Pari said that she never saw her mother so in her early years, her buddy was the only person she had in her life..
Later Mishti and Pari spoke about their perfect family, Mishti got her perfect family ie Mauli, Ishaan, Dida, Radhika and Pari but Pari didn't get the perfect family she wanted ie Buddy, Mauli, Dida, Radhika and Mishti..
Moreover Mishti was only 5 when Ishaan and Mauli got married, I don't understand what pain did Mishti see in Mauli's marriage considering Mauli was happily married to her popsie since she was 5
In Pari's case, she got to know the truth of Nandini and Kunal's betrayal in worst possible way and she had to live with this guilt, next thing her father lost his memory, then she couldn't even tell him anything about what Sandhya did because Sandhya blackmailed her into thinking that she is the reason for her father's illness
We don't know when exactly Their parents died so won't comment on that but the fact that Pari's mom doesn't even get a place on the wall must be painful for the child, Nandini was wrong but so was Kunal, no compulsion on forgiving Nandini but at least they should have considered feelings of Pari
I disagree that Mishti had the perfect life. Gajra did not depict it, but think of it practially. In the real world, doesn't a divorced woman get mocked and her character questioned? In the real world, one of Ishaan's relatives would have counselled him against marrying Mishti by pointing out that she's a divorced woman and there must be something wrong with her character. Gajra chose not to show this, but this is what happens in real life. If Mishti wasn't affected by the EMA, why did she have the breakdown she did when she found out the truth?
If you say that Mishti didn't have the maturity to see the pain in Mauli's life, then Pari too didn't have the maturity to understand the concept of EMA when it was explained to her. So what guilt could she have had at that age?
Thirdly, why are we judging love by the quantity of family members? Quality matters. Though Pari might have grown up with only 1 family member, Kunal loved her immensely. If he felt that he was incapable of compensating for a mother's love, he could have always chosen to marry someone else to fill the gap. But he didn't. Because he was confident of filling that gap and managed to. So he didn't marry anyone else.
Till date, we never know what happened after MauHaan's marriage? Mishti could have lived with MauHaan at Ishaan's home while Kunal lived with his mother and grandmother. If this had happened, that means Pari would have received their love and attention too.
Finally, I agree that it is wrong that Nandini's picture was not hung on the wall, when Kunal's was. But that doesn't mean no one cares for her. Just because they didn't accept her mother, doesn't mean they didn't accept and love her. At times, I feel Pari should focus on that as well instead of ruminating over the fact that her mother wasn't accepted. Or at least she should open up regarding this with someone.
