<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Even today, I get that she expected Kunal to come and talk to her but when Parul opened the door and it was Abir, her visible disappointment was so off putting. Which mother is so put out to see her other son?</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Meenakshi has a tendency of disowning everyone who does not dance to her tunes/offends her, so maybe that's why she is so removed from Abir but seeing a mother be so cold to her son is disheartening.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">Regarding Abir not being Meenakshi's son, I actually think it's the other way around. While the insouciant Abir is her 'real' son, I think Kunal- the prodigal son will turn out to be Parul's son.</font>
<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">IDK how the baby swap happened but maybe Parul gave her son to Meenakshi 'cause something happened to Meenakshi's baby. Also, Parul is quite caring towards both Kunal and Abir, so I am not sure who is her son.</font>

Also, can someone clarify what Parul's role in the family is? It seems she is part of the staff but at the same time, Abir calls her Maasi. Who is she?</font>
In gujrat they call female maid/caretaker masi. So I think Parul is their maid/caretaker.
