Manjari: I totally agree that whatever Manjari’s did was wrong and does not justify the pain/suffering that neil went through for all these years. But I was just trying to think from her POV:
Scenario 1: Manjari would have revealed the truth about Neil’s identity as soon as she knew about it. At the time, Abhi and all the Birlas kids would have been too young to understand anything. Who’s to say that harsh wouldn’t just have beaten her up for accusing him of EMA and would not have thrown her out of the Birla house like he tried to do today? Would harsh have accepted neil? Would she have had Anand’s or mahima’s support? (I doubt Manjari expected them to give her any supportive since even I was surprised today by their reaction)
Result would have been- no support from anyone. Broken marriage. Most likely, harsh would have found a way to take abhi away from her. If harsh got abhi, he (abhi) would have been raised to believe all lies fed by harsh about Manjari. By any chance if she got abhi, then he would not have had the Birla background advantage, no mentor in form of tauji, no family. Abhi would have suffered most here along with Manjari due to harsh’s EMA.
Scenario 2: Manjari revealed the truth once abhi and neil were of age to understand and face the bitter reality. She could have done this, but I guess over the years everyone/ everything was settled well and she didn’t want to rile any feathers by bringing this up again.
Result would have been similar to the situation that they have on hand today. Neil would be hurt the most and everyone else too will be upset with harsh and herself for keeping a secret as big hidden from the whole family.
Manjari’s decision: whichever scenario Manjari would have chosen, she was always going to hurt someone or the other. So she chose herself, her marriage, her abhi and her family. Yes that makes her selfish but that makes her human too. But she was not heartless. She felt bad for the baby that got stuck in this mess of EMA with no fault of his. She was visiting the baby at anath ashram because she felt sympathy for him. She wanted to give love to that baby but it was not her decision to adopt neil, abhi did that and she went along with it and she did the one thing that she could do. She gave him love and care and tried to be the mother that he never had. But she could not give him family name or status.
Let’s not forget that Manjari herself is a victim of abuse. If she had the strength in her, she could have stood up for herself and all the injustices done to her by harsh. When she cannot even fight for herself, how can we expect her to stand up for Neil’s rights? Even then, she has time and again protected neil from Harsh’s anger and violence. Be it today when harsh tried beating neil with belt or be it that day when harsh tried sending neil off to sitapur for some project and Manjari called abhi under some pretext to prevent that from happening. She is kaand mata, she is wrong, but at the end of the day, she is still better than HAM and arohi for me.
Again, this is not me justifying her actions (don’t come after me with 🧹)- I am with agreeing with everyone that she is wrong here. But what I am just trying to see things from her POV as well.
Manjari and neil: Manjari may have done right by the baby that was abandoned by his parents and given him love and all but she did wrong by Neil by denying him family name, fathers name and rights.
Manjari and akshara: whoa!!! I don’t even know where to start. The one person that Manjari should be blaming for this mess (apart from herself) is Harsh. But she won’t do that. She ignores his unfaithfulness, his EMA, his pig like behavior to his son neil, his disrespect for his wife and goes and blames Akshara. And for what, for not keeping a secret?!!! Are you kidding me Manjari?? First of all, it’s not akshu’s secret to keep. If you are bold enough to do a kaand and be smart enough to know how to keep your own secrets from leaking. Secondly, you still think that this secret could have been contained once the report was processed? Let’s say the report could have landed in the hands of mahima or harsh or abhi, would you have blamed them too like you are blaming poor akshara who has absolutely nothing to do it with this whole thing to begin with??? Thirdly, you are angry at akshara because she ousted your se
cret but you are not hurt for the hurt
Agree with u... At least one person thinking from manjiri pov... Need actually a very big heart to accept a child from husband's EMA..no one in the home should believe her if she said that before... Today Anand spoke this much years what he was doing while Harsh abusing her... Her own sister Mahima laugh all the time when Harsh behaves badly with her... What she will do... Neil u should question Mr. Harsh and Manjiri... Neil should question her own real mother for leaving him in orphanage not Manjiri... U should question Harsh... This seems rude but truth is u can't be Abhimanyu Neil... OK get ready for another Arohi - Neil... He is going to become jealous of Abhimanyu sure... Makers made him perfect for Arohi... I thought at least Neil will hug Abhimanyu saying we are really brothers u r mine.... no this didn't happen... Sorry Abhimanyu.... Coming to Akshara - Manjiri blaming Akshara was wrong this is because of misunderstanding... But will Akshara say that Arohi did this after finding the truth to Abhimanyu... I am she won't instead she will defend Arohi like she did in accident case... Just my pov..... Coming to Abhira that bond can't be broke... They are strong... ABHIRA complete each other... No storm can break them... ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
