Ive been watching re-runs on Youtube (yeah I know! hate the weekends, no Bidaai!) and Ive thought of a possible reason for the lovely and kind hearted and sweet and motherly Kaushi's wonderful manners and behaviour of late. I thought that she has been exhibiting such venom and manipulative behaviour, and rejecting Sadhna so clearly and with contempt, she has decided something. She has decided that her daughter will rule the Rajvansh family, get all that the money power and status that she herself, (married to a poor writer, middle class background) never got.
I think shes decided that she needs Ragini to replace Sadhna, not just be her equal, and if she can manipulate and emotionally torture Sadhna into moving away herself, thats the best way to push Ragini into the front of the Rajvansh clan. Ragini has a loving husband who is the real heir to the family business, Naveen is sidelined and Alekh is as Mami so sweetly put it, pagal. She thinks that her daughter should set herself up and soon. Why else is she going to Vasu's house to bitch about Vasu to Vasu's bahu? If she isnt trying to set Ragini up against Vasu, why would she disobey her own husband, Ragini's father, to tattle like this?
Also, I dont agree that its any of HER business whether there is any reception, she might be hurt or upset, but she doent get to come to her daughter's new house to make her daughter feel like crap. Its because Sadhna, the girl shes so busy hurting, had a big reception and Ragini didnt, its not because she wants Ragini to have a party. Surely she, of all people, knows that Ragini WONT have a fantastic time at a reception.
If she cares about Ragini, she would want to spare Ragini an even bigger, more public humiliation than that Ragini faced at her holud. The reception, made up of the exact same shallow mean socialites would just be a bigger torture. Its also the RAJVANSH family's decision if they want a Reception or not, and its not her business, nor her place to say anything to their bahu. Her reasoning must be that she now has decided that my daughter is there, that Sadhna is also there, I never wanted them together, so now Im going to drive them apart, and my daughter will have everything. Good luck with that, Kaushi! God bless you! (NOT)
