This topic largely concerns Kaki Maa and her hiding the truth about Titli's parents' abusive relationship.
I can understand her not wanting to tell Titli while she was young as she may not have been able to understand the complexities of it. Or perhaps Kaki Maa didn't want her to end up hating her dad for he's the reason why her mom died. But once she was of age, wouldn't it have been wise to tell Titli what her parents were actually like?
As for Titli, she has mentioned that neither has she seen extreme forms of abuse within her household or anyone near her. Whatever she may have seen or heard, we can assume it would have been through her studies or the media. Despite her not witnessing anything firsthand, Titli is very strong-minded in the sense that she will not tolerate any such toxic behavior from her partner.
Personally, I believe Titli needs to be told the truth so that she can have a realistic understanding of her parents. It's better to know the bitter truth than being duped in delusion. She can appreciate Kaki Maa trying to protect her all these years but there comes a time when everyone has to grow up. Titli can't be sheltered from these matters for her entire life. Besides, wouldn't it be best for her to recognize the red flags before she bypasses them? Simply praying for a better man to be in her life isn't going to cut it.
What do you all think?
