I finally got to know with surety what Leela's problem is.
"Kaun hai Paraya mard?"
"Vanraj Shah."
"Vanraj paraya hai?"
It wasn't a question. It was a rhetorical question.
As if she wanted Anupamaa to say, "Nahi, Baa. Mera wo matlab nahi tha."
In Leela's mind, Anupamaa is still Vanraj's slave, oops wife.
Anuj is Anupamaa's friend.
Vanraj is no one.
Still Leela wants her to behave as if Vanraj is still her husband and
Anuj is paraya mard🤪
And honestly speaking, isn't the term 'paraya mard' used when one has a 'mard' in her life?
Anupamaa is single. So no mard can be paraya because no mard is her apna.
Just like the term 'baharwali' can be used in this context, only if one has a 'gharwali.'
Isn't it 🤔
