I think the writers have lost track of the story line and are running tangential plots here. I have no problem with Anupama staying back but the delineation should be clear. They divided up the house, upstairs and downstairs, why then do they all eat dinner together? Absurd in the extreme.
While the writers have made Kavya a caricature of petty malice, Anupama has herself become ridiculous in her niceness. She answers Kavya back once in a while but that is about it. Why worry whether Kavya uses her left hand or right to do the puja? Holding Kavya when she was about to fall, okay, that could be attributed to natural reaction but applying ointment on her feet??? Why be a glutton for punishment? So terribly self deprecating and cringeworthy.
The character of Anupama seriously needs a makeover in her thinking and behavior. She can be nice, she can be caring but show detachment, some space between her and Kavya and Vanraj. Anything to do with Vanraj should not affect her anymore - she can be indifferent yet kind.
The divorce happened because Anupama did not want to be married - tied legally - to a cheating slime of a man. She was hurt, violated, humiliated and that was her way of putting some distance between Vanraj and herself. That was understandable. Her pushing Vanraj to marry Kavya was not acceptable, none of her business actually. She mothers Vanraj almost as much as Ba does. Maybe old habits die hard but if she loathed being his wife after realizing his despicable deceit, she should not engage with him other than about their kids.
By the way, it is a new practice here when parents get divorced that the kids stay on in the same house and the divorced couple co-parent by taking turns to live with the kids instead of shuttling them around in cases of joint custody. So the kids can have a level of continuity and familiarity in spite of the parents being separated.
Yeah there was fluctuation in the quality of the writing for this show from the beginning, and now it's gone so terrible it's literally just hate-watch material.
Whether they eat together and all that or not, Anu living in the same house even after divorcing Vanraj is nuts. Like seriously who tf does that!? If Baa-Bapuji didn't want her to leave then they didn't want Anu and Vanraj's divorce or his marriage with Kavya either, but she pushed for both of those things in spite of how they felt about it. Clearly it's not like Anu blindly obeys everything they say anymore, so why exactly is she doing this?
And yeah Anu's relation with Vanraj is so weird now, it's like she took the "beti" thing to seriously and placed herself in the role of our Vee's elder sister or something mentally 😵🤢.
It's so abnormal to carry on living with your ex being friendly with him and all like this, I hate Kavya but for the first time I feel like she has a point- Anu's thought process behind all the things she did is simply not possible to understand for any normal humans (regardless of young/old, modern/traditional, etc) and any sane person seeing all this would say she is secretly still pining after Vanraj and playing some sort of weird/twisted games to get him interested in her again 🤢.
Making the kids an excuse or staying back in this situation is pathetic too, they are all adults or almost adults, (Anu's two sons are married and engaged respectively ffs). Can these men not take care of themselves and their teenaged younger sister? Custody and all that isn't even an issue in the case of these 16-24 year olds.
What an terribly regressive joke this show has turned into. Why is it that these shows claiming to come with some sort of empowerment message always end up this way (while the regular supposedly non-empowering ones are usually never as bad) lol 🤡.
