If UpMaaa was not around giving unnecessary gyaan and acting as if she knows better than anyone else, then may be Pari and Raja still would have had a few allies in Kothari mansion. Now UpMaaa has managed to piss off Parag too, who stood by Rahi and helped her whenever she needed. That woman is the biggest curse in all of their lives. Now she'll make sure to ruin Rahi's life once again in her ego battle with Vasundhara, who, unlike everyone else sees right through UpMaaa and Shahs manipulations.
@Bold 1: Every mother should stop babysitting her children once they hit adulthood. Emotional support is fine — but career counselling and life control? That’s where the umbilical cord needs to be cut. At 17, kids should decide what to study and which path to take.
But Madam Upmaa clearly missed that memo.
If she was so determined to keep babysitting her fully grown “kids” — Toshu, already married and permanently entitled; Samar, mature enough to be her emotional caretaker; and Pakhi, busy attending college and pretending to be wise — then why marry at all?
And not just anyone — she went ahead and married a business tycoon who had a college crush on her! The man built his empire brick by brick through strategy and sweat, and she brought emotional chaos wrapped in nostalgia. Add to that the second-marriage complication — Rahi / Aadhya / CA, the adopted daughter who needed full-time love, attention, and stability.
The irony? The big business tycoon actually deserved a better wife than Upmaa.
Someone who matched his vision, not someone who treated marriage like a group therapy session for her past. He didn’t marry a partner — he adopted an entire joint family circus.
And let’s not forget — she had already divorced Vanar before jumping into her second innings.
Tragic irony is, she still hasn’t learned to say “NO.” When Baa Bhagwan pleaded with her to stay back to “fix” Pari’s divorce mess and Ishaani’s affair with Raja, Madam Martyr (Upmaa) once again sacrificed her peace. Serving the same toxic Tamashah family that robbed her education and wrecked her second marriage — that’s not love, that’s a lifetime subscription to misery.
@Bold 2:
Pari and Raja should’ve never gotten married. Raja was a freeloading parasite living off Kothari wealth, and Pari — the jobless heiress — brought zero sense to the table. A disaster marriage made in pure delusion, blessed by family denial and emotional blackmail.
And while we’re listing epic blunders in the name of “pyaar” and “parivaar,” let’s not forget Prem and Rahi, and Prarthna and Ansh — marriages that should’ve stayed cancelled at the thought stage. When maturity takes a backseat and logic is left at home, what you get isn’t love — it’s a generational group project in poor decision-making.
Because apparently, repeating mistakes has become a family tradition — now officially passed down like hereditary self-sabotage.
@Bold 3:
Not just a curse — Upmaa is a full-blown walking disaster.
The woman didn’t just ruin her own life; she managed to turn it into a multi-generational syllabus on how not to live. Every wrong choice of hers has aged like fine tragedy — passed down from mother to child like unwanted heirlooms.
She calls it sacrifice.
The world calls it self-destruction with extra steps.
And the funniest part? She still lectures others about empowerment — while her own life looks like a never-ending rerun of bad decisions.
Because honestly, if your own life is a certified mess, how exactly are you planning to empower the generations that follow you?
By gifting them the same emotional baggage, wrapped neatly in “sanskaar”?
