I know alot of people will say that if she loved him, she would not have married Neev or put him in danger but her marriage to Neev for me symbolised that she was getting back from Prachi everything she was deprived of as a child and everything that Prachi got instead of her due to Inder, at that time, needing a way to compensate for her experiences during her childhood overcame her love for Milind, which I find natural as your identity is the most important thing to you and because of Inder, Ayesha lost that... And as for not giving a damn about Milind, especially during the riots...if she went to help him she would have just put him in further danger...having to save two damsels in distress...and though we may applaud Prachi for going to save Milind during the snow storm...concequently...just as Milind said...did she really help? or rather hinder
Rima, the fact of the matter is she had put her revenge plan ahead of her love for Milind which does'nt speak very highly of her love. As to her need for an identity what identity did she want, that of Mrs. Neev Shergill? I can understand all her other acts but her marriage to Neev to remove him from Prachi's life I really cannot. She could have married him off to someone else like how she got Alaap to marry Suyesha. Afterall he married her for his mother's sake after he thought Prachi has ditched him. His mother by the way was after money. She could have got someone to act like a millionaire and ask to marry Neev. Why should she herself marry him? How was she planning to get rid of him and marry Milsi? She seems to have cut her nose to spite her face.
It was not only during the riots Rima, there have been umpteen instances when her lack of concern for him and his family came through. Knowing how much he loved his sister and also the state of his father's health she encouraged Suki to elope. If she had trully loved him would she have done that? What would have happened if Baba had died? She even staged a kidnapping to let Baba know the 'truth' caring little for his health.
She very well knew how much Milsi loved Prachi and yet staged that dirty trick of Milsi catching Prachi in Neev's arms. When Neev questioned her about it what did she say? She does not mind giving up her love for fulfilling her other motives but she will not tolerate it if he becomes someone else's for it is her happiness that she cares about and no one else's. This shows the extent of her selfishness. I dont think it can be called love when you can take pleasure in the pain of your loved one.
For a person who is supposed to be blindly in love with her lover, she is very alert to save her own skin. When she went in search of Milsi after he fell off the cliff, she hurriedly retreated after the police came on site. Even then her first instinct was to save herself. She did not go back even later and instead assumed the worst. She was even willing to bury her dreams as was seen her symbolically burning that saree.
Her attitude towards Milsi shows that she is least concerned about his thoughts or feelings and more into her own. The guy wakes up from a dream and was about to tell her something. She shuts him up saying she knows he would have dreamt of her. He says he has a headache when asked why he did not have his breakfast and the girl is least bothered about it. Instead she is planning how to go about trying to get NP together. Her scant regard for him or his feelings makes it difficult to accept that she loves him.
