Honestly Kanta was too late to do anyhing or have any impact. Primarily it was her fault only for marrying her young, not letting her study or socialise and even raised her to be submissive. As a parent she deprived her of life skills. Then Anupamaa started enjoying that subjugation and when Kanta really took a stand, by that time Anupamaa was too conditioned to break free... By hook or crook she wanted to be be berated by her masters. Worst she remained a slave for Shahs but became aggressive, stubborn, overconfident and uncompromising for the world.
One can say Kanta at least tried to change her ways, redeem herself, accepted her mistakes, challenged Shahs, genuinely hoped and tried that Anupamaa's second marriage worked. But her daughter, not even once reflected on her decisions... redemption or correcting her mistakes is a far off thing....
May be slapping her multiple times, like Kokila is doing above, could have brought Anupamaa out of the trance that Shahs and V had put her in. But that's the only thing she did not try... so...
Agree. That is also, perhaps why she only blames Vanraj-Kavya's betrayal for her life poblems (possibly blaming Kavya more) and not even recognises Leela's abuse and Hansmukh being a mute spectator.
Ironically, Onupama fought for a divorce, decided to stay in the same house with Vanraj and his new bride, even after divorce, saying, "Orat ki doli aati hn aur Arthi uthti hn"
