bold: i feel like dunno if respect is the accurate term for this but like she's a clear example of how easily she fell into prey of having insecurities and allowing her insecurities to be exploited...like as a mother, she's concerned about the betterment of her child but manthara wielded to it being more about bharat...i can't have a negative or positive approach ..too neutral for me and more of a learning lesson tbh as to how well insecurities can easily be manipulated ..Originally posted by: DiamondLife
I don’t think Dashrath was responsible for Kaikeyi behaviour that much
It was Manthra from the beginning who was gaslighting her
Kaikeyi made it clear to her father that Ram is also her son
So Dashrath might have thought she is ok with Ram being Yuvraj and king later on
Dashrath also saw how other three brothers respect Ram and give priority
The fault I see of Dashrath is - he did not apologize to her properly and made her understand with loving approach upon breaking the promise of present during Bharat marriage
95% I feel Manthra brain washed her and it was Kaikeyi ego and selfish motive brought destruction of family happiness
I can’t respect Kaikeyi in any relationship - be it mother, wife, queen or younger to Kaushalya or elder to Sumitra or being mother in law
dashrath's fault was for being unable to discuss out the matter of breaking his promise to kaikeyi on bharat's marriage properly let alone apologize imo..
