After all did her papa ji change , her bhai change or her jiju change ? nope they all remained the same with their misogyny surging with each passing day. Why would she believe in astha's claim that she can change his son.
What if he doesn't change. Why would she gamble when in her 20 years of existence she never saw a change in any of the men in her house.
I think she is naïve, what is the guarantee that the person she will get married won't be regressive?
I would again harp on the fact that while papaji did not change, bhai did not change , jiju did not change, but what exactly did Rama or Babli do change their perspective. From where I stand, they feed that misogyny actively to maintain peace in house. Rama let papaji and bhai run all over her. Her husband tries to marry her daughter off to a wrong person, does she speak up once? Her son tried to commit murder, what does she do... protect him signaling he was right. The family does back off when Rama threatens to leave ...imagine if she had done that earlier. Babli is not even able to tell Vineet that room is not provided by her client for her and there is no event, she is trying to delay the inevitable. This is a woman who was busy taking Shaurya's class few days back.
When somebody is opressed , the responsibility sits with both oppressor and oppressed. My point is she must not believe Astha's claim that she can change Shaurya but the odds that she has influence over Shaurya to change him is more than others. Afterall she did make him apologize for his verbal diarrhea in library.
