So why is she not taking a stand for samar and nandini? Why is she indirectly playing with samar's self respect by forcing him to apologize to vanraj? All the places where she did take a stand was only for her mahaanta. She refused to sign the papers to show mahaanta. Most of her deeds including asking samar to show respect to vanraj is her mahaanta. Otherwise she would demand respect from toshu and paakhi when they insult her
Yes traditional desi society isn't perfect and it is unfair to women in many ways...
But I said right from the beginning of this show and my opinion is the same now- letting your kids walk all over you (the way Anu does most of the time with Toshu and Pankhi) is the OPPOSITE of what desi society advocates... children are expected to show immense respect towards both their parents...
It is (at least partly) Anu's own failing if she has failed to teach her kids to respect their own mother despite it aligning exactly with what society would expect of them anyway...
My cousin's family came over a month or so back and we all watched Anupama together while they were there... none of them had ever seen it before (they only watch western stuff) and my cousin had remarked almost straight away how abnormal the way Pankhi behaves with her mother (and gets away with it!) is, especially for a typical Indian joint family...
Baa and Vanraj are horrible, but (unfortunately 🤔) there are many husbands and MILs like that in India and women would often be told to keep forgiving them and putting up with them in order to become mahaan... but thankfully, kids like Toshu and Pankhi who have so much general disrespect towards their mother are very rare, and even in such rare cases, NO ONE expects the mothers to put up with them!
