All instances like the doll house one show how bad kuhu must have felt ... but as someone said on this forum earlier there are always 3 sides to a story.. my side, your side and the truth... but why Always the writers show kuhu’s insecurities... and try to passively justify her behavior... she hardly gets called out... she get forgiven easily without even apologizing... and what is this mann ki saaf thing... bad behavior and bad deeds can never be justified... irrespective of how justified one’s insecurities be....
and what is this BP/BM ki galti ka alaap?? They must have seen injustice happening with mishti everyday therefore they want to protect her interests... basically it’s a visious cycle... but people keep blaming mishti, BP/BM... and abir....
Bold- my thoughts exactly... treat others the way you want to be treated...

Agreed. The effect of years of bullying shows up when Mishti is at her lowest and has her calling herself names! And this is normalized in our show. They showed Kuhu looking remorseful when Mishti tells her she has her wish, but will that stop Kuhu from doing the same the next time around? So far it hasn't.
The worst was the latest magazine cover issue. Not one person spoke to both of them at the same time. Blame was apportioned equally, expectation was that MIshti will resolve the issue however. They felt let-down when the girls acted friendly and then accepted it happily when they helped each other out. That was the worst ever!!
I also never quite understood how being a parent and grandparent is one and the same. Kuhu had Varsha and BM was her dadi. Mishti had BM as her mom/dadi. I don't understand the expectation that they should be treated the same, but BM herself says she treats them the same, and that is misleading. Yeah, never understood why she should top Mish on Abir's priority list.
@bold - I remember that too. That level of pandering is something else!
I would say for Jas/Varsha/Kuhu, their fear for Kunal comes from how they feel about Mishti. Since they can't ever feel Mishti belongs, they assume RJVs will also never feel Kunal belongs. The way they are showing Meenu behave now will reinforce that. This is such a wrong message to send. I have no idea why they're doing this in the show.
@green
That is the issue with the show. No real remorse or reflection on Kuhu's part. And then they either show the sisters being too chummy or they justify her insecurities and deeds with token dialogues and scenes. And the cycle has been repeated so many times that the viewers know what to exactly expect!
And the worse part is we are so used to giving a long rope to Kuhu and bend over backwards to understand and accommodate her insecurities that we are now trying to justify them in whatever scenes and dialogues we can...
@Pink
Yes, just like BM-BP giving preferential treatment to Mishti caused Varsha to be more protective towards Kuhu and became a reason for Kuhu's insecurity is one possibility, Kuhu being insecure regarding Mishti and not accepting her from day 1 and Varsha being overprotective of her caused BM-BP to be more protective of Mishti is also an equally probable possibility!
They have shown how Varsha consciously tried to not get too close to Mishti! Also, she may not actively participate in Mishti bashing, but Jas gets away with a lot of ugly Mishti bashing in front of Varsha jo BM ke saamne nahin chalta.
So it is natural for BM to look out for Mishti.
And I too do not understand why people have the same kind of expectations from parents and grandparents! That is why I am saying if Mishti was legally adopted by BP-BM, she would have had a different position in the house!
@blue
I haven't seen the episode, so can't really comment on the scene.
But in general. while actively parenting, so many times we do not realize if we are doing something wrong or doing something that your children perceive as them being wronged.
BM may not have actively tried to differentiate between the two, so in her mind, she treats them equally. But subconsciously her preference is Mishti just like it's Kuhu for Varsha and not realize it.
@bold
Yeah, may be Jas/Varsha/Kuhu recognize the pattern since they are dishing out that treatment to Mishti day in and day out. It's like 2nd nature to them, so they don't mind Mishti being treated like that, but have issues when it comes to Kunal.
Well, the show sends out countless wrong messages, may be this one is with a purpose of teaching Kuhu her folly in treating Mishti badly all her life and get over her insecurities in the process?
Idk, I too am trying to make sense of things 😛
Mishti calling herself names is 👎🏼🤢
But I guess years of abuse and being called ugly duckling, behnji, you just exist but not needed, stray puppy dog etc.. takes a toll on a person no matter how strong they are. Your mind retains everything subconsciously even if you brush it off when being told...
