Some Thoughts on Mishti's Situation and the Bigger Picture - Page 2

PS. Had originally posted in the AT thread but posting this here upon @SheThought's request with a few additions. Thanks for the idea... This post was basically about how I feel that Mishti should be given more time to make the right decision, but also that her situation is far different from Abir's. Another thing, though I might be in the minority, is that I cannot bring myself to hate Meenakshi despite everything that she's done. After all, she is the reason why Mishbir's story has progressed the way it has.

Yes, Mishti does indeed deserve more time to make the decision to stand up for herself and her love. However, her situation can in no way be compared with Abir's. Mishti knows that Abir is in love with her and how. She also subconsciously knows very well that she can confide in him and that they can solve the problem together. It is just that it will take Mishti some time to do the right thing, and people are starting to lose patience, which is understandable. Yet, it is necessary to keep watching and let the story build up because everything can't happen now. I also don't see any reason why Mishti can't pull Abir into a corner and tell him the truth, but am willing to sit back and watch the drama play out as there was some positivity in today's episode. So far, only Abir's love and trust has been tested by BB and Kunal. Now the time has come for Mishti to pass with flying colors as well. I am counting on the makers to not disappoint and for Mishti to prove that she loves Abir as much as he loves her.

Also, at the time Abir left, no one really called him mahaan because Mishti was not in love with him yet and Abir didn't have any reason to fight for her as she had not given him any signals as such.

Even if Mishti did like the things done during the courtship, she did say yes to Kunal. In real life, siblings often help us set up dates and pick gifts. That doesn't mean that we assume that our sibling's partner is not in love with them but us. As soon as Abir found out that the things done by him during the courtship were the ONLY things that Mishti liked about Kunal, he made the decision to go back as he realized that there was now a huge chance that Mishti would fall in love with him as she likes both his personality and the things that he had done for her. Abir was in no place to fight for Mishti or even confess at that time. It wouldn't have done anyone any good as it just would have made Abir look selfish. However, he very well could have let Mishti know the truth about the courtship by telling her that he read her diary and that the reason she had agreed for the engagement was based on a lie.

Still, I am actually glad that Mishti came to the realization herself and Abir was spared the shame of becoming the reason for the engagement to break, be it because of his feelings or because of the role he had to play in the courtship.

This is still why I don't hate BB despite the recent episodes. She is actually the person who has helped Mishbir come together and however scary she is, she has stuck to one viewpoint from the beginning of the show. BB may be manipulative, egoistic, and harsh, but she has never changed her views (in her head, atleast) and she is what she is.

In comparison, I dislike Kuhu, Jasmeet, Kunal, and even Varsha more as they are all hypocrites who who are fickle-minded, selfish, and quite dumb. They don't stick to a single viewpoint and are always seen pinning the blame on Mishti. Shaurya is just neutral and wouldn't say a word in Mishti's favor either but I don't really have any opinion about him. However, knowing that he had an illicit affair while being married makes me look down upon him.

In the Maheshwari house, I like Badi Ma as she is super sweet and true in her love for Mishti, but she is also not as strong and assertive in putting across her views and standing up for what is right as we have seen during the Rajvansh house party and during the emails fiasco. Bade Papa and Abir are definitely the favorites of the show and truly the only ones that can help Mishti get herself out of this mess.

The interesting thing is that Meenu knows this too and she has specifically made it a point to threaten Mishti that she cannot inform Abir or Bade Papa. And by doing this, Meenu has actually hit the bulls eye in her mission to break Mishti. She is now targeting the trust and faith of two people who love and believe in her the most, Abir and Bade Papa.

After failing many times, Meenu has finally understood where Mishti draws her strength from and who her weaknesses are. Abir and Bade Papa are Mishti's biggest strengths, but are also in a way her biggest weaknesses. She just cannot imagine disappointing or hurting them. It is this tug of war that is stopping Mishti from being the sherni that she truly is. The irony is that while these are the only two people whom she is willing to sacrifice her self-respect for, they are also the only two people who would never ask her to do so and would instead berate her for even harboring such a thought.

It is only a matter of time for Mishti to realize that Bade papa is not going to break down or fall ill because of KuKu's rishta breaking (he would actually be relieved and would diss Meenu in a way that she would never forget).

