Yeah i agree with she was saying “ after coming to know abt ved i have returned the baraat😑”.

Everything is abt her and she won’t want any family member to go against her. She doesn’t want family only puppets that would do everything according to her. She is always right. I don’t how someone can be so self centered. But she scarified her marriage for taking care of her family still her behaviour is too much to handle. Plus i think the temple drama is just a example of what she can do n many more to come. From Me-nakshi.

Lol so true. She should thank Mishti but here she is 'apne miya mithhu banna'.

I want to drink what she drinks. Such self-confidence.

@bold- Haha, I just said this. Great minds think alike. 😉

i feel here even she love her only son that is abir and is using kunal just to be with abir

she doesnt want kunal to marry or marry some defective peice but she is just showing off and making excuse of mishti so that parul is convinced and not get offended

and it will be property matter even

cant say anything

but one thing is clear she loves abir alot in her own twisted understaing

and is just using kunal

You think so?

She is trying her best to break Kunal-Mishti's rishta because she believes she is saving him from an 'unsuitable girl'.

Regarding Abir, how come she takes no interest in his life? Kunal's rishta has been arranged before but has Meenu thought about Abir?

She is also nasty to Abir for no reason.

Veena is heavy, damn just like a log of wood.

If Abir some atoms of brain, he shld understand that it is an attempt to murder.

Abi iss mein bhi murder yoga

Another cliche show which isn't working. Characters are good but plot is meh

Me-nakshi is so creative, I must say. Never thought a veena could be used as a murder weapon. 😂

Abir- Let's see if he has any grey matter left if the veena falls him. Poor boy.

Plot- They need to work on it. It's weak.

I think the veena incident will be an accident. Doubt they will make her a full fledged murderer at this point. They are probably trying to make her grey and keep her oscillating from bechari to megalomaniac 😂 Anyway I hope Abhir gets hurt and in the process some pampering and attention from both the families. Because he just does not exist for them otherwise.

I hope it is an accident. Didn't she drop it while looking down though? Or is it that MishBir came into the scene just as the veena was dropping?

Other people do a mic drop, Me-nakshi will do a veena drop. 😝

Yeah, nobody gives an eff about Abir. Not his own family and now even Vish and Rajshri ne insult kardi uski.

Yes abir is not like others na he does what he thinks what he likes so she somewhat mean to him. He doesn’t obey meenu like kunal does. Meenu ki haar baat nahi manta na so.

Apne munh miya mitthu banna means praising oneself or blowing one's own trumpet. Or in Meenu's case, we can say likes playing her own veena. 🤣

Someone needs to give Meenu a zor ka jhatka. Maybe KuShti should gift her an electric veena and then cause a short circuit. 😝

You hit the nail right on the head.

Bidaai- Vasundhara over Meenakshi anyday. As you said, we always knew what her motivations were and her 'flaws' were never white washed unlike on this show.

The problem is not that Me-nakshi does all this crap but rather that they try to convince us that it comes from a place of love for her family. 🙄 It's just unconvincing when you have her and other characters give sermons on how much she does for the family and then have her not even show an iota of remorse. On top of that, she goes on to hatch elaborate schemes to guilt trip everyone around her.

If they want to show us that Me-nakshi has good intentions but messes up on execution, maybe have her show some regret? After the Ketki-Ved fiasco, she did not ask for forgiveness from Ketki or anybody else. There wasn't even a scene of her which showed her fearing what would have happened to Ketki if the wedding went ahead. Instead, we get a scene of her gnashing her teeth in the dark about Mishti unmasking Ved's intentions by disobeying her. She found a way to see herself as the victim when even in this situation. Height of self-obsession.

Her behaviour or self-reflection is just not consistent with this Mahaan Meenu narrative. Characters are given reflection scenes to make the audience empathise with them and to make us understand their motives. Here, Me-nakshi is not only conning her family but also deluding herself that she is acting out of 'love' for her family, hence she is justified.

@bold- This had me go 🤷‍♀️ . She cries about Abir and then blames him the next moment for Nanu and Kunal going to the Maheshwaris. How come we never see her 'love' for Abir in action? If we didn't know of her so-called 'love' from her and other characters, one would think Abir is her step-child. For Me-nakshi, everyone is an afterthought. She is the protagonist of everyone's story.

Rupal Patel- Unsatisfactory performance from a veteran actor. Apart from the styling, there is no difference between her and Kokila Modi. Her dialogue delivery has that same monotonous quality as Kokila. I am unable to see Me-nakshi as a new character. I guess Kokila was better because while she was stern and dominating, she was not two-faced like Me-nakshi.

Word to all your points. Especially the ones in bold 👍🏻. Meenu is being shown as the protagonist for every story in the show even though in execution she comes across as a self centered megalomaniac 🙄. Her tears and bechari act just make me roll my eyes, period 🙄

And exactly! They didn’t even bother showing a token scene of her comforting Ketki 🤦‍♀️. The writing is so terribly disjointed and lacking in flow 😕.

As for the actress, LOL. I never saw her previous famous show but I find her to have terribly robotic movements and voice modulation, so I’m at a loss as to why she’s considered a revered veteran 🤷‍♀️

Even a Seema Kapoor with a super botoxed face was way better as Vasu in Bidaai. Rupal is not even remotely up to the mark in my eyes 🤷‍♀️.

instarting episode parul said that it is good na rishta has come for both boys and by this abir could marry and she mentioned that no abir is telling lie rishta has came for kunal onlyy

thats why i feel that even parul somewhat guess or has a tinch that meenakshi actually not want to marry kunal before abir

I've never thought that the writers were trying to "white wash" her. I think there's bound to be some conflict when we are talking about intergenerational differences. The whole traditional vs. modern discussion. Meenakshi thinks that the oldest of the family should be the head and everyone should obey them. And she has taken up to herself to be in that role, whether she's actually the oldest or not. And Meenakshi believes she's sacrificed so much of herself for the family so they owe her their obedience. That's why every time anyone criticizes her, she spirals out of control. I absolutely love the fact that Abir is always the first one to stand up to her because he is her son and he sees the flaws, and he's not scared of her. He respects her but he is not scared of her. I enjoy it when he talks about obvious ways she's manipulating the rest of the family members... we have at least one person who knows her inside and out. That's why I do not think the writers are trying to pain an innocent picture of Meenakshi. The way she's written, it's literally Meenakshi and Parul that find no flaws with Meenakshi. Obviously there are holes with characterizations but for the most part Meenakshi is consistent. She was mad at Mishti, not because she exposed Ved's truth, but because Mishti doing so made Meenakshi's family go against her. And that's Meenakshi's worst fear, the family she's poured her heart and soul to would ever think to abandon her.

From being in India-forums for so long, I realized that people do not want to give any benefit of the doubt to "villians". I am really interested in picking apart characters and seeing their essence, why they do the things they do.. To be honest, Meenakshi is the first villian in a very long time that's grabbed my attention this much. As much as I hate her, I know people like that. I know both men and women who want to control their family, make sure the children do not cross boundaries, listen to their elders without any objection, and be thankful to their elders every step of the way. Yeah of course there's more drama attached to Meenakshi for the purpose of the show but I definitely find the nuances of her character interesting.
