I agree that the show is depicting Anupama s journey differently. The shahs looked down on Anupama but the same Anupama is
Appreciated for who she is. The Tamashah family flounders when she leaves. They begin to realise her contribution. Ladla is unable to swallow the attention Anupama gets from a better looking accomplished, successful man. The reasons for Ladlas arrogance slowly begin to desert him.
He still thinks he can emotionally manipulate her. She however walks out denting his ego that a woman like Anupama will beg and cower.
Mukku asks Anuj to present as his face is a selling face. Anuj makes Anupama present right from the Bombay meeting.
All things Ladla denied Anupama comes her way. In the fire episode at school, she takes a stance for children's safety going against the Shahs.
When Ladla gets cold feet about his divorce, she stands firm that she will divorce and pay for her treatment.
She was ridiculed for not reading the papers and losing the house yet Ladla gets hoodwinked and makes Anupama and Dolly sign the papers. The so called educated/ worldly aware image of Ladla took a battering.
Anuj by saying it is not by speaking in English alone one gets proved to be smart.
Anupama learns car driving, operates her computer, sends messages on her own without the encouragement of Ladla who says they started the race together. She consistently proves that she is capable .
Kavya is unable to sustain Ladlas attention. Through each of her bashans to Ladla Anupama shows her metamorphosis. She has moved from being the timid anupama who shivered in front of Ladla to the Anupama who warns him not to misbehave.
Emotionally moving on is also a growth factor. Yes she does believes Ladla is capable of change and defends him. Yet when he acts in dubious ways she is the first to confront him. By stooping to his mean ways Vanraj has sunk deeper in the abyss. By the decision to stand up for the Kapadias she had moved ahead.
