before blaming simmi, we need to see things from her perspective. She has been married to rapist for 4+ years, shares a baby with him, loves him wholeheartedly, and rapist was always the ideal son in law and a husband. he has never given anyone reason to doubt him. Of course someone as blind as simmi would never believe ishita when you consider all the factors above.
lovely_lady has made some valid points. simmi has seen very little of the world, her husband is her everything and her happiness depends on him. this kind of dependant relationships are always a bad sign, a woman must always maintain their own identity- which simmi does not. Her world consists of her baby, husband and maayka. Right now, her world is falling apart- she won't accept the truth easily even if it is right in from of her.people keep saying that sarika should be enough to to convince her but sarika is not very credible. you and I know the truth so obviously we would think she is telling the truth but what about simmi? if this case goes to court, then any amateur lawyer will throw sarika's testimony out the window because sarika lost credibility for lying so much. She also works for ishita, lawyers can argue that ishita manipulated her. so in reality, sarika's encounter with pervert is not incriminating evidence.with all that said, simmi is still awful and disgusting. I understand her POV but the way she treated ishita was unacceptable.
