Cause I think sympathy is with Maaya especially after knowing her background and how she helped other women there and the trails she faced to get to her daughter. So she has to steep low for Anupamaa to gain sympathy (just my opinion)
Unfortunately, the way they are portraying MaaYaa is only gaining more sympathy for her and more hate for Deviji and her loyal sidekick. And yet, there are delusional folks in the fandom (see Twitter), jo abhi bhi iss couple ke and mahaan Deviji ke gungaan kar rahe hain.
As a woman of this century, I despise the way women are portrayed in this serial. For me, a strong woman is someone who takes a stand for herself and does NOT need a man to define her. Also, someone who does not hide behind traditions to justify wrongdoing of the so called elders. And, more importantly, someone who does not hide behind 50 page Bhashans when it comes to actually DOING something decisive. Basically, a woman of this century is NOT riddled with ‘Mahanta Syndrome’, like the titular character of this show.
