@bold: Word....I also always wondered why people were so quick to grant Malini all the "haqs" of badi behen without her ever actually showing any regard or responsibility as an actual sister.....matlab haq lene ke liye sabse pehle line mein aati thi yeh cuz it made her feel superior to call herself "badi behen" who can "scold" chhoti behen as she wants (scolding ke naam pe bhi all she did was put down Imlie).....but actual love/support karne mein ghantaa....bas faltu ki baatein aur dikhava bolne ko😵......
Meanwhile Aparna ne genuinely day one se Imlie ko beti maana tha without needing to jataao it as an ehsaan.....Malini never lost an opportunity to jataao how many "ehsaans" she's doing on Imlie by calling her a sister, or any little thing she did for Imlie.....lol jo ki waise bhi bas dikhaave hi the....lekin itne mein hi sab log ready to give medals to Malini ji....dusro ko kya bolein jab Imlie ko hi khud is maamle mein kam akkal hai.....even now she can talk about Malini ki giri hui harkatein in one breath and simultaneously try to claim her as "achhi" in the next😕😆
Agree with your point about how they really took Aparna-Imlie ka equation as saas-bahu through a lot of layers too to strengthen it all the more into what it's becoming now after going through that trial by fire......we are seeing an evolved Aparna too who has discovered a different depth in her faith and understanding of Imlie now.
So agree with you both then kya expect karns iss aurat se jisko bhagwan bhi sirf apne matlab ke liye yaad aata hai and she pretends to be a BFF with devi maa too when she needs something to copy imlie and mostly is yelling at bhagwan too
She never ever have thought of imlie as koi bhi rishta isko bas yell karne ke liye naam dena hai this is the woman for all her haq dilane ka claim did not even have ever talked about their dad situation bhi asram se caz why should they.. so much for badi behan ka title when she hasn't ever discussed anything and then too her priority was to show imlie her aukaat and bharo zehar in minds of T's ke iska darja ab mere jitna equal ho jaayega since she is not najaayaz anymore yikes
