Nehmat's situation is kinda tough. I get her silence though because she is unable to reconcile with many things.
First thing first, unlike Tejo she has gone through a massive heartbreak. The fact that she isn't lashing out like Fateh speaks a lot about Tejo's influence in her.
Second, she somewhere considers herself responsible for the mess. She knows she has been loyal but then again, she was the one in those pics. She knows that's why Mallika and Ekam feel betrayed. She is hurt but circumstances have made her party to the situation Advait Ekam and Mallika are in.
Thirdly she is at uneven ground with Advait. For all she knows, Advait probably loved Mallika. She feels bad about it too. Her trying to give him sorted replies ans letting him vent without saying anything highlights that she thinks him to be a victim of the forced marriage too. Let's face it, only the audience knows about his Kands. For Nehmat, he is a good person.
Lastly it is Naaz. Her sister tried to kill herself. Nehmat would not want anything to jeopardize her sister's fate. She would do anything for Naaz's happiness and if it meant turning a deaf ear to some taunts so be it.
All these factors + the fact that Kapoors are an unfamiliar ground where she already knows they are not fond of her give the basis of her quiet receptivity.
However that doesn't mean she is a doormat. Like Advait's uncle told her not to be a furniture; Nehmat would soon return to her form - the real Nehmat who has been lost for some time.
And the uncle's words are prophetic - one day everyone will be glad she married into the family and that is the absolute truth.
Because Nehmat is the salvation of those in the family innocent of the murders. And it is Nehmat's fate that has brought her so close to the existence of the criminal who killed her parents so that justice isn't far away.
