So many have been saying Paridhi was immature to immediately pack to leave. And Aarti, the mature one, gave them good advice. And Aarti's decision and fight to stay has been juxtaposed with Paridhi's decision to leave.

I, on the other hand, do not blame Paridhi at all for packing. SP Scindia told her that she has no right to make decisions. That she will not go out of the house.

That was not what she was promised by Prateek. She came into the marriage with some expectations of freedom, mainly freedom to work. She may be bad in the kitchen and does various mistakes, but she has adjusted in many ways to the family.

But then she hears her father-in-law tell her he and only he has the right to make any and all decisions--including her own right and decision to work. He tells her that she should not step out of the house. He also said some outright chauvinistic, sexist and pig headed thoughts both in her presence and about her once she left his presence.

So, no, Paridhi was not wrong in packing.

Aarti's also wrong in her advice. SP Scindia did not relent because Yash reasoned with him. SP Scindia relented because he saw that everyone in the family was with Aarti and against him and his wife. He cares more about the family being together. He was also worried about the truth coming out some way or the other, which would make matters even worse.

What will make SP Scindia change his mind is the threat of the family breaking up. So now Prateek may try to convince him and reason with him. But what will make him relent will be when he realizes that it's this or a split in the family.

If the threat of Paridhi's leaving and the fear that Prateek too will leave soon were to come to SP Scindia's attention, he would think about 'allowing' Paridhi to work.

As for the difference between Paridhi and Aarti. Aarti too was willing to walk out and leave the marriage for her son when they wanted her to. She then decided to fight after Yash risked his life for her son. She fought against them and pleaded for her to stay, and made sly plans to make that happen. And now, she is holding strong because she's gotten what she wanted: staying in the house as Yash's wife, mother to Payal-Palak, daugher-in-law of the Scindias, etc.

Paridhi made sly manipulations to do what she wanted to do against their wishes: to work. And Paridhi also made her points to SP Scindia. Only to hear the pig-headed words coming from his mouth, taking away her freedom, her choice; insulting her because of her profession; telling her she should not step out of the house.

Thus she decided to leave--going against Scindia's wishes.

In both cases, both women are going against SP Scindia.

Yes, I know Prateek factors in here. Paridhi's also leaving Prateek. But truth is, Aarti's reasoning was wrong. She is gravely mistaken about why SP Scindia decided to let her stay on.

And just as a closing statement. Prateek was in no way wrong in the way he spoke to his father. He didn't raise his voice, but rather spoke the truth which needed to be said. Prateek, who saw all that happened around him and how his parents lied and didn't bother listening to anyone else. Prateek, who observed that when he spoke up for his sister-in-law, his father saw that his control was slowly losing grip and reiterated that he doesn't change his decisions.
