I mean when she’s wrong you can put across a valid point to support it but not at the time she has absolutely done nothing wrong!
If we try to think from Rhea’s perspective, it’s just a waste of time and energy! She’s plain evil and a killer too! And even if we think about her perspective, then I guess we should sit and think about all the criminals in the world and give them a free pass too if eg. few of them didn’t have a mother since childhood or some had abusive parents etc! She’s anyway getting a free pass in the show for her criminal activities and worshipped and pampered by her family especially her parents! And look at Prachi! She’s the biological daughter of that couple but is getting step child wala treatment by the whole family! Still she doesn’t go around playing victim card! So kudos to her!
I didn't put prachi down. My point was if prachi is justified to act scared when her mom was sent to prison for something she could be bailed for then Rhea is justified to cry and act when her father might falsely get accused of rape and sent to Jail for years and they don't have a lawyer now as well.
People are what they are because of their circumstances. Prachi didn't have an army like Rhea did but prachi had pragya who instilled good values in her. You need that for a good life and to be a good person.While Rhea had Aliya, Aliya made sure Rhea was close to her so she can use her for her own benefit. And abhi would never give Rhea any answer about her mom as well. So just because she had money and people around doesn't mean she was actually understood or felt safe or secure. And Rhea was just as possessive of abhi as Aliya was,where do you think she learned that trait. That's no excuse to what all she had done and she should be punished. No doubt there. But cannot blame just her for her actions. When a parent gets lauded for the good stuff a child does then there's accountability for the bad stuff as well. In Rhea's case,sadly she only gets attention when she throws tantrums.
Again,just to be clear Rhea is horrible. Not denying that. And not putting prachi down. Just saying, Rhea is what she is because of the environment she was in which trained her to be this way and prachi is again what she is because of her environment. And ofc Rhea can change given how she is an adult now but the writers don't want her to because otherwise there'd be no story for them. And her version of right and wrong is very skewed like aliya's. Aliya doesn't think she is doing anything wrong.
Also for your point about criminals, that's why you have a justice system that hears even the bad side and takes time to understand and give an appropriate punishment. The punishment varies depending upon their perspective and circumstances. Not every criminal is sentenced the same for the same crime they did. There's a reason why even the criminals get to have a lawyer representing them.
Also sorry for the long message, just to be clear. I like Pooja, absolutely loathe Rhea. I like prachi and mugdha.