More importantly, Abir would never want to have Nanko's marriage with Kuhu at the cost of Mishti losing her self-respect. Remember he once said to Nanko that he would either have to make a commitment to Kuhu or let her move on. This time around, Abir only put in his 100% efforts after he got the feeling that Kunal likes/loves Kuhu back and that he does not want to lose her. If Abir even gets the slightest clue that Kunal is not invested in Kuhu or that he is willing to sacrifice her due Meenu's absurd demands, the tables are going to turn big time!!

I hope the time comes soon for Mishti to confide in her biggest pillars of support, Abir and Bade Papa!! Though she has upped her game, Meenu is yet to realize that she has indeed once again underestimated Mishti.

PS: Thank you Pali 🙏

Like the positivity in your post....but to take long for us as audience will be difficult. I really hope Mishti tells them or Abir grts to know about this soon

I can understand what mishti is going through and can't really blame her...her character always takes time but does the right thing...it's just that mishti's bold avatar is seen when something big happens...what will happen this time that will finally let her speak up

Nanu saying Raaz tab khulega jab zindagi maut ka saval hoga...was that a build up or random line...who knows

Let's see...Abir has always stood by mish's side be it during party wrong timing wala thing or email ...he also told mishti that he knows her mom too well in that car wala scene...it's high time Mishti starts sharing things with Abir...this time she won't be able to handle it all alone like gordhana track.

I think this time Abir needs to realise he needs to drop off from the bandwagon of getting his nanko hitched ASAP. Without Mishti's help

Just like Mish realised Kunal is not right match for her. I don't want Mish to be the reason of the family breaking apart and neither does she. Who in the family will get to reveal it, is the question. Abir ko pata chalega nanko is playing games vo khud rishta todegi dega.. Maybe m trusting too much... I still feel. Meenu planning is not come frontrunner in front of Abir anytime soon..

I hope the time comes soon for Mishti to confide in her biggest pillars of support, Abir and Bade Papa!! Though she has upped her game, Meenu is yet to realize that she has indeed once again underestimated Mishti.

In the blue: I tweeted this earlier this week but only regarding Abir. Mishti is in a very precarious situation.

On the one hand is the family, who despite their faults took her in when her own dadi rejected her. This family weathered the storm that was Naman with her and for her. They could easily have sent her away when Naman tried to kill Naitik or because he tried to kill Naitik, but they didn't do so. They took her in and raised her as their own.

Bade Papa and Mummy never differentiated between her and her biggest fear ( which unfortunately Meenu knows) is she never wants them to regret taking her in. Something she's been clear on since she was a child & this is what she had a truce with Kuhu since they were kids and disliked each other.

When it comes to Kuhu, I think Mishti doesn't really realize that she does love Kuhu deep down. Her relationship with Kuhu has always been one of competition and fighting but a lot of sibling rivalry is like this. When it came to someone attacking her sister, she took a stand. Mishti knows Kuhu loves Kunal, and she believes Kunal to love Kuhu as well. Mishti believes that Kunal is like his brother, Abir. Someone who will do the right thing when it comes to Kuhu. There's a chance that things turn around when Mishti or even Kuhu find out Kunal has been playing her all along her. We are starting to see Kunal's guilt, and per the precap he may confess to Kuhu that he doesn't love up while he's intoxicated.

There's no question of Abir's loyalty to Mishti. She knows it too and that's why everytime, she's dreamt of the situation she's in, dream Abir has been her support system and urged her to stand up for herself and for their love.

The reason why she hasn't taken Abir into confidence is Abir himself. It's not because she doesn't trust him or believe in him. Because she does - she's said so multiple times and before she even knew she loved him.

She doesn't want to burn bridges between the 2 families and she doesn't want to break Abir's heart. Remember when she didn't apologize to Meenu after her family begged her, but she saw Abir's face and w/o him asking her, she apologized to his mother in front of everyone. She didn't care for her own self-respect, but she put him first. Even before herself.

Family has always been a sensitive subject for Abir. His family is his support system but also his mother is his biggest enemy. He doesn't get along with her at all. Does Mishti break his relationship with her any further? Because if she does, then what's the difference between her and Meenu?

I think Abir will come to know of this whole thing and he will break, but it won't be at the hands of Mishti. It will be at the hands of Kunal and Meenu. Mishti will be there to help him pick up the pieces.

Family se barkar love. That's Mishti's motto and that's what she's trying to protect right now. Her family and her love.
