i dont think megha can be called stupid

I agree, Megha is not at all stupid. Right now she is very vulnerable - to her family. We know that she invited this by choosing to pretend being Mrs. Bhatnagar to help Mohan arrive at a closure of his failed relationship with Rashmi.

After a shocking disclosure of this drama to her family, fear that her FIL, who admires her strength, her abilities shall be hurt, is giving her so much pain. Given her circumstances she has no other support system other than her family, her FIL and Jiji Bua being the only pillars for her moral support. Vyas House is the shelter to her and her kids. She has realized the drama (she started) is over. She may end up paying a very heavy price for all the drama.

She is yet to come to terms with the fact that she likes Mohan. Mohan is the only person in her life with whom she shares a bond, is able to get a piece of life, the joy of togetherness, of being on the same thought plane with him. And even this friendship, mutual trust is very new. She is not at all ready to accept anyone romantically in her life.

Her current life with Vyas Parivaar seems like a veil, she has adorned, being a conventional Indian bahu, out of her current circumstances of being a widowed beautiful young woman, mother of two kids. She has accepted that veil as her role for lifetime and has shut the doors for 'life'. But behind this veil is an empowered woman.

Empowered Medha is visible to us in her work life, the way she looks after her kids, the way she is ready to take the responsibility of her mistakes and on many other occasions in NBT. She is someone who is being assertive within the limits drawn by her family. She has chosen a role for herself and in this role there is no room for any man in her life. It is her conscious decision.

Yet, she initiates a drama of being Mrs. Bhatnagar, to help her dear friend Mohan. I see this act not to be a stupid one, but at best an unconscious gesture of her empowered self who wants to live life, find happiness, in togetherness, in little things in the world.

There are so many things we do consciously and there are few things we don't understand why we do them, but us not understanding doesn't always mean us not having any reason to do those things.

Our unknown, unexplored thoughts, our hidden realizations become our choices. We have tremendous ability to surprise ourselves. I think, Megha choosing to pretend to be Mohan's wife was one such hidden realization. She was not being stupid. She was only being un-synchronized with her innermost thoughts.

Mohan is clear that Megha is not ready for any romantic relationship. He is equally vulnerable for losing her as a friend, remember his words in the FH C2 ' 'Aapko khone ka dar aapko pane ki khushi se jyaadaa hai". Hence, I completely find it agreeable that he confessed about love first and then decided to pretend it to be an 'Act'.

Congratulations! to NBT team, for showing a beautifully woven quilt of socio-cultural and human relations through NBT. I love this serial. Watching Kunal Karan Kapoor and Ankansha is a great joy. They are both excellent actors, highly skilled and emotive, lovely.

Thanks for reading, this long post, Swati V.

wonderfully expressed...i was watching sum previous episodes & i realized d contrast between megha as Mrs bhatnagar & as Mrs vyas...wth mohan i feel she is in her true element...she isn't a dutiful DIL...a strict mother...or a widow living a closeted life...She is d girl whu married amar for love...whu had d independence of thought & action...wth dis drama we saw megha as any 28yr old girl...d problem is for each of her actions we kept reminding ourselves dat she is a widowed mother of 2...& justified her actions...But i loved her wen she showed d spunk..spontaneity...creativity..yes she let herself flow away with her desire 2 help mohan...but is it really soo rare 2 find girls going with dere emotions & forgetting 2 use logic..😉...megha just followed her heart...for once without being bound by all her societal roles/image...

👏👏...superr aspect...its her strength & empowerment dat released her from d conventional bondages & go dat extra mile for a friend...she might b blinded 2 mohan's love but not his pain of d past failed relation...mohan's closure was brought about only due 2 her..

wow!!!u just nailed it...@bold lines just sums it up...its not d feelings dont exist...its d lack of d psychological acceptance of d truth...d fear of d tsunami such an acceptance will bring about in her oderwise cseemingly settled life...

I know majority of people over here are pissed off or angry about mohans u turn but i still feel that was most logical thing to do and as far megha goes some are calling her stupid which i feel is harsh and perhaps denial is correct word to describe her state of mind as she was panic stricken as her drama was exposed and on top of that she was told of mohan feelings so obviously because of her life baggage and perhaps guilt towards amar and his family was making her act like this and also any person in serious crisis would bury their head in sand and believe what would be convenient to assuage ones heart and calm nerves so perhaps megha realisation scene would give logical answers

People are calling Megha dumb?! I don't visit this forum as much, so I missed that.

I thought Mohan's decision, as tough as it was, was a smart one and very heart breaking to watch.

Plus I don't buy that that Megha believed he was lying. She will never confront him about it because she has bigger things to worry about and it's not something one can easily bring up in a conversation.

People are upset by megha's dumbness not only because she can't see mohan's love but also due to her failure to detect Prateek's advances. However I feel she really believed Prateek & considered him as BIL...
But in mohan's case it was too much for her in one night... she was in a complete shock due to these revelations... so it was ok when mohan retreated from his words she believed him... but still she has every reason to believe what mohan said was true because she herself was affected by it.
