I especially like ur portrayal of Shagun - the woman who STILL hates Ishita but deep down acknowledges in her heart that she could never be as good a mother as Ishita is...and the general compassion she has for her husband's wife- that stems from a common thing both she and Ishita now share...losing one's child...whether you lose it to a greater, better woman who has earned the right to be your child's mother, or you lose your child because you've been stupid enuff to not care about it for so long..or you lose it to a tragic death, because the fates destined it to be so...the pain is unfathomable...
She's always that woman to me, who witnessed her once-upon-a-time-mad-about-her husband move on to someone else, while she was stranded with no stable relationships in life. She acknowledges the truth, and accepts it too, but that doesn't change what she feels for the woman who made her ex forget her. She's not dumb, but narcissist.
That part made me have a peek into the window of a woman (Ishita) who was her arch rival...but was now sailing in the same boat as her...definitely worse, since she LOST her child, lost out on a miracle that graced upon her after countless wishes and endless waiting...never to once see it in her life...
There are times when you can even emphathize with and feel for your greatest enemy...those times are rare...I guess that is what ANY mother in the world can relate to...this pain
I deliberately wanted to bring in this angle. She might hate Ishita for all she wants, but she is a woman, and she is a mother. She can understand the pain of losing a child better than anyone else. She could at least see her kids, touch them, talk to them (if she tried), but Ishita's loss was permanent. And she could empathize, but that doesn't mean she has to sympathize as well.
Good job Nidhi!!
