This is the first time the roles are reversed and Kalyani is being the one acting in such a way... but I think if we look back at all she has taken from him without complaining,everything she has suffered at his hands without being to blame for what he angry for, if we consider the times he has not trusted her... then her behavior doesn't seem that bad compared to that of Malhar himself in the past or other characters.
She is acting this way out of hurt because it's not the first time her feelings have been hurt by him and right now she's not in her right mind.
Also,I am watching old episodes lately, and I think her attachment to Pillu has something to do also with the way both Malhar and Aparna used to taunt her about not knowing anything about children's upbringing, being bearer of bad luck, questioning whether she even cared about the kid during the Keshav story and suspecting her of knowing his truth and having chosen Anu over Moksh.
Subconsciously,she may have become extra protective about Pillu because,thou she's not his bio mother,she loves him like her own and doesn't want anyone to ever doubt that.
You are absolutely correct. She does feel the need to overcompensate because she is not Pillu's biological mother.
Her anger now at Malhar is pent up angry from all those times she never expressed it. These things when they are bottled up for so long have weird ways of coming out because internally the resentment is still there. This is the final phase in the love story. When they re out of this and get remarried with mutual consent and love, it will be a new phase in their relationship, no guilt or resentment or anything else.
