Babita's fear runs into her very being which is natural after such a struggle in life. She was only 18 when she got married. Keeping quiet after marriage, never fulfilling her desires, becoming a mother when she herself was a child. All these things left a lasting impression on her.
It is not easy to forget 17 years in a matter of a few months. This is a serial and thus the pace, but in real life these issues are not solved so soon. Nobody gets a divorce in a matter of a month. These cases go on for a long time.
And it is good that Babita is jealous, once she addresses this issue it will assure her that Hanumaan will not ditch her like Ashok. And even better it is her friend that she is jealous of. Even if Babita is jealous, she trusts Poonam, so if Poonam makes Babita understand, she will.
she is not degrading herself, she is learning to speak. had she had this courage to speak upto ashok, maybe she would not have been in such a situation, or atleast would have left him much sooner.
