On second thought, Mishti was never that obstinate or stubborn, was she? She’s always given in to the wishes of people she loves. 1) When Meenu switched Rishta from Kuhu to her, Mish was reluctant to accept but on BM’s insistence she capitulated. 2) When Kunal agreed to goddhana Mishti was hesitating because their courtship had been short, but BM pleaded silently and Mishti agreed. 3) When BP fixes her Rishta with Nannu, Mishti refused because she didn’t love Nannu and still had hope about Abir’s return but then again she was railroaded into accepting Nannu Rishta
4) Magazine fiasco- Mishti wasn’t at fault and didn’t want to apologize or rectify but 3 pronged emotional blackmail by BP, Abir and BM forced her to compromise
All along Mishti has capitulated to the wishes of the 3 people she loves the most and again she will do that regarding adoption.
Ya, Mishti tries to resist and follow her heart initially but her 3 dhals browbeat her into doing otherwise. If she had refused Kunal (and fulfilled BB's wish-and then we could have been spared the sitar avalanche, MishKu arrest, Naman's old crime and present arrest on false charges); if she had put her foot down and refused BP's proposal for Nannu- two big blunders of her life could have been avoided.
Everyone forgets that behind her emotionally strong, independent personality, are hidden her fear, insecurities and also love for the 3 most important people of her life. She did come across as an advocate for women's emancipation with her radical views and she still continues to express mature, lucid views on things (like for instance, today) when she is not busy apologising unnecessarily to everyone. She just can't uphold them in practice for reasons glaringly obvious. It's a pity.
