We really dont know what her story is to draw this conclusion that Narottam is an outcome or rather a tool for vengeance. Yes, right now, he seems the pawn in the game but the beginning is something which lacks clarity. Was Sudha thrown out after she had a kid or did Baldev dupe her with false promises only to leave with a kid or did Sudha use the kid angle to trap Baldev only for it to backfire or was LM her motive all along and did she seduce Baldev.. so on and so forth.All these possibilities lend different renditions of Narottam's existence. Sudha could have become matlabi later on and not necessarily at the onset. That way, personally, I do not see much of a difference between Satrupa and Sudha. Both are self centred and true to Anami's repartee to Satrupa today, she thinks of the impact any action has on herself/ her motives.. even if its through her kid.She has yet to think of those times she lost with Anami, have not made an iota of effort to understand what maketh Anami.. her hobbies, her passion, her past life in Benaras etc etc.. All her activities for Anami revolve around her getting groomed for LM and RS - to groom her to take the mantle of ownership.. Anami is not a person to Satrupa... atleast unlike Vatsalya..Thinking of Baldev here, the Casanova did interestingly end up with relationships with two strong women.. must say something of his choice!
I agree Sudha's story is still to unfold but her behaviour towards Narottam is unpardonable. No matter what her situation was she opted to take this path of destruction.
A mother no matter how bitter she is will always always try to do what's right for her child.
I won't compare Satrupa and Sudha because Satrupa as a mother to Vatsalya was loving, she did put the expectations of Lal mahal and the heir pressure on Vatsalya but we forget that Vatsalya didn't bother to rebel nor confide in his mother that his heart is not into this responsibility.
Narottam on the other hand has subtly unconsciously conveyed to Sudha his yearning for love.What does she do on hearing the boy's words? Feed him a piece of chilli, dragged him back into her world of bitterness and hate.
Baldev is one interesting character 😆 quiet a history he has. I'm eager to see his past life.
