Hey !!! @Niklaus Welcome ! Yeah, this thread and its writers and their right ups are so interesting to read. I myself had chosen to be a silent spectator , until it got so exciting that I couldn't help but join in.😆😆
Indeed, @Deejagi Even I was wondering yesterday, why he was calling her a snake, when seconds ago he was going to give her a fair chance at taking over the reigns of Royal Steel and LM. Then it got me thinking, saanp ko doodh diya ? While Anami has been reckless, stubborn, defiant and everything - she has never been the one to be cunning. Never the one to have two sides. In fact, she couldn't be more the opposite. Very transparent, very blunt.
Even in the flashback, we see a rawness to Satrupa - some innocence still glistening in those eyes, utter fear, clutching her womb protectively glancing at Sudha. We all know that while her upbringing has definitely played a role - you cannot ignore genetics, and Anami's righteous nature definitely comes from her mother. So a young Satrupa, betrayed at the marriage hall - would have definitely sympathised; if not empathised with a similarly betrayed Sudha. Maybe something disastrous stemmed from that - something which scarred Satrupa's mind so disastrously against this woman - as can be seen from the vehement and sudden uncontrollable anger splayed at Anami, herself - who she realized aided in bringing this bane to LM.
Often I feel that whenever Satrupa tells Narottam "Hum tumhari choti maa nahin hai !" There is a sort of rage that erupts within her - maybe associated with memories of a younger Narottam calling her the same ; before he turned the tables around his "Choti Maa".
Anami has somehow perfectly connected with Sudha's sob-story. She empathises with the feeling of abandonment akin to them. The betrayal. LM washed their hands off both of them. Under what circumstances doesn't matter to her. Didn't matter under what circumstances they left her - doesn't care for Sudha's as well. All she knows is that - they were selfish. So she will do whatever is in her power to give her that "Haq".
What she does not realize is the dire consequences of this step of hers. Sudha wasn't left behind with regret. Not over helplessness. She was chosen to.
She questions Satrupa on what right she has to abandon Sudha. And some audience wonder what right Anami has to bring people to Lal Mahal. Both questions, correct on their own part.
Anami doesn't have the right to bring people to LM. Satrupa doesn't have the capacity to abandon Sudha. We are able to sympathize more with Satrupa - because we all have a loving mother, whose anguish puts us into depths of sadness. Hence why we are frustrated at Anami to not listen to a single word from her.
But Anami. Someone listen to a toddler's heart. 17 years of emptiness. Of a hopeless feeling - did they not even consider her worth an explanation ? A visit ? FIne, ok. Then what right do you have, to walk up to my home and threaten those people who are more than parents to me? To blackmail me ?
If you can do that. I can do anything. I will live by my principles. If anybody is wronged in my territory, they will be fought for. That's all. As simple as that. For Anami to realize her blunder - she needs to mature. She needs to understand helplessness. Betrayal, in more severe terms. She needs to understand Blackmail. She needs to understand the fine thread connecting relationships -so tangled, one doesn't know where to start and where to end. She needs to broaden her thinking beyond the simplicity and straightforwardness of Banaras. And there are people to guide her.
Right now she is like Abhimanyu. With half knowledge, dangerous than ever. With the belief that she can break into this web. And she has, Plunged rigt into the middle. But how will she come out of it, safe and unharmed ?
