Pre has been impulsive from the get go. She became the sacrificial lamb in the interest of her family. She barely thinks about the ripple effect of her choices. Once Rajesh was gone she saw Moloy as father figure but her recent actions gave little thought to him and let’s not forget Veena and her siblings. (They are family by blood but the way she has given little to no thought to her maike since she got hitched to Baj shows a selfish side to her. Maybe she’s unable to cope with more than the drama she’s dealing with in the moment.
Pre barely has a thought process that’s hers and well thought out. She took Rajesh’s financial problems as her own and hid the truth from him and decided to make herself the sacrificial lamb to Navvu the predator. She didn’t think what life with Navvu in a foreign land would be like with no one else to turn to if she was in trouble. Trouble found her if she doesn’t find it first. She often bit more than she could chew. Anu recognized her impulsive nature and her propensity to act without thinking things through. He saved her from a life with Navvu. Anu spent more time keeping her out of trouble or saving her. Post her marriage to Baj he followed her around like a predator just to get to the bottom of her sudden wedding to Baj leaving him stranded with no explanations. The fact she assumed that since she moved on with Baj that Anu should also move on without questioning her decision shows her immaturity and lack of understanding Anu’s perspective.
Not going to flog the dead horse of how she came to be legally Mrs. Baj. She landed with yet another predator who covertly watched her and trapped like a sitting duck. Baj decided she would be best mother for Sneki, a young woman he easily manipulated to his advantage, one half his age. He’s telling her how to deal with her family, isn’t that something Pre should know or at least figured out ON HER OWN by now to some extent? He barely knows her family, nor did he show them the respect they deserved having chosen them as his in-laws to take her home after their wedding. Instead he whisked her off to a honeymoon overseas. And he’s giving her tips on self respect and trust? He was instrumental in her choosing to break the trust with her own family. Neither do they care for the man who turned two families’ lives upside down for his selfish ends at the moment.
No one not even a man twice her age can teach Pre self-respect. She has to figure it out for herself. The more confident she feels making decisions fo herself the more her self esteem will grow naturally.
For an impulsive girl like her it wasn’t in her nature to think things through, it was a rare occurrence. The guys in her life have told her what decisions to make. Even Veena told her to fight for her rights instead of having a pity party when Anu married Komo and voila! she showed up at Basu House claiming her rights as Anu’s biwi #1. She has made plenty of decisions on her own but has she learned from her mistakes? She can help Sneki as a caregiver but she’s got a long way to go before she can be a positive role model parent to Sneki. She’s got a lot of figuring out to do on her own without Baj spoon-feeding her about how she should handle things.
Navvu and Baj both dark characters on entry and she simply fell in line with their expectations. What does that say about how she values herself?
