Gopi never asked about her parents before??

but who said she needed to ask urmi?? She is real attached to her mama... I am sure they talked n bonded... I find it hard to believe that at the age if like 23-24 she still doesn't know?? N harry potter was a bit different... It was related to a secret vs here which is a fact... When and how her parents died. There is no deadly secret behind her parents or mamaji would never even allow her to keep picture of her parents. I think its dumb... Well I hope Rashi continues to regret what she said... I have a word or two for here which I can't post... Darn! 😡

No yaar, you're only looking at it from the ambience you're familiar with.

In some family atmospheres it is very possible not to know, not to ask. My cousins are like that - they lost their mother very young and father married again. Somehow it became taboo to talk of their mother and they didn't know anything about her. They were really wanting to know more about her, how she was, etc but were so scared to ask.

It is very possible if you look at it in context.

Gopi wouldn't have asked about the death specifically as it's a morbid discussion, and she is very much still a child and everyone around her thinks of her as such, even Mahma (Jithu), as a result, she would not have been told this or she would never ask to be told this (the specifics, parents died in what circumstances and dates of when they died it's a mobid discussion).

Also look at Gopi's character, don't you think she blames herself for everything? Aham sleeps late, it's my fault, Aham shouts at her decorating the room, it's my fault, Aham slaps her and tells her you never told me you were unperdh (illiterate), she tells Hetal the day after I'm a liar even though her response should have been to be upset with Aham for doing this to her and keep on saying again and again to anyone that would listen to her that I told him before marriage on such and such a day (he was not listening but thinking of Anita)...So I think her character takes the blame even though it's not her fault. Similarly with now with Rashi, Rashi told her this on her birthday and she puts her feelings of happiness aside to feel she was at fault for her parents, who died in a car accident, it's irrelevant on what day they died really, it should not keep on impacting on the one's that are living.

They is a word for Gopi in this instance it's called self effacing tending to make her actions appear inconspicuous because of humility, timidity and modesty.
