Anita Kashyap - Sadly the most disappointing character of the show! - Page 2

So finally guys we know the truth! I am glad cvs kept it simple. A very well-etched out and quite a believable scenario. And I even don't see a family angle here. Even if Monu wasnt Kabirs nephew but any random kid, I would always want Kabir to save the kid and abandon the case. To sacrifice the life of a kid for a person who would never come back to life can be a stupid thing to do. By writing that article and getting one of the goons arrested Kabir already did his best for Mr. Kashyap. And if he would have went to do more what all he would have been left with was probably three dead people in his house or a set of parents mourning the death of their kid. How can anybody do this? That too for a stranger? No one can...not even us. Rather after knowing the truth I feel so proud of Mr. Sharma and his love! 😳 And I am sure this time he will finally get justice for Mr. Kashyap and prove to Ananya that he is still the same Kabir whom she hero-worshiped for being her father's guardian angel.

Anyways coming to my post, I know guys she is real but sadly she is the most disappointing character in this show. Yes I am talking about THE MRS ANITA KASHYAP!! In a world where we are embracing the idea of strength of womanhood Anita comes across as the biggest weak link in Ananya's life. And I have felt this not just in these days but from always, specifically from the day when Ananya had lost her job and what all Anita worried for was how the expenses of the family will be taken care of. There are a few questions I wish someone could answer about Mrs. Kashyap and hence make me understand that why she is so highly or why her opinion is so important in anything?

1) Why didn't she ever work or became independent? - I mean its not bad to depend on your daughter for meeting the expenses of the family but for a woman whose husband was missing since 8 years and who had two kids to take care of, I would have loved to see her as an independent woman who had her own share of struggles in making her kids what they are today. Only then all her taunts or this attitude would have been of any meaning.

2) Why didn't she go behind Sudhir's truth? - Afterall she was the wife! Kabir was a stranger still he did so much for Mr. Kashyap. Because of his article Sudhir was given the benefit of doubt and bailed out, basically his case got a new lease of life in his favor only because of Kabir. It was because of Kabir that one of the murderers was caught by police. But what exactly did Mrs Kashyap do to prove Sudhir innocent? What exactly did she do to find about his whereabouts? Just send her daughter to become a journo and find out the truth? That too in a city like Delhi. And she even expects Ananya would come out unscathed out of this mess WOW! 😆

3) How could she expect Ananya to chase Sudhir's murders now? - I mean we are debating over whether Kabir was right to hide the truth from Ananya or not despite the fact that he did it for Ananya's safety only but no one questions this woman's idea of encouraging her daughter to go and chase those culprits who actually murdered her father 8 years ago!! Sorry but this is not a motherly emotion...period! No explanations needed. Any mother would explain her daughter (atleast for formality sake) to not pursue such a dangerous case as what all they will get by digging up buried skeletons now? The people who had the power to kill her dad just imagine what all they can do to Ananya??? Something that can leave her battered for life. Something even worse than death!! But the woman actually had the audacity to ask her daughter that would she go against her fiancee in proving her dead father innocent. So basically at this moment Ananya's safety, her feelings, her marriage, her future, her whole life can go to hell in front of proving Mr. Kashyap innocent - The same Mr. Kashyap about whom Anita would easily believe that he is missing or dead as and when a new person informed her about this and even accept it and happily move on 😆

4) How could she not see through her daughter's pain? - I mean not even for a second did she hug Ananya and try to console her. Dude her engagement got broken? She is shattered and what all you ask is this shit?? Not even once Anita tried to explain to Ananya that atleast listen to Kabir once and hear his side of the story. It took her no time to break her daughter's alliance with a man who actually was ready to sacrifice his life for her daughter. Who saved her son from a drug case and who was the only one who actually cared to support her husband at one point. She called him a coward and threw the ring at him. Is it so easy to see your daughter's marriage getting broken? Is it so easy to endanger your daughter's life like this without yourself doing anything or taking any risk. If a kid like Armaan can understand that Kabir should be given a chance to explain himself, why cant a woman who has seen so many adversities in life???

