As I use to advise many of my friends & cousins, a person can get a new life partner if needed; but you can never go back to a different person's womb and be born to a new mother. That is the relation a mother has with her kids and that is why for any Mom the life of her kid is precious.
We all may not like the way Mohini loves Anu and may describe it as toxic, insane, helicoptering etc. But the fact is that she does love her son intensely, even more than her daughters. Probably because he is her only son and i think there is a story behind it which i don't remember now. Mohini doesn't know the truth behind Pre marrying Bajaj and she has always been blind to any other thing when it comes to Anu. Only hours before she herself was saying Pre was running like she was running for someone she loved like anything. But when she sees Pre in the hospital & her plea to let her in, Mohini forgets how she plead with Pre to save Anu from jail & how Pre was crazily running in front of her hours before and shouts at Pre. Being a mother, I am totally on Mohini's side today. From where she stands, her son is in a critical condition and she just got the news that Bajaj is the culprit. Everyone is not our mahaan Pre. Any normal human being will react only like Mohini. So, what all Mohini said to Pre is right from her POV. Not only that, the way she was challenging the divine power in the mandir, in one way was a portrayal of her obsession for Anu; but in another way shows the extent to which she can go to get her old Anu back (which infact we were expecting to see from Pre). Mohini's flashbacks today made me cry and i started praying that all boys like Anu should never enter into a soulmate love like this which has only given him physical & mental pain. Arranged marriages are much better than this.
In short, if at all I felt the agony & pain of a mother for her son in today's episode, it is only because of Shubaavi's portrayal of the same. Her screen presence today was so powerful that, when Pre's scene with Anu came I found it boring & dramatic. Instead of feeling Pre's pain, I was laughing out loud for how the makers are struggling hard to use Anu to get the audience connected to PreRish. 😆
