Honestly, Harleen was not a good mother to Aasmaa ans Nehmat was not one to Aliya. Both made mistakes. Aasmaa was raised by Deepak, all her good qualities came from him. And Nehkam, even indirectly played a role in Aliya turning out like this. I get not telling the truth to a child. But why not when she has matured enough. I had understood Aliya's obsession to go to Canada. It did make more sense than Jasmine's obsessive Kanneda jaap. But she lost it the moment she decided it is totally ok to ruin an innocent Aasmaa's life to achieve her goal. And she did not even try to stop the marriage because she felt sorry for Aasmaa, but because she was jealous. She thought it was perfectly ok to gaslight Aasmaa to hide her own actions. And she got her karma. Na ghar ka na ghaat ka. She lost the guy who did love her once and the mother she did all this for is not hers at all.
I would say Harleen also had her own reasons. She was fooled repeatedly by Nekham and Jasmine. She had decided to walk away without harming anyone more than once but someone or other stopped her with false promises. Then Ekam's actions.. he basically used her as a pawn to control Nehmat. She forgave that too. But to find out that your husband is going to have a child with his ex-gf. Must have been too emotionally draining. So she did have her own reasons to do whatever she did. And Nekham did not help the case with their stupidity and lies. Unlike with Fatejo and Jasmine, Nekham did play a role in shaping Harleen's character.
Oh yes, harleen's karma is still due.
See, I'm not saying that Alia is right or she's right to ruin anyone's right BUT her reason of becoming villain was actually convincing unlike Jasmine who's just pure brat insistent on getting everything and everyone. She's still the villain, still in wrong but I found the reason behind that better than Jasmine's.
I think this is where Tejo's philosophy makes sense to me. Either confront and bring down people or let it go. Yes, Harleen was cheated on, by Ekam, who used both Nehmat and Harleen acc to his own convenience. Her stance was actually worse than previous gen, because she forgave Ekam, who was the worst, but kept grudges against Nehmat. Nehmat had moved away, but Harleen stole the kid, and that's where her arc completely changed. That's an act which changed the entire character. And tbh despite everything, she proved that she's not a good person or a good mother. She is unable to have a genuine relationship with anyone, revenge against Nehmat and Ekam, using Aasma and Alia as pawns and even then Aasmaa did not get her values from her. She ruined her own kids lives.
