So before I begin my post I want to firmly emphasize on the fact that this has nothing to do with the actors or bias towards a character. It's just me analyzing meera's character and giving you her viewpoint.
Meera was in love with Ani. She got pregnant after he died. She wanted to meet his family and discovers he already had a wife. The wife came to her and begged her to go to her house for 2 days .
The wife finds out. She verbally abuses Meera. Everyone in her botfriend's house found out about her pregnancy. After that , her boyfriend's father cried and pleaded to her to stay. She was reluctant for his wife. But now she is living there. , she tries to tell the wife but she never listens to her and tells at her. No one in the house likes her.
Question 1 : why is she keeping the baby ?
Answer : she loved Anirudh. And no matter how many mistakes he made it doesn't change the fact he died and this is the last thing remaining of him. She wants to be a mother , care for her child . Is that wrong ?
Question 2 : she can keep the baby but why is she living in this house despite all the abuse?
Answer : I don't like many of my family members but after my dad died I have to put up with them not because I like them simply because I think of my dad up there. She thinks she has no right to seperate the last thing remaining of ani's from his family. She is putting her baby first. Wouldn't her baby want to know who her father is ? Who her father's family are ? Any mother would do that
Question 3: why is she shoving this illegitimate child through everyone's throats?
Answer : this baby is only illegitimate because Anirudh didn't sign a paper with meera . But he was with her for 2 years , it was only the two of them loving each other and to meera this baby is not illegitimate. Who is the society to tag her baby ?
Question 4: what about nandini ?
Answer : should an innocent child be punished just because his or her dad didn't give public recognition to his mother ? This baby is anirudh's and they have equal or more rights than nandini as per law.
Emotionally : meera didn't intentionally do anything . Things worked out like that.
And we are not always at our best. Our brains are not always giving us rational judgements
