Kunal went to Abir and Mishti multiple times for this, he kept asking Abir what he should do as he can't see his mother being treated like a servant by people, Kunal is not wrong in giving Parul her rights, He is not taking away Meenu's rights, Parul will still do household work but people won't misbehave with her, no child can see his mother being ill treated, whatever Kunal did was right for me
When did Abir accept influencing Kunal?
Kunal said it was his decision in today's episode, give the man some agency, don't put everything on Abir and Mishti
Hi Nora!
This back and forth conversation has made me realise that I was probably not clear in expressing my POV on this whole situation in this post. I had had a discussion on this very thing in the last Meenu thread and it was wrong of me to assume that everyone who reads this thread would have gone through the 15-16 pages in that thread. That's my bad.
Let me know if it would be wrong of me to assume that you are seeing this back forth between us as MishBir vs KuKu because if that's so, then we need to reset. I don't see them on 2 ends. Their stories are interdependent and so are their characters. So, basically what I am trying to say here is that I am not blaming MishBir for what happens in Kunal/KuKu's life. I am blaming them for their involvement in a matter that does not affect them at all. I'll explain why I say that.
When someone comes to me for advice, it does not make me obligated to give them a piece of my mind. In this case scenario, Kunal didn't go seeking advice. He shared a dilemma with her and asked her if she felt similarly, she chose to tell him that their scenarios were very different. That was a simple scene and gave Kunal a broader perspective into the situation and that is the reason why I don't feel Mishti is to be blamed here.
Coming to Abir, I didn't have much issue with him until he went to Kunal before the event and told him that "Abhi bhi ek cheez hai jo accept karni rehti hai...". There was no need for him to do that. He brought the topic up and went on to tell him to do the right thing. As an elder sibling who knows the level of influence he has over his brother, he should not have done that. He should have let Kunal figure out this relationship on his own and not gotten into it at all. If anything, he should guided and supported his brother through the process of accepting his mother (if he ever decided to do that in his own time), rather than trying to force him to accept Parul as his mother.
Also, Abir hinted that he had a hand behind Kunal taking the step during the MishBir conversation right after Meenakshi left the venue.
Talking about Kunal, he did decide to give Parul that place in life after listening to points. It was definitely his decision. He chose the people he wanted to discuss the matter with. And I do believe he would have accepted Parul as his mother sooner or later but I do feel that Abir's constant insistence played a bigger role in him choosing to let Parul cut the ribbon. He would have let Meenu do it if it was not for that one conversation.
Having analysed Kunal's character these past few months, I feel that Kunal would have taken the time to think through the decision or it would have been very instinctive and in the moment rather than it being this big gesture.
