I might be completely off base or just grasping at straws to make sense of Bajaj but now I think I can understand why he would want a woman like Prerna to be around Kuki. If there’s one thing that Bajaj loves, its Kuki. He wouldn’t want any harm come her way. Prerna is good, she is pure, she has good heart so Bajaj might have wanted that kind of influence for his daughter. I feel like Bajaj doesn’t even trust himself around his own daughter, whatever ugly thoughts he had/has from his childhood, may jump out. He needs someone that won’t hurt the child, even unknowingly. Who is better to do that besides Prerna? With his traumatic past, the last thing he’d want is to become his own father. Maybe he thinks Prerna will center him and be a buffer for his thoughts?
I mean we can discuss how problematic it is to use Prerna as a crutch but for now, that’s all I have to say!
