Interesting post! One thing I would like to add from my end. Post leap we see a toned down version of Maami simply because she is no longer in a position of power. If given that power (be it through money, respect, etc...), she will return to her former self. No denying that she loves Anita & Raavi, but that has never stopped her from trying to use and manipulate them. Her love will never be unconditional nor will she be able to put their happiness first. That was never her strong suit. Her love for money will rank a bit higher than her love for these girls. That is a huge part of her character.
Now I feel like her need to win the battle against Suman and one up the Pandya family is something that probably runs as deep as Shiva’s need to get that kangan back to its rightful owner. Personally, I want to know more about Prafulla’s initial days at Pandya House. How did the family treat her when she was a new bride? What has she endured during those years? Not that this justifies her behavior with the kids or changes her nature. But it would be interesting to see how this all started.
Anyway I feel like this became about Maami but wanted to put my thoughts out there. Will comment on Shiva-Raavi hopefully after work. I have been commenting on other aspects of the episode but not so much this because it’s not easy to put into words.
