Oral abuse and probably torture creates an atmosphere of worry and paranoia. Not an excuse for hiding 8 years but I tend to see Gopi as a victim with severe mental stress here..
Now we also know that Ahem and Koki have the right to be angry for hiding Vidya .
I would have respected their anger more if they had not kept blaming Gopi even after 8 years for Meera's disappearance..
She has lived with Urmila and encountered oral abuse even before she met Kokila and Ahem .Oral abuse , as i see it , cannot be the excuse for hiding such a serious fact . Forget the unfairness to Ahem , see how unfair it is on the child ...for her to grow up without a father and to ask questions all her life .
I feel it is simply a case of being thoughtless in fright and guilt . She never gave it deep thought . She is not a bad person , not in her wildest dreams did she want to be unfair to Ahem or Vidya . She just did not give it much thought .
I agree totally with u about respecting the Modi anger more if they had not blamed her unfairly all the time for Meera's mishap . That clouds the seriousness of Gopi's deeds . Still don't know why she did not take even her mother in confidence .
She blames Radha for trying to take away Ahemji . Not once will she blame Ahem for actually conceding to give her place to her sister .As i see it , she has a simple one track mind where everything is prioritised by relations . Pati and sasural come first . One track minds r dangerous though cute briefly . Radha has one too . Pati Umang rules , though he is criminal . He is pati . And like some pativrata nagin she is still trying to avenge him as no common sense makes way into that one track brain .
