I might be disappointed in so many ways with Bondita but her unwavering devotion towards Anirudh is 🔥
She is Markandeya to Anirudh's Shiva.
Markandeya was born due to Lord Shiva's boon to his parents and was destined to die at the age of 16, he grew up being one of the greatest devotees of Lord Shiva. When the time of his death neared, he believed that Lord Shiva, the one who gave him life would never give him death.
So, he built a shivaling and prayed day and night, he gave up everything to get his prayers answered by his lord. When Lord Yama came to collect his soul, he shouted at him to stop his bhajan and prayers to Lord Shiva, he threw a noose around his neck but Markandeya clung to the shivaling like a child clings to his mother.
He put his faith and future in the hands of the one who gave him life.
When Lord Yama readied to forcefully kick the child away from Lord Shiva, the shivaling burst open and Lord Shiva emerged to protect Markandeya from Lord Yama. 
Such was the tale of devotion and faith.
No matter how dark and bleak Markandeya's life seemed at the very last moments at the hands of Lord Yama, his unwavering belief in Lord Shiva forced the god to emerge from his pensive state and protect him.
Bondita's unconditional and unwavering belief in Anirudh will move mountains, she is his most ardent devotee who will accept anything he gives her - be it poison or amrit.
