That woman lacks basic manners and etiquettes. She is consistently disrespectful and rude. I have no idea what 'teachings' Anupamaa boasts about all the time- 'Baa yeh sikhati hain, Baa woh sikhati hain'. Because Baa never seems to practice what she has apparently preached. The way she spoke to Nandini in today's episode good Lord! And Anupamaa just stood there in silence. This girl is not just her beloved son's partner but she has given Anupamaa more respect and support than her own so called family has ever given her. And yet, here we are.
Baa also lacks empathy. That is obvious in her abuse towards Anupamaa but in all her conducts as well. Do you remember the way she questioned Anuj about his mother's demise in the Janmashtami episode? She is insensitive. No thought to anybody's suffering whatsoever until and unless it is about her son or herself. And we all know why she called Anupamaa 'beti' during and after the divorce. It wasn't because she was ashamed of what she had done or because she held Vanraj accountable for his infedility. She simply wanted to retain Anupamaa in that house otherwise saara kaam kaun karega?
Toshu was right about one of many things in his outburst- if Baa kept quiet, half of their problems would just vanish. Anupamaa has all the lectures in the world for everybody but none for Baa. Her uncivil nature is acceptable because she is the elderly. Everyone must mollycoddle her no matter what. Vanraj is a bad father but Anupamaa isn't a successful parent either. She has not only set a bad example for her daughter but also expects her daughter-in-laws to succumb to Baa's bullshit. I can't believe I am saying this but the chances of Vanraj redeeming himself seem far more realistic than Baa's. She has no self-awareness. Baa's ridiculous entitlement to everyone's respect even with her own lack of respect for others around her is Anupamaa's doing. She enables her toxic attitude. And she's truly pathetic for just that.
