For Kuhu, the feelings towards Mishti are one dimensional. She has a problem relating to different feelings at the same time. (To her a person can never be a combination of good or bad its either good or totally bad)
Towards Mishti,it has always been hating, blaming and disdain and based on circumstances, the attributes change. Negative behavior all along like competitive when there is an activity involved, guilt when she pushed her from pyramid and fear towards her family during the Nannu debacle. She does come and tell Abir not to trouble Mishti or yell at her but its little concern at that one point because then again, this concern is more out of love for Nannu than concern for Mishti.
Even before meeting Abir to call him out on Kunal with drugging Nannu, she does warn Mishti to forget Abir. She hurts her time and time again and calls her a lost pup, a freeloader, a murderer’s daughter amongst other mean and rude things like asking her to get out of the house. There is no excuse for this kind of vile obnoxious behavior whatsoever. As kids we learn certain things but as adults, we change but Kuhu has remained the same - superficial and mean.
She even acts rude with Parul Maasi because she associates Maasi with lack of power in the RV Household and considers her weak but BB she worships when she is in fact who named her “Dragon Saas”. Towards Kunal too, pre break it was more of an infatuation towards his wealth and power and of hate for Mishti than love for him. He used her for his mission to break Mishbir up but even knowing that no self-respecting person would have stayed with him. She snatched Mishti’s Mandap, her day selfishly (we all know it was selfish no matter how much we love Kaveri). Which sane person will allow her husband (after marrying him for the second time) to drink the cold coffee she doubted had pills in while she accidentally spilled hers?
She doesn’t know the meaning of love other than that which serves her interest, purpose, namely BP/BM, her parents who provide for her, Jasmeet who caters to her whims and fancies of bashing Mishti. If Jasmeet were to switch sides to support Mishti, she will hate her too.
It has always been about her, her greatness glory and anyone who comes in the way of that is evil. Where everyone like Maami, Jasmeet fuel her with their waah waahi and support, Mishti has been the only one that has called a spade a spade and Kuhu hates her more because of that. Mishti has helped and supported her all along even by slapping Kunal to show him the right way but she refuses to see the good in her; “only that she is Mishti Mahaan and I hate her”.
On a deeper psychological level, Kuhu I feel is a confused admirer of Mishti because she cannot figure out why everyone loves Mishti and why she is actually Mishti Mahaan and she and Jasmeet enjoy breaking her because they never can be the gold that Mishti is.
Where Mishti has used her insecurities to love and heal, Kuhu has used her insecurities to hate. The Yin to Yang.
