Her intention of divorce was to just get rid of Vanraj as a husband. She as a wife doesn't want to answer him, stay with him, sleep with him. She couldn't tolerate his touch or him being called her husband. That's it. This is where it ends but with the rest of Shah family, she never had an intention to cut off herself completely from them because she has never lived outside the Shah family. Still she was trying after coming back from the resort but the very first chance babuji gave her to stay back, she took it because this what she wants-her family minus Vanraj the husband.
She never considered Shah family especially baa as toxic because had that been the case, she would have revolted even before knowing about Vanraj's affair but she didn't do it. She thinks this is how a saas is and she cannot be changed but this 26 years of her stay in sasuraal has taught her that whatever little unfulfilled expectations she had from her MIL, maybe her DILs will also have the same and that's why she tries to be supportive of her DILs.
Now with Anuj's entry, I hope she will slowly create a world outside the Shah family not necessarily to be with Anuj but for herself. I hope she learn this.
Anupama's case is like a bird who has been caged for a long time. Even if we let the bird free, it will choose cage instead of sky because cage is what it has known its whole life. It will take time to fly and will also come back to cage after every small flight but with time and after n number of flights, it will learn that sky is its true calling.
