I was wrong about Mandira. I had stated that she is more Inder and less Indira at the begining of the trial.

But I am really impressed by her courage, all the more because she has been a weak character and does not have a strong ethical backbone like Indira.

Today I bow to her courage.

She could have taken the easy route and hidden her mistakes. Although she did not tell Indira about her first night with Sam, when it came out, she did not hide the truth and told it all, warts and all, including her idea of trapping Rishi. She could have created immense trouble for Rishi by implying that he had been flirting with her, but she did not. she told plain, unvarnished truth. I will forgive her for not fessing up to her blackmail of Sameer.

I was also amazed by her contrition. For the first time we saw how much she relied upon her didi's strength, and how much she respected her.


Most of all, in the courtroom, she could have accepted proposal for marriage. Her previous immature self probably would have accepted the proposal. But the new Mandira did not. Absolutely love her for that.

Gargi has done a very good job portraying a traumatized woman. Would like to give an applause to her👏

Completely agree with you.

Mandira ,as we understand now was just a teenager who was highly influenced by her money minded and self centered family and always was looking for an easy way out.
The trauma she went through surely shook her out of her perceptions towards life, in a way just like Vidith's accidenent shook Rishi out of his wayward life.

I was more surprised when she came out honestly with her mistake of the one night stand
infront of Indira and Rishi than when she slapped Sameer..It needs lot of courage and guts
to admit the mistake in her situation infront of the only people who stood with her.Neither the
fear of going down in their eyes nor loosing the only support made her weak.

Mandira,the charecter truely arrived and iam sure there is no looking back for her.

Gargi's portrail is indeed commendable.Also loved the pride in Vidith bhaiyya's eyes
(for his little sister) when Mandira slapped Sameer .Great actor. Would love to see him more.

Mandira seems to have learnt from her mistakes! i was thankful to her when she didnt lie about ever loving rishi...or rishi misleading her when the truth of her one night stand came out. just glad she spared us all that crap. also, in yesterdays episode not only did she slap away sams offer of marriage but even better was that she wasnt even tempted to accept it for even a moment! it would be really nice if mandira has changed for the better & forever!

And ofocurse Gargi has done a wonderful job in this whole track. the haunted & injured look she had about her seemed very real.

im not too surprised that she refused sam s marriage offer in the court- after having been at the recieving end of sam s ...violent behavior it would have scared her to daeth to be with him again. even if she would have become a diwaan bahu.

but what has been actually nice is her not insinuating rishi in the one night stand, her realisation that her sister would be hurt by that and she wouldnt want to hurt her sister. thats nice and hope it stays

it would have been better if she had also confessed to trying to blackmail sameer
