Apu, first of all, great post. Somehow you always manage to beautifully place all our concerns in such an elegant manner. Bravo. 👏👏
Up until yesterday I was rooting for Pratima, I was trying to justify her (lack of) actions. But yesterday I was shocked. How could she actually do something like this?! I thought she was inexperienced and lacked courage, but yesterday's episode showed how selfish she was. In a way yes, what she thought was moral but why would she ruin someone's else's life like that? You know what's more infuriating? I think that the makers believe every word that Pratima has said or they would have made her regret her decision.
Why is it that marriage is considered the solution to everything? Why is it that Pratima thinks that putting two people in a LOVELESS marriage would fix everyone's mentality, this is not how it would work in real life at all. If Pratima couldn't instill those values in her children, then how does she think some outsider will? Suhani is a human being just like her, and she's a young women. Doesn't Pratima understand that Suhani as a person also has desires, also wants something from life? Why should her life mission be to conform a bunch of ignorant and frankly evil people?
All those months spent in the shithole called the Birla Mansion destroyed Suhani's spirit. Pratima, I don't think once asked Suhani, how she feels after those insults, has she? Yesterday Suhani was crying her eyes out, and what did Pratima come to say once again? She did not regret her decision. W*F? This girl has been shattered because of your decision and all you have to say is you don't regret anything. If Pratima really cared about Suhani, she would have been sorry, she would have listened to Suhani, asked her she wants, what she wants to do. Can she not see Suhani's pain, the trauma she is experiencing?
Coming to Sharad, he also has been disappointing for the past few episodes. Suhani is not merely angry regarding a trivial matter, but she is devastated. She needs a friend, and Sharad could have been that friend, but he's too busy being teasing Yuvraj and being his sidekick. Also what I don't understand is that all these people live in the same house, and so much is happening, but no one is communicating a single thing to one another.
Coming to ShaTima, I no longer have any hopes for them as well. I guess living in the BM has made them immune to everyone else's feelings excluding Yuvraj. These was once a time that I considered ShaTima Suhani's family, but unfortunately they're not. Suhani will forgive them, but irl, a women with some self-respect for herself would not.
As you mentioned, Suhani does not have a real family. She has always selflessly given to everybody, but no one has done the same for her.
