Divya is not shallow but completely human for me. She is normal human like all of us, who get possessive, angry, jealous, hurt.
Divya is possessive about Raj. And its clearly being expressed by her. The entire Saas- Bahu scenario took right in front of her. At first, She witnessed how Raj's mother was cursing and calling all names to a particular 'Sarita' and cringed at that. And then she was shocked to finally face the most dreadful truth of her life...her face paled and breath stuck when she came to know that Raj got married! Her Raj got married!! Then started the game of cursing-shouting game of MIL. However, instead of being a coy and docile bahu, Sarita lashed out in return, much to Divya's surprise.
However, i would like to point out one thing here...Divya was heartbroken at this moment, and despite knowing that MIL was at fault, she only found fault only with Raj's wife. Not the lady Sarita -- but Raj's wife!
It pained her, hurt her, slashed her heart to know that some other lady was her Raj's wife now, that he must be loving that lady now, would have shared his 10 years with that lady now. In my opinion, Divya felt jealous and hurt of Sarita and hence only found faults with her and not the MIL though her sane brain must have noted that MIL was also at fault...but her heart did not!
I don't think she negated/ ignored all of Kamla's abusive rants because she was Raj's mother... she felt uncomfortable with that in the initial moments...however, her heart was only trying to find faults with Sarita.
That's the reason when she came back home and spoke to her family, she had only negative things to say abt Sarita...she didn't even mention Kamla because her heart was only thinking how Sarita had taken her place in Raj's life! Her mind was reeling only over Sarita and Sarita!! She is infact trying to find bad things from nowhere in Sarita. She found fault with every single thing of Sarita -- the way she spoke, the manner in which wore her saree everything, the manner of her make up! Every single thing of Sarita poked her! Moreover, Sarita's backlash gave her even more reasons to point fingers at her! Not because she didn't realize that MIL was the one to push Sarita but because Sarita was her Raj's wife.
Her brother pointed it out very well! ANd she accepted at last, that she was angry that Raj moved ahead in his life. The flashback scene only went on to show how possesive she was abt Raj. For such a girl, to accept Raj's wife was simply very difficult.
Yes, Divya was wrong too. She should not have left him without giving any sort of hope for him to wait for her...and yet wishing that he would wait for her. (I am still wondering why she left him, what was her so called Majboori for which she had to leave him. She could have gone to Mumbai, with a promise to remain in touch and return back when she settles her siblings, i am sure he would have happily waited for her!) She felt angry today, that Raj didn't understand her majboori...but what was her majboori? Hope they show it.
