Interesting - see, to me the expressions on the current Manjari look like those on women with abuse-induced PTSD I met when I volunteered at a women's shelter. She's got this fear and sadness behind her eyes. In the scenes with Harsh - her expression and smile open up when she thinks she's caught him in a good mood (like after the HARNISH scenes) but one can see her close up again when he speaks sharply to her.
To me, that portrayal makes sense - Harsh raised his hand to hit her in front of everyone, he's openly rude to her. Who knows what he says or does to her in private...
As for Abhimanyu she makes her face brighten when she looks at him - well maybe not so much in recent episodes but in the early episodes.
Would she have phalaoed all the raita needed to drive this particular plot forward if she'd been a strong mom and happy woman - I'm not sure... The plot needed her to be confused and people-pleasing and wishy-washy.
PLz dont compare her with women you see in the shelter.
everyone is different and she is a well to do wife/member of a popular doctor family. they have charades.
I also know of woman who are have been abused by their husbands/ fathers but I did not come to know of it till things became public. Then we sit and try to analyse did they ever behave like an abuse victim.
Abt Manjari character- she is emotionally abused by her husband and her sister true.
But she managed to raise 2 boys who love her and put her above everything. Her nephew behaves like her minion. This woman must have some qualities that all the lovely young boys consider her as the mothership.
Mahima is insecure about the fact that her sister has a hold on the men in the family. Also Anand really likes Manjari because he knows she is keeping everyone together.
So this woman is publicly very put together.
The mistake she made of choosing Aarohi is also her overconfidence that her son likes this girl who is a doc. and she doesnt need to ask him any additional question.
This confidence needed a certain passive aggressive character, calm on the outside, she craves for her husband's approval but when it comes to her sons her behaviour is of the one who takes cares of them.
Do you get the vibe from her?
she is like a cracked raw egg all the time. Yucks.
