They are ALL living in an illusion and expecting too much.
Aadhya is living under the illusion that the only parent who stood by her when the (adoptive) mother first neglected, let her be abused by her pseudo Maykewale and then abandoned her will understand her trauma and come to terms with his own reality. She is hanging on to the hope of a normal, happy family and in her own way striving self-preservation only to be broken, eventually.
Shruti is living under the illusion that Anuj will eventually move on from the past and come to loving her. She is choosing to turn a blind eye to Anuj's obsessive love for Anupama. She is hanging on to straws that lay with the hope of building her family.
Anuj is living under the illusion that he ever mattered, matters in Anupama's life despite the crystal writing on the wall. He is hopeful of being loved back by the only love of his life and after coming infront of her after 5 years, he is willing to go to any lengths of self-destruction for the same.
Then as good parents, Anuj and Shrew should go to family therapy and work it out, not let Aadhya let loose on Anupama.
And Shrew needs to keep Aadhya and Anupama away from each other if Anupama is the trigger and a blight on Aadhya’s happiness. Shrew should not insist on pushing Anupama into every event of their life - no Anupama at the wedding, no catering, nada. But Shrew is selfish too and has her own agenda, she is trying to establish her position as Anuj’s wife.
As for Anuj, he too should keep Aadhya away from “Anu” even if it means he stays away from Anupama. Or if he is bent on healing mom and daughter then insist the two get help from joint therapy.
