People keep saying she has no self-respect. So what did she do 6 years ago? She could've kept Kunal and killed her self-respect right? But she didn't!
Not everything is about self-respect! It's what her heart probably still wants. Does she like that she's struggling? No! Does she wish she could completely move on? YES! But she can't. Just like each one of us here has our own weakness and we struggle to resist things and people who aren't good for you, Mauli has that weakness too. Stop berating her under the self respect' tag! She chose that long ago! Now it's not a matter of self-respect after 6 years. It's her emotional struggle and it's real!
