When Pratima said those deadly words to Suhani, i went into a state of shock. But as soon as i recalled the premarriage scenes, it finally made sense to me. She didn't put on this on herself to avoid the hurtful truth of her father's deal to Suhani, but what she told was 100% true.
Here goes Pratima's selfish saazish:
In the beginning, just like Soumya felt, Pratima too fell into an impression that Yuvani were in love with each other on many circumstances. She finally came to this conclusion that Suhani is her bahu when she saw the shadows of Soumya and Krishna hugging each other, mistaking them to be Yuvani. She might had been in plans already to go to Suhani's house for the marriage proposal. When Yuvraj told her that he is in love with Soumya contradicting her belief, she got shattered. She didn't think Soumya was a bad girl and Suhani was good, but she knew Suhani better and decided her as DIL of BH in mind. She's so stubborn that she didn't take her son's feelings into consideration and also cleverly used her name forgetting/mistaking problem.
Here comes the reason for Pankaj's revenge:
I also feel she would have manipulated Pankaj into believing that Yuvani are made for each other, even before Yuvraj - Pankaj's meet. She might have made him know what type of person Yuvraj is and he believed Yuvraj to be that considering her words. This is why Pankaj has faith that Yuvraj soon shall love her and make her happy, but when now it doesn't seem like that, he is on a revenge mode.
At present, i have more anger towards Pratima and Pankaj than on everyone else. They atleast brought and revealed the truth out, unlike the hiders. Pankaj and Pratima are reason for those snakies to torture Suhani.
What went wrong with Pratima:
She couldn't keep her sons away from Dadi's clutches when they were too young. She let it go all silent, with no tongue in her mouth to say against Dadi. When two DILs of her too followed Dadi who are Dadi's selection, she felt this time she has to have one along with her. So, she went for her selection. She did all this secretly, had she did this openly, it won't have made her this cunning. She hid the secrets in her tummy. She only want her intention to happen. At the end Yuvraj needs to have the wife she got for him, not his choice..bcoz. at that time Yuvi's choice equals Dadi's choice. She not for once thought about Suhani. How can she live with a man who is not in love with her like she was thinking? What happens when she comes to know this dangerous secret? No, it didn't and still doesn't matter her. She does what she believes. My respect for her completely got killed when she said she has no regrets. Even before that episode, she continulously showed her true colors which we took lightly or failed to understand. She only want this marriage..fixed by her to not break. It doesn't matter for her even if Suhani breaks into tears. At that point, i felt she is more dangerous than all the Snakies.
If she truly wished both Yuvani's happiness and particularly Suhani's as she gives coloring that she is her daughter, she would have spoken directly to both Yuvani. She would have told Yuvraj how wrong he was thinking that only looks are everything for a girl. She would have told him that he just attracted to her and ask him feel is it is a real love. She would have defined the true love and also about the true beauty. She would have told him to wait sometime and when he'll get to know Soumya's character and ideologies, if he thinks they match his own thoughts, then they (Soumya and Yuvraj) should have an open talk about it and let the matters proceed, i.e., talking to Soumya's mother. By this time, Yuvraj would have understood that Soumya was in love with someone else and that she lied to him.
Pratima would have given more time for him to heel, even if he was fine outside to fade out his past memories. She would have told how she feels a girl she thinks is a good mach for him. Again, she must leave it to Yuvraj's choice. If it was ok to him, somedays later she would have gone to Suhani's house for proposal. Again, when she came to know that Suhani was in delusion that Yuvraj loves her, it is more important to her to reveal the truth that it'n not that case more than fixing the match. Suhani obviously would have rejected as soon as she came to know. Then after few days, Yuvani..if destiny want them to come together would have made them fall in love with each other and then marriage would have happened on their own wishes purely..without any saazishs.
What went wrong with Pankaj:
Again almost the same mistake done by Pratima. He didn't care for his daughter's feelings. Yes she did like him, but it was only bcoz she was told that Yuvi loved her which wasn't the fact. She loved a man which she thought was in love with her..who wasn't real. So, again if he really cared for his daughter's well being..he wouldn't have married her to someone who didn't love her, want her. He would have told her that he's not in love with her..the fact which he knows and would have waited till a right man comes in her life who loves Suhani. What did he think? That no one else marries her? Which age is he living? He thinks Yuvi is right match for her? What does Yuvi do? Nothing. Just bcoz he belongs to a rich family? Suhani is a well educated girl..all she needs is some respect and love for her. Not a wealthy family bahu tag. Equally selfish soul to Pratima.
Everyone is selfish as well..everyone except Bhavna hurt Suhani for their own needs. Soumya for her elopement to succeed safely, Yuvraj for his family's house and wealth, Sharad for his Guru's sake, Lata to avoid words from society if Suhani comes back to house permanently if their relationship isn't good. So, for many days she made her avoid knowing whatever truth it is.
Truly parents feel they do perfect for their children and know what to do. They feel it is their right to do anything they feel is correct for them. They take their children's lives for granted. It isn't that they want to harm us willingly and intentionally..they do care about us and want our safety but their actions may not be correct always and they don't recognize it even after repeating the same thing again and again. Hence no regrets.
My mother care for me lot. But she has to believe on me, my ability to live alone & my ability to keep myself safe in new world. She has to take my interests into consideration rather than forcing her interests on me. She rejected my wish to study at university in the other state. As a result, even when i got good grades and marks till then, i didn't did well in the college she selected for me. Now i want to pursue my own career as a model/ actress and want to move to new city. She again rejected saying what will others think if you leave the house? Is it any crime to live on myself. My friends will be with me and she know hey are good. Still she doesn't want words from society about my absence in my home. When i tried to convince her, she said once i leave the home..iam not supposed to come back again, ever in my life. Why? For what mistake? Caring for her daughter OR Caring for others' words..i don't know..
Just vented out my pain here..now iam feeling better.
