It is a difficult task to actually figure out who Palomi really is. In my opinion, she is the only character next to Payal, who is really confused regarding her own personality/identity.
I'll come back to Payal once I get done with Palomi.
So, to begin with, I initially loved Palomi, yes I did. The sole reason being her pure love for Uma. At first, she was this simple lady who acknowledged the fact that Uma has happily married Kanak and sees her as his life partner. And I liked this nature of Palomi. She instead of feeling insecure and jealous, showed the real spirit of being in love, by being happy for Uma...praying to God that Kanak keeps him happy. This was the Palomi once upon a time...who initially referred to herself as Meera. (For those of you who don't know Meera, she was an ardent devotee of Lord Krishna, who unlike Radha, never got the opportunity to meet Lord Krishna and be known as his Premika/Lover. She chose to be referred to just as a dedicated devotee, an unrecognised silent lover and admirer of Lord Krishna.) Palomi had agreed to accept her fate. Even though Suman instigated her to take some sort of action, she refrained herself from doing anything of that sort. She left it all to Suman, to do the planning and the plotting.
Even when Kanak returned to Uma's house after running away for the first time, Palomi kept her calm. She kept doing things to impress Uma, but in the process, never hurt Kanak or Uma.
She didn't even interfere with Kanak's Shat Patni Charitra Tests, and as usual, never gave up on her blank gloomy expression.
But then after a sudden turn of events, even Palomi's character started losing it's true essence.
It all started when Palomi came to know about Kanak's Rambha Test, when suddenly out of nowhere she became desperate to conquer Uma's heart's territory. I think Palomi's 'Rambha' avatar, oops, 'Kanak Copy Cat' avatar came in as a surprise to the viewers too. Her love turned into lust for no reason. 😕
Earlier, even before the Rambha Test, KanUm were suppossed to do the Suhaag Raat stuff twice, even though both the times it was unsuccessful. Now the thing that doesn't make sense in all of this is that why didn't it pester Palomi as much as it did this time when Kanak took the Rambha avatar. Palomi had made her mind to stay strong, and not lose her character, then why did she give in too fast ? According to the serial it happened only during those 20 days of Kanak's stay at Toshniwal Haveli right ?
All these questions can only be answered by Palomi, I mean the CVs. 😭
Well, that one thing was not enough to butcher Palomi's character. The CVs made Palomi Masi sa's 'partner in crime' too. Now when I watch Masisa and Palomi, it feels like watching the Lady Shakuni playing with Lady Duryodhana's innocent mind. All the planning and plotting of Masisa gives the feeling of watching Shakuni in Kaliyuga, that too in Lady avatar. 😆
Palomi has now gone too low to get what she desires. She blindly believes what Masi sa says, and when she witnesses KanUm coming closer, she intentionally provokes Masisa and questions her strategies. She has finally entered into the dirty kitchen politics arena. She does some extremely inhuman and stupid stuffs just to get accepted by Uma. In the process, she hurts anyone and everyone who comes in her way. She has no morals to be followed now, she only wants what she wants. But she forgets the fact that it can put her into a dangerous situation in future, wherein she would lose her everything.
The confusing aspect about her personality/identity is that whether she has love, lust or just a mere attraction towards Uma...or is it just that she is jealous of Kanak's personality as a whole and is insecure about the fact that Uma appreciates her ? Is Palomi egoistic and wants to come over her ego issues regarding Kanak ? Palomi herself is confused about her own self and she is contradicting and ridiculing her previous statements, as she is no more the Meera in Uma's life, she wants to become the Menka, which will bring her down as she won't be worshipped like Meera is. 🤢
All in all, I have no problem with Palomi adorning herself with those backless blouses, until her intentions are not wrong. Maybe, this in a way is done, to reach out to the viewers and tell them that see, Palomi is insecure of Kanak and wants to prove to Uma that she looks better than Kanak. Now I don't even know whether to like Palomi or hate her. She is a character who has given us the reasons to like her as well as hate her...strange !!!! 😲
Personally, I applaud Madhura Naik for portraying Palomi the way she does. And even for the fact that she blindly trusts the CVs and plays her part the way it should be. Her acting makes it easier to watch Palomi without hating her much. The same goes for Sadiya Siddique for perfectly portraying Masisa. 👏👏
Well, that's it, I wrote each and everything I know about Palomi...this has come out too long to read, but this is definitely not to offend anyone's opinion. These are just my views and perceptions. If any of you don't agree with me it's definitely fine. 😊😳
Ye Hai Mohabbatein
