Neither do I support Ahem or Gopi fully. Both of them are at fault. However, Kokila is also responsible. She always thought about her happiness rather than her son's or daughter's happiness. However, in this respect, Ahem is also responsible. When Kokila told him that she found a girl for him and told her name, Ahem should have told about Anita. He should have put the word before the elders of the family too. If they had known this, Kokila couldn't have refused Anita. Ahem had not put in any effort to marry Anita.
From the beginning of the show itself, Kokila was saying that her DIL should be her DIL first then Ahem's wife. But Ahem wanted the other way round. But he was not outright.
Kokila came to know about Anita only when she overheard about her conversation with Ahem. She was upset that Ahem had hidden this fact from her. If he had told her before, who knows? Kokila might have agreed as well.
Kokila never wanted the couple to be close to the extent of losing her son to Gopi. She did not like when Ahem & Gopi went to have an ice-cream, celebrating valentines day etc. When she saw the rose flower in Gopi's hand, Kokila didn't like it. She gave a long lecture to the couple. When Ahem was late for the appointment with the client, she did not like when Jigar gave the presentation to the client and earned the contract.
Gopi's fault was that she left the house on Meera's accident when she was blamed for that. Didn't Ahem know that Gopi cannot harm anyone especially her own daughter? Did he ever ask her what had exactly happened and how did Meera slip out of her arms and fell? No, he didn't. On the contrary he backed up Kokila and blamed her. Instead of wasting their time on blaming Gopi, they should have tried to find Meera. They did not bother to do that. And he tells Kokila that It was she who blamed Gopi, not he. It was she who made Gopi leave the house, not he. But Gopi was so stupid that she left the house. She didn't tell anyone about her second pregnancy to any of the family members. She should have immediately told this to Ahem instead of saying that it is a surprise which she will reveal when they come downstairs.
Kokila engaged Ahem with office work and Gopi with the house work as a result of this, Ahem & Gopi could never understand each other completely.
But Ahem has always been mamma's boy till Gopi went to jail for 10 years. He has conveniently excused himself from the situation and is blaming others. When Ahem & Gopi had not spent much time with each other how could they understand the view points of each other? How could Gopi know what is Ahem's requirement and vice-versa?
Ahem's problem is that he cannot think anything beyond himself. He should understand that if they are in a joint family, they should help each other in times of crisis and when you help others, you are helping yourself as well.
What if Jigar had thought like Ahem when Gopi was kidnapped by masterji? He could have left it to Kokila and Ahem to find Gopi and get her back. What was the need for Rashi to go and find Gopi? What was the need for her to sacrifice her life for Gopi?
Radha problem was not only concerned with Jigar, she was the problem for the entire Modi clan. When Radha had kidnapped Meera and Vidya after her re-entry, what was the need for Jigar and Paridhi to come back? They could have told Radha to do whatever she wants and left it to Gopi, Kokila and Ahem to find them. Ahem was very much aware that Radha had tortured his daughters and still he did not take any action against her. He left it yo Gopi & Koki. Taking all the things about what Radha has done to their daughters, how can he tell Gopi to keep away from Radha instead of taking an appropriate action? Why didn't he work with Gopi to send Radha to jail or mental asylum? If he had co-operated neither Gopi would have taken such a step nor would she gone behind the bars nor the question of cutting the family contact would have occurred. However, it was also Gopi's duty to discuss with Ahem & remind him of what Radha did to her daughters after her second entry. Ahem had supported Gopi when she convinced him about how these things are connected to his immediate family. Even in this case she could have convinced him. Ahem neither has an understanding nor reasoning nor visualization. So he cannot blame others and wash his hands for what happened.

madhubarunsobti: Gopi's blaming Ahem is justified. Was it not his responsibility to take care of their daughters in her absence? When she left this to Ahem with good faith before going to jail, what did he do? He extended Gopi's mistake by absconding himself from the Modis along with his daughters, thereby lying to them about their mother and making them hate her. If Ahem does not like the joint family system, it is fine. But how can he give the responsibility to a total stranger like Mansi to take care of his daughters? It is because of that the girls got spoilt especially Meera who has become rude, arrogant and mannerless. Gopi made a bigger blunder by cutting the family contact and it has cost her. How can she hide the fact from her children who are already grown up that she has been in jail for 10 years? They have a right to know. If she had allowed Ahem and his family to keep in contact with her, a lot of things would have happened. Whenever the girls wanted to share their joys and sorrows with her, they could visit her in jail and shared with her. Who knows? they also could have reopened the case and proved her innocent and bailed her out. But Gopi did not allow that by cutting the contact. She took the blame for Umang's murder thinking that it was Kinjal. At that time Ahem had confronted her after he came to know that Kinjal didn't kill Umang. Ahem is not wrong in saying that Gopi wanted to be Mahaan but he didn't have any right to lie to the girls and make them hate her. He should understand that nobody can substitute or replace biological mother. But sadly, those who have mother cannot understand that as much as those children who are motherless.
If he didn't want to keep relationship with Gopi after what she did why didn't he visit her in jail with the divorce papers? He was not bound to that promise when he broke the ties with all.
I apologize for such a long post.
