You can not know English, have an accent and still be intelligent/be a bookwork/eager for knowledge because there is simply no correlation between language and intellect. An explanation for her English pronunciation could be that she simply lost her eagerness to learn or educate herself after she stepped foot into the Shah house. The Shahs have a tendency to completely drain a person of their gist for life. Her kids never helped her learn either. Rather they would constantly put her down.
And yes, you are right. I think many, if not all, have an issue with her 'sori' not because of her accent but because she is unnecessarily apologetic. She does this is out of habit. And old habits die hard.
I 100% agree with the whole 'maa' theory. That is a bit too much. It is irritating if I am being honest. Especially how Anupamaa was in the whole Paakhi situation. Got on my nerves. But I don't see how that and this topic are related. I also don't know if I was able to properly convey what I have been trying to say. 😆
Maybe you are right about her eagerness to learn being quashed by the shahs. That would explain why she hasnt had any personal growth throughout the years. Soo maybe i got judgemental a bit too soon. Soo sorry for that 😅
No i do infact think that there is a certain correlation with people being eager to learn with the language they speak. I have seen a lottttt of people who are intellectually excellent trying to learn as many languages and cultures as possible in an effort to understand things from a different perspective. Also being equipped with proper language skills in your arsenal goes a long way in preparing you for the outside world.
The way i see her maa theory being connected to this topic is in the way that a normal educated woman knows her self worth and is sure of herself and her own individuality. Her entire being revolves around her identity as a mother. She keeps using "maa" as an excuse to justify all her illogical behavior and nonsense lectures. And that looks not only an over glorification of mothers but also looks like a deliberate attempt to show her more uneducated than she really is
Also you are perfectly clear with what you wanted to convey dont worry about it 😆