I am sorry to say but Anita comes across as a highly selfish and delusional person to me. Apart from these in past she did many other mistakes too - She never tried to know the full truth from Kabir and allowed KaYa to carry on with their relationship without knowing why Kabir got divorced...a mom can never do this!!

She always kept her children in dark about Sudhir's suicide story. I wish she had told it to Ananya atleast when she decided to become a journo...kam se kam Ananya wont have lived in the impression that her dad is missing. Knowing about the suicide could have helped Ananya go a step closer to her dads truth. I must say Ananya needs to marry Mr. Sharma asap...she is very unsafe in the Kashyap house.

Very true. I've posted something similar in the other thread.

Reposting the same here, since this post also echoes the same sentiment. Sorry for the repetition.

Yes, Anita's character has been portrayed like a pendulum.

First Kabir discloses his love for her daughter, she is
upset. Then she calls Kabir, talks to him and swings to the other side, accepts
him.

Next when Shreya tells her twisted story, she goes back to
the other side. Don't know what happened, how Kabir manaoed her, suddenly she swings
to the other side and accepts him.

Now she comes to know that Kabir has hidden a truth, she
swings back to this side. Insults him verbally and throws the ring at his face.
Absolute misbehavior.

I'm sure once she comes to now the background she will swing
back to the other side. Isn't it shameless?

Understood she is a human and a mother. I don't expect her
to accept Kabir instantly after knowing the fact that he has been lying.

Understood Ananya is young and implusive.

Understood that its Kabir's fault.

Understood that every character is flawed and real.

But as someone rightly said, the story is flawed here.

Given that in the first 2 instances, she was not fully
convinced and she agreed only for her daughter's happiness. But in the human
bomb incident, she was projected as if her eyes have opened and she was fully
convinced and accepted Kabir completely. She even apologises to Ananya for
doubting Kabir after human bomb incident.

Now again swinging back to the other extreme?

A matured lady who saw with her own eyes, how a man risked
his own life for her daughter, isn't she atleast expected to think that there
must be something serious why Kabir has behaved so? Even in the forum everyone
expected her to give the benefit of doubt to Kabir and make Ananya see some reason this time.

Please don't tell me that this time it involves her husband
and it's a normal reaction. If we go on justifying every act as a normal human reaction,
then we are in a denial mode. We'll never learn. Life gives everyone
opportunity to learn and move forward. Not move backward. There's a flaw in characterization
here.

#Reporters for some reason is deviating from its course,
I feel. May be the channel is not supporting their ideas. And they are forced
to become mundane. If that's so, then it's a sad scenerio for Indian
television. We, different audience, will never get to see what we legitimately want.

Cant agree more with you on this point. Anyone at Kabir's place would have done the same things. in fact, in one of the earlier episodes, Ananya teamed up with Kabir to get a Green Corridor for a child in peak traffic hours just to save his life in LPG blast case. So didnt Ananya do the same? At that time, did she think of anyone else? For that matter, there were other people also who were injured and dying but Ananya rushed for the child. That itself explains Kabir's stand.

Anyways coming to my post, I know guys she is real but sadly she is the most disappointing character in this show. Yes I am talking about THE MRS ANITA KASHYAP!! In a world where we are embracing the idea of strength of womanhood Anita comes across as the biggest weak link in Ananya's life.

Only then all her taunts or this attitude would have been of any meaning.

I again agree with you. The lady speaks English, wear Salwar Kameezes, goes to parlour daily to cut her hair. But, she cant go out to work. There is not even a single mention of her being working in the past for a day. It seems that after SK died, in the first few years, they depended on the savings left by him and then Ananya started earning. there is no doubt that they dont have any amount left in the bank since, when Ananya leaves the job in the initial episodes, Anita immediately gets worried about expenses which means they are practically bankrupt.

2) Why didn't she go behind Sudhir's truth? - Afterall she was the wife! Kabir was a stranger still he did so much for Mr. Kashyap. Because of his article Sudhir was given the benefit of doubt and bailed out, basically his case got a new lease of life in his favor only because of Kabir. It was because of Kabir that one of the murderers was caught by police. But what exactly did Mrs Kashyap do to prove Sudhir innocent? What exactly did she do to find about his whereabouts?

