it pains me to say this, especially as this serial was one of the first that I signed on to IF for, I hated, literally hated today's episode. One the one hand Meera's rudeness knows no bounds and it truly grates on me so much that I am beginning to hate watching on the other we have a father who stands silently while his daughter is rude to him, his wife and to the elders of the family. It was left to Vidya to protect Gopi when Meera raised her hand to Gopi. He was nowhere near to stop her or rebuke Meera for what she did and he allowed her to continue to be rude to Gopi. After making those promises when her 'remarried' Gopi he has broken them already.
And Gopi, the stupid tart! 😡 All she can say is that Meera is a child and should be forgiven. Lady, once your child becomes taller than you they do have some sense. Yes they need guidance but Meera needs something stronger. By excusing her acts of rudeness Gopi is giving her license to continue as she is. Meera is not a child but a young adult who has been spoilt by her father's impotence to impart any discipline save to glare at her and a family friend who covered up all of Meera's antics.
And we come to what is grating me more. Through all of Meera's taunts, rudeness and accusations, not once has Ahem confronted Meera and told her the real reason for her separation from the family. When she was a toddler and the circumstances then and then ten years previously when he separated the girls from their extended family due to his anger and ego. Why isn't he sitting her down calmly and explaining to her? Has he still got that hang up of not wanting Meera's anger towards Gopi to turn into love.
This storyline is tedious
