Mostly, it's passive-aggressive behaviour, though.

What we see is her warning the new ladies beforehand, which becomes useful for their survival. But is she really warning them? Does it not seem like she's making sure the ladies remain in their boundaries by using fear as a weapon?

She is docile and submissive outside but fearless inside. Fearless and manipulative. Look at the level of influence she has over her MIL. Does it not look suspicious?

Gulguli listens to no one apart from her husband and her sons (the mards of the family, in short), and the only woman she listens to is Maldawali. The latter knows what to say to her and how. She knows when to rile her up and when to calm her down.

Furthermore, I also have reasons to suspect that she's the one who turned Manmeet into a drug/alcohol/whatever addict. Remember her whispering in his ear about how he can get a new wife but he might not get a fill of his substance.

Scientifically speaking, high dosages of opium and vodka can render a man impotent. Now, I don't know exactly what he is addicted to, but we can safely assume that she wants him out of the way.

And when I say out of the way, I mean out of the running from sitting on the throne of Berahampur. She wants it for her husband. Her husband wants it for himself.

Today's episode answered a lot of questions.

I don't know how long they've been married, but I can bet on anything that their conjugal life is pretty much nonexistent.

"Pehle humein ek aurat hone ka sukh toh dijiye."

Very possibly, she wants a child from him and he looked regretful/distraught. So, is he impotent? He surely has a medical condition where he gets breathing problems. Could it be a heart condition? A hole in the heart? Or Asthma?

Once again, putting science in perspective, a hole in the heart might or might not restrict a person to pursue a few things in his/her day-to-day life. But then I'm no doctor, so I can't really confirm this.

Maldawali is also an insecure woman. And her insecurity majorly stems from Veer's capacities compared to Jageer's inadequacies.

My guess is that Manmeet was the weakest link of the three brothers, hence easily manipulated into becoming an addict.

I also want to know if the family knows about Jageer. Why else would they announce Veer as the heir when he has two brothers before him? Let's take Manmeet out of equation as he's pretty useless. Usually in a patriarchal family like this, a man is counted on his ability to procreate. So is Jageer not capable of that either?

I have a feeling the answer is yes.

Which puts the responsibility of producing an heir on Veer. Now, what I want to see is if this show will take a turn like the show "Vaidehi" (which aired on Sony long ago) or, say, the whole Vichitravirya-Ambalika-Ved Vyas equation?

Let's see...

I think the elder brother is gay.. Eventhough he is not very sympathetic towards women he is not like his father and veer.. He dont order around maldawali like the other men ib the house and seems to be least interested in getting intimate
I guess if he had a medical problem his family would have been aware about it esp if it is as big as hole in the heart.. I think that will be known from childhood itself.. I guess he has aasthma...

till yesterday i thought the elder brother is against what happens in berahampur but now I think the whole lecture he gave before poori biradari was out of jealousy. i m not sure if he really cares how his family members behave with the new bride. 😕
the conversation between maldawali and him indicates that here is something wrong..yesterday also i pointed out that there r no kids in the house... hmmm so may be he is impotent.. but maldawali wan't maroying any tana to him.. she seemed all cheerful .. isn't she aware of his impotency? or did i missed something in that scene..

anyway, maldawali is indeed a meethi churi .. she wants the throne of berahampur for her husband..
i like this thing about the this character.. she is different from rashmi and shivani.. 😆 ab ek vamp bhi to chahie show mein...

You are so good at breaking down a character scketch.
Rightly said, at present sinario Maldawali is most intriguing and the smart character of that house.
After tonight's episode we can undoubtedly say her major concerns are Jageer impotency which denies him the throne and Veer .She cleverly removed Manmeet from the race, now she has to deal with Veer. Is she gonna play a role in Rangeela - Shivani play?? Have to see.
I think after going through all the atrocities after being brought to that cruel place, she decided to live the life their way. Be in good books of evryone , so it might come handy . As she said today " We need brain to swim in a lake along with crocodile apart from heart" I can't quote her hindi dilouge which i am not good at. So, excuse me. 😆

Her treatment towards her devraanis is like...I am the eldest bahu,have to successfully complete my responsibilities either by scaring them r by pretending as if she I care about them.

As Lord Varys has rightly said, "I don't believe in torturing. It does give you answers, but usually they're the wrong ones. So, I make them happy."

Smiles and niceness have a history of winning against fear and blood. It goes for every living being. You can't rule by inspiring fear for long. You will create more enemies than friends and that is the biggest reason as to why rulers fall.

Maldawali is definitely following Lord Varys' saying. She needs the other bahus handy, like a backup or something. Who is it to say that she won't manipulate them into rebelling against their husbands? Or teach them to not let their husbands get close to them? Not that it needs much manipulation. The ladies are pretty much revolted by their so-called husbands as it is.
