I feel she does. What other explanation can there be for the blind devotion she has for benba except eternal gratitude for protecting her son? But what I don’t understand is why she wants kuku rishta to happen now. Unless she is one of those old fashioned people who believe it can be “cured” by marrying the right girl and she thinks kuhu is the right girl. If so, I would be really disappointed in her:(
Quite possible... it's very difficult for older generations to acknowledge it in India. That could possibly be the reason why Parul thinks this is just a phase for Kunal.
