I am not saying she’s a villain, she is grey yes. I don’t consider her a vamp but just a very very draining character. I used to take offence at people calling her a pampered princess but over the course of the episodes and a rewatch I realised that’s actually what she is. She lost me at that whole mandir ke saamne strong hone ki qasam khana because she didn’t want a marriage like her mom so she’ll act like her mom. Like what?? I didn’t need all of that, if they hadn’t tried to glorify the classist remarks and abuse she was about to put imlie through I still would have understood her more. But it was like my husband is not giving me attention so I am gonna go abuse this girl to get a reaction out of him. Fine ok. I get it. Next day it’s all over again you’re my choti behan and important to me. That’s when I was done. If you’re acting based on suspicions then why did those suspicions suddenly disappear? Because it was never about that, it was all about pulling adi’s focus towards her even if it meant torturing said choti behan. At that point, she only subconsciously thought aditya was paying attention to imlie and not her, and that’s what pissed her off so she went off on imlie instead of confronting aditya. When that didn’t work, she broke down and took this very huge step that could have ruined everyone else’s lives around her too. That does make her seem lowkey manipulative, and I say again I would have been okay with all of this these shades were something I was looking forward to but they are constantly glossing over it. It was executed so badly. She just seems an empty character. Like you said, this is a show that tries to be real, she is not the sautan that makes the grand plans but a very human character with flaws. These flaws though are very draining and dislikable.
There are not going to be grand plans in a story like this we’re gonna have to look at the actions of everyone and analyse their intentions from that. Even that whole pd breakdown what was the logic in it? Her and aditya hadn’t had any big fight, he was gone only 3 days and lied about where he was, just a couple days after he was beaten up badly by people. Why was her first reaction oh my god my marriage is over he could very well have been in danger? Look at it from the characters’ pov not the audience who knows the whole story. She made such a huge scene in front of everyone (his family who was worried for him too) and then stopped eating?? I am sorry I tried to understand her, I really did and maybe I see where her reactions come from but all she comes across as to me is an entitled woman who throws tantrums to get attention and breaks down when she doesn’t get it.
