I am in agreement with most of your points ref Bold.
But the drug addict was Mai's son and that is what is tragic. In the show's negativity they are showing a mother who most people would hate to be associated with.
I don't think Mai is taking Tapasya back only because of her being a Thakur's daughter but mainly because she may be carrying the heir to the Bundela name otherwise she would have brought Tapasya back earlier. Hypocrisy at its best.
The rich feel they have the honor of rewriting the rules on rituals and feelings just because they are wealthy and no one can fight them.
I think she is against the Devar Bhabhi connection more than Ichcha herself, although she was not falling over Ichcha with love and blessings.
Isn't it strange that Vansh is only referred to now whenever she wants to put Ichcha down. Where has all her grief at losing her eldest son gone?????I wonder!!!!!!!!!
I agree with you on the point that mai is taking tapasya for her heir, ignoring the fact that she is the cause for destroying the lives of both her sons. She could have claimed her grandchild only and need not have taken Tapasya along. Veer could claim custody of the child and get it also because of Tapasya's criminal deeds. She is pushing her motherly rights and authority on Veer a bit too far by thrusting Tapasya on him. She would not have done the same had it been Ichcha in Tapasya's place. She would have thought of paying her off. That is what I meant when I said that Tapasya being a thakur's daughter helps even if she is a criminal.
About the Devar Bhabhi connection- She knew only too well that they were lovers engaged to be married. How could she get her married to Vansh in the first place? By doing that she did injustice to Vansh also. She never told him the truth about Veer- Ichcha engagement. She told him that she did not want him to marry her because she was a maid's daughter. When she is ok with the elder son marrying the younger son's lover, there is no point in her observing any of the rituals. There is a total moral bankruptcy there on her part. Combine it with ignorance, arrogance, and power- a dreadful combo- this is what we have- complete chaos in the lives of everyone under her rule.
