Koki's treatment of Parag is different from Kinjal's treament of Dhawal. Firstly, Koki shuns (used to, I think) Parag's inability to be the breadwinner for her family. Kinjal, on the other hand, shuns Dhawal without reason. She might have seen Koki voice her disappointments to Parag, but that still doesn't give her the go-ahead to do the same to Dhawal. Such modelling behavior and "imitation" (in Kinjal's POV) doesn't fit her cause. Sure, she's disappointed at her "punishment" of being married to man she thinks ill-suited to her standards, but that was her choice. Although I agree that she shouldn't be punished for one mistake for the rest of her life, Kinjal's the one who thinks that it's a punishment. No one, but she, is saying it.
I also understand that because Kinjal is from an upper-class family that she needs time to adjust. However, this public tussle of words (in today's episode) happened almost a year after their marriage. There should be no reason for Kinjal to stall her adjustment at the Shah House. She should have been halfway there (or completely adjusted), in my opinion. How much more time does she need?
Now, let's return back to Koki once again. I think that she was right to try to make Kinjal understand. My mother would have done the same. The bigger picture, after all, is to fix KinWal's marriage. It's not about what Kinjal did (although it might help) and not about what Dhawal did, but it is about the marriage that
must work.
This was a lovely discussion and I'm glad to see everyone pitching in. 😃
