I know this is known from so long but like it just hit me today while watching the show. We keep on saying Poppy and Matashree that I forgot whose blood is actually in her. I'm actually so sad after realizing this. Neil was such a sweetheart and he got through his trauma of his dad so well. I guess it comes with having a loving mom like Manjiri and supportive brother like Abhimanyu. I'm sure if Ruhi had these relationships in her life, she would've been so much better off and would not have been like this. She had the worst people to raise her. The Birlas kept the Neil in her alive. Goenkas ruined her.
Knowing that she's Neil's baby just breaks my heart for her now at this point... really shows how life trajectories can shift the entire outlook of your life.
