Abhira’s desire for Kaveri’s approval is inversely proportional to her efforts to stay out of issues that are likely to rile the matriarch up..even assuming Kaveri accepts her atp, this will never turn into an abiding relationship because they are mismatched personalities..there was this old film called Khubsoorat with Rekha ..where she challenges the matriarch’s ways ..she too encourages the other family members to pursue their interests etc ..but at no point do you see her being rude or provocative in her behaviour …Abhira, in all this time, has done pretty much everything to piss Kaveri off ..I am not discounting all the good things Abhira has done ..but to counterbalance those, she’s done things like that swag se swagat, the shikanji scene etc which cannot termed as anything short of deliberately provocative …insisting on being treated with respect is one thing and making a spectacle out of it solely for the purpose of humiliating the opponent, knowing that they are at your mercy, is another …swag se swagat was nothing short of that and she only ended up getting humiliated in less than two or three days ..so what was the point of those five or ten minutes of glory ? No one is suggesting Abhira should be meek or a doormat ..everything doesn’t have to be extreme and I think Abhira needs to understand that ..where was the need to go and tell Kaveri she would shake the foundations of her firm ..a simple I’ll prove you wrong Ma’am or even I’ll make you eat your hat would’ve been okay ..now which family would be comfortable with their prospective Bahu saying that she’ll unsettle their firm …Abhira doesn’t think before she talks and she doesn’t acknowledge the possible impact the person she’s speaking to is likely to have on her life ..Kaveri doesn’t care whether Abhira marries Armaan..in fact she actively doesn’t want it ..so right now, Abhira is at Kaveri’s mercy if she wants her approval ..going forward, if they’re going to live in that house, she will continue to be at her mercy …forget Armaan, is Abhira even capable of accepting to live like that ..where she will have to bend to Kaveri on several occasions ..otherwise the home will become a battlefield and Armaan and she will still get into conflicts ..so this is not about whether they live with the Poddars or outside ..if Armaan is going to blame her for separating him from his family, he will likely blame her for causing conflict within the family too ..in the past too, he’s begged her not to get involved in other people’s affairs but as Abhira has stated, it is not in her resume to watch what she believes to be wrong unfolding ..like in the Charu case ..her judgment might be right on occasion but it could also be wrong on occasion ..she is not God ..
I really feel Abhira now needs to introspect.. and also stop making Armaan’s decision to leave just about herself ..she has seen that man putting up with shit and now, finally he wants to leave in his own interests and that of the family ..what needs to happen is a frank discussion on the pros and cons of the decision and how they would be able to handle the consequences as a couple going forward ..
Also one cannot impose their decision on the other ..Armaan has to respect Abhira’s choices and vice versa ..she cannot say things like she won’t let him do what he wishes to ..unless he’s planning a criminal activity that is ..if a man were to say the same thing, he’d be called a red flag ..it’s a good thing that women are not assigned flags lol
To me, despite all the syrupy sweet dialogues, the way ahead seems lined with stumbling blocks …leaving the family and living independently would be the most sensible choice to make at this point at least !
Let us please not bring Ruhi into this conversation..she’s inconsequential ..so also are Kaveri’s character flaws to this conversation ..because Abhira wants her and not the other way round !
