Is Vandana a typical, cruel, taunting, abusive mil?
IMHO, No π ...She's just a petrified mother...
A woman who has loved her step-son as much as her biological son, if not more...Who patiently waited for Arjun to accept her, for so many years...Who put her ego n self respect aside...Why?!?!...because the maternal instinct over-rides all other...
Yes, Vandana's behaviour with Maya does appear unacceptable, on face value...But the fact is, it's not as if Vandana has typical mil type issues with Maya, like intercaste issues, dowry issues, or plain obsessive n possessive love for her son, n hence unable to accept Dil in son's life...Any other greedy middle class mil would have been licking Maya's feet, thanks to her financial status...But NOT Vandana...
She is not accepting Maya NOT for any of these reasons...I'ts solely because she feels n believes that association with Maya can bring about Arjun's downfall, as Arjun is Maya's obsession...N as a mother, her fears have only been compounded since Arya marriage...
1) Ashwin's disclosure to Vandana just before the marriage
2)Maya insisting on completing the marriage amidst a blazing Mandap
3)Ashwin's dying on the Mandap pyre , after accusingly pointing towards the trio of Maya, Arjun Jhanvi
4)Arjun becoming a prime suspect in Ashwin's murder n being interrogated at the police station one day after the marriage
5)now, Arjun being arrested for Ashwin's murder
In this scenario, how can we expect Vandana to welcome Maya with open arms?
A mother's love is one of the purest forms of love...Yes, every mother is selfish in her love...The mere existence of her child is her first & last joy...It's a mother's primitive instinct to be protective of her child...I only see fear n protection for Arjun's life in Vandana's eyes everytime she yells at Maya...Yes, her approach may not be right...But then, when has a mother's fear for her child's life been able to think or behave rationally?!?!?
Vandana's behaviour may appear OTT at the moment...But if it turns out that Maya is the killer (I believe it's MPD), then Vandana's fear & behaviour will be justified to the majority on the forum, who are all gunning for her π
(Though if Maya indeed is a case of MPD/DID, my heart would reach out to herπ)