Hey Malika dear, you are forgetting a big thing here, Mrs. Kashyap stayed in betrayal that her worthy husband is still alive for 8 long years. After all living in a world of Utopia is also a big thing hai na? she is a true representation of Bharteeya Naari, samjha karo yaar

3) How could she expect Ananya to chase Sudhir's murders now? - I mean we are debating over whether Kabir was right to hide the truth from Ananya or not despite the fact that he did it for Ananya's safety only but no one questions this woman's idea of encouraging her daughter to go and chase those culprits who actually murdered her father 8 years ago!! Sorry but this is not a motherly emotion...period! No explanations needed.

See Malika, you must understand one thing, whether Kabir promised it to SK or not, but saving Ananya's life everytime is his responsibility, not the responsibility of Anita. If at all, this was the responsibility of Anita, at first place, she would not have allowed Ananya to become a journalist and try to find out about SK. I am also a single mother and I have a son , yet, I will not want him to choose any profession which might put him in danger, in future. But Anita Kashyap is a very heroic mother. Not only she allowed Ananya but she doesnt mind her staying out late nights. She had serious problems with Kabir yet, she allowed him to take her daughter for a dinner date without even thinking for a second that Kabir can easily take good advantage of the opportunity she is gifting herself to him. Till now, we have seen Kabir saving Ananya' s life for at least 3 times but this lady gives a damn to it and conveniently forgets whenever she finds that Kabir is not dancing on her tunes. A true mother will never do that, no matter, how much hurt she gets from that person, at least she will maintain the basic decorum and respect for that person who has saved the life of her child not just once but for 3 times.

4) How could she not see through her daughter's pain? - I mean not even for a second did she hug Ananya and try to console her. Dude her engagement got broken? She is shattered and what all you ask is this shit?? Not even once Anita tried to explain to Ananya that atleast listen to Kabir once and hear his side of the story. It took her no time to break her daughter's alliance with a man who actually was ready to sacrifice his life for her daughter.

If a kid like Armaan can understand that Kabir should be given a chance to explain himself, why cant a woman who has seen so many adversities in life???

You said it yourself in the next paragraph that she is the most selfish woman. I would simply like to add only one thing - I find her a second version of Shreya. Like Shreya, this woman also is not in her senses, she is shown at least 40 + yet, at this age, she behaves worst than a child. We can easily guess from where Ananya has got all that stubbornness and childishness. Poor Kabir, not only he has to tolerate Ananya's immaturity but also of his MIL who is at least ten times more crazy than Ananya.

I am sorry to say but Anita comes across as a highly selfish and delusional person to me. Apart from these in past she did many other mistakes too - She never tried to know the full truth from Kabir and allowed KaYa to carry on with their relationship without knowing why Kabir got divorced...a mom can never do this!!

She always kept her children in dark about Sudhir's suicide story. I wish she had told it to Ananya atleast when she decided to become a journo...kam se kam Ananya wont have lived in the impression that her dad is missing. Knowing about the suicide could have helped Ananya go a step closer to her dads truth. I must say Ananya needs to marry Mr. Sharma asap...she is very unsafe in the Kashyap house.

You are absolutely right, CVs have terribly failed in depicted Anita's character. In fact, I even told this clearly to Sammeer Arora after I saw the reaction of Anita post Kabir's confession. I found it very childish of her believing Shreya so I blurted out my dislike for her to Mr. Arora, but unfortunately, I got a very bad in fact egoistic reply from him, saying he doesnt care about the feelings of the people and his characters are always perfect. Then, I contacted Rajeev also, as expected, he was very polite but he expressed his inability to discuss about the characters of others to the CVs, quite a valid point, hence, I had to leave it. But I again must tell you that like you, even I am very much disappointed with her character specially throwing ring and pushing, etc were way too much. If I had been at Kabir's place, seriously, I would have manipulated each and every thing to get Ananya back and after getting her back, simply would have put condition to choose either me or her mother. This woman didnt even think what face she would show to Kabir if he comes out clean...
