That's really beautiful @aquaHP. The way you define Kuhu, it is really beautiful. She seems completely realistic to me. Since childhood, she's suffered so much, struggled so much. It hurts when the family you had struggled so much to get ignores your feelings just to please someone else. It's not bad of them that they loved Mishti and Mishti too wasn't wrong in her place but everybody overlooked how bad Kuhu must have felt. The family failed to understand a child's insecurities.
And whenever Kuhu wanted to protest, to let her emotions out - the way it came out, to others it appeared as if she's throwing tantrums, is being disrespectful, illogical and immature. Because hey! if your family scolds you or treats you in a certain way that it's for you to become better but they failed to realize that these small issues can make a huge difference in a child's life. After reading your post, I can make out that Kuhu grew up by keeping all her true emotions to herself because nobody cared enough.
And I really don't think that there is anything wrong with Kuhu prefers money and is being materialistic. I mean, who isn't materialistic and is a complete saint in this world? Kuhu cannot be called materialistic for according to me she is practical and realistic. So what if she liked Kunal for his background first. Hasn't she developed a lot since her marriage? She loves her husband dearly and if she hadn't why would she have fought to be with him.
But this is the problem with ITV. They pick up a complex character and then they fail to deal with it and give it proper justice. And then there is the curse of being a second lead/parallel lead which, to be honest, these second lead characters seem nothing more than a prop to me for they are only needed to push the story for the main characters forward.
And as you said, the makers are turning Kuhu's character to negative. This is what ITV is all about, the blacks and the whites - they don't understand the greys.
