After deeply thinking for a while and reading Smitha's comment on her missing shoelace... I finally got the enlightment I have been longing for... I realized we have been wrong all along... The villain... The thorn... The main hurdle in Anupama's 'journey' isn't Anuj or Vanraj or Baa or Barkha or Adhik or her kids... It's this
The slipper of course...
See, without the slipper, she wouldn't have lost it and met the abuser Anooj
Without the slipper, she wouldn't have gone to his ophees
Without the slipper, she wouldn't have asked him to come to her house after handing everything over to Mukku
Without the slipper she wouldn't have left SH after her bidaai
Again during the honeymoon, Anooj actually put the slipper on CAs feet transferring her rights to the girl and made her insecure
Yes if the slipper hadn't been invented, Anupamaa would have had a happy life serving the Shahs forever. So now that she has let go of the slipper and is walking barefoot, the final hurdle in her journey is gone. From now on we will get to see Anupama's great journey. It would be empowering for sure
Slipper nahi hai
Par ab bhi beti
Ab bhi maa
Anupamaa ooooo Anupamaaaaa
