Yeah that scene , she was saying mat maaro maaro and later there was mention about goons too I don't remember exactly when but there was , this thing was so strong in my mind back then , I am sure connected the dots before too smiley36


I'll try to find it and watch.



Of course if she wants she can make your kundali too smiley36 Parul ki toh nikali hi hogi , just like she always knew about mishti kuhu sisters fight , naman , kuhu's past smiley36


Haan but remember in one scene Mehul says you didn't even know I had another wife and family or words to that effect? That's why I thought she didn't know about Parul before she shows up at her doorstep.



Tell me one thing , even if lalitha massi comes n says she is parul's sister, how will kunal get affected if he dosent know anything smiley36


She knew Parul was pregnant na and wanted to name her son Kunal? Toh sawal toh aayega hi! And more people who know the secret, more chances of it coming out!



Nidhi doesn't enjoy a special place in house either smiley36 Parul just handles her because nidhi can't control her words , otherwise parul always had a position below nidhi....that was like last option that parul used, that she will bring out the truth , obviously as a mother she felt the injustice done to her son ...that wasn't a sign of mutual agreement, rather a way to plea for help, that I am left with no option , you got to help me


Just by reading how Nidhi used to react to Parul in the initial episodes I was thinking that. She had more of a friendship with BB than Nidhi. I know Nidhi doesn't have any position either - I can't imagine not having a say in choosing your daughter's groom!!


Haan I know, I'm saying BB's ego can't handle the fact that she got blackmailed like that.



Of course they aren't, in the LU thread also I wrote that we can hate KVJ Gang for many reasons but they are quick to decode meenu and they aren't completely wrong in expressing their insecurities.


Jo aise sochte hain, unko similar soch ka toh pata chalna hi hai!!! 😊



Wait smiley36 Aage aur bhi chances milenge words wapas lene ke , abhi toh party shuru Hui hai smiley36


😆 Aapki sasuma ko aap acchi tarah jaanti hain, chalo accept kar liya 😃. I do fall for Meenu a lot when she behaves nicely. As Abhi says, rose colored glasses hum pehente hain toh Meenu kya karegi? 🤣



Just a simple question, why would meenu want red pear to be transferred to mishti? She wants mishti to be accepted ...how can you make someone feel accepted by taking someone's hard work from him , also today meenu said that mishti never made a place in meenu's heart , in that case what was the real purpose to hand over red pear to mishti ?


That was a calculated move to create problems between the sisters. She didn't expect Mishti to give the company back to Kunal.

That's what I am saying daya , meenu kept everything in her hand , property , house , decisions, authority, didn't let koslu n family shine at all , at the end they aren't in a position to demand their haq cuz there is nothing left for them smiley36 We are forgetting koslu n family were real rajvanshs, raja ka beta raja haan , naanu ka beta koslu and koslu ka beta atul smiley36


😆 Oh I agree. She even had ba's necklace, which she used to create more differences. If she wasn't trying to create differences, I don't think she will handover anything at all. She prefers the control that comes from having everything in her name. This is probably one of the reasons Abir doesn't work in the company, and has his NGO all separate.


Its good as saying that just because parents provide you good education and lifestyle , you need to be obliged to them for life and let them control you and you should be okay with that because oh well that makes me self confident and high maintained ? I guess kunal worked hard for it too , he studied well , got the best of grades , helped meenu to expand the business...aap aise keh rahe ho jaise kunal nalayak ho aur usse yunhi mil gaya sab ....the day kunal came out of his meenu ka munna mode and started thinking independently, meenu's attitude changed cuz obviously she lost a bakra a good listener now smiley36 Listener became an intelligent speaker...


Of course he did, but I'm saying Meenu could have made it impossible for him to get to that point if she really wanted to. Kunal's mehnat is there for sure, but the opportunities that Meenu provided also have to be acknowledged. It is true that parents provide it, then aren't we accepting Meenu acted as his parent there?


my views must be quite harsh on meenu but yeah I do feel that's her style


Oh I'm sure I'm going to have to swallow some more words and opinions as the show goes on and we see more of Meenu 😆🤣 Guruji se harne mein kaisi sharam 😆

Hi... This is Sonia. I mostly come to this forum for updates but this post compelled me to pen my thoughts on THE Meenakshi Rajvansh without whom this show wouldn't have been what it is.


Meenakshi Rajvansh is an accomplished woman, yet a victim to her own delinquent choices. This woman runs so many layers deep that her character is one of the most intriguing one on the show.


According to me Meenakshi Rajvansh was not always this vilely woman that she is now.


1. She was always this headstrong woman who fought for her choices and so she went against her father to marry the love of her life. The love who betrayed her, cheated her father and scarred her for life. He ripped her faith in love forever. While narrating her back story, she mentioned about Mehul spending too much time away. This might have her triggered her brains to think that had she been the woman in control and kept a leash on her husband, her husband wouldn't have forayed. Thus, she steeled herself to become this control freak that she is now so as to keep a tab on everyone around her. So that nothing could ever take her off guard after that.


2. By what I have seen and understood of Meenakshi, she believes in trampling and finishing her enemies once and for all. She wouldn't have shouldered their responsibility with that motive, I guess.


To give a perspective, years back, when Meenu was finding her footing and coming to terms with the shocking truth of her husband, Parul landed on her door. Meenakshi is not one of those who would have resorted to a sadistic pleasure of turning Parul to be her slave and in turn be reminded of her unfair fate every waking hour. So I don't think she had ulterior motives then.


Back then, all of a sudden she was had to look after an ailing father, a younger brother, a toddler son and a business that was in ruins. In Parul, the then broken woman, might have found an friend, companion and confidante. She might have come across the reflection of her own pain in Parul and the two woman became each other's sahara. The two woman were both somewhere guilt ridden. One had made a wrong choice and had to work doubly hard to get the business and her family rolling while the other might have been guilt laden of being the other woman... none at fault, yet both tied by circumstances, they assumed their roles in the family.


But the equation remained clear... Parul was a parchayi... her existence was depended on Ben Ba!


3. I don't believe her affections towards Kunal were completely fake but her obsession to control him could have been indirectly related to her desire of keeping Abir in her control. To keep Kunal away from Parul, she might have become so protective about Kunal that his existence reduced to being Meenu Ka Munna! While Kunal became more like Meenu, her own son drifted away from her, which she didn't realize until too late. Over the time, Kunal also became a link that kept Meenu connected to Abir as Kunal was Abir's anchor in the house. Lets not forget, besides Kunal, no one tried resolving the issues between the mother and the son.


4. Log kya kahenge has always been Ben Ba's concern. The girl who defied her father for love was definitely not the one who cared about society. However, may be after her marriage failed and she had to be the single mother, it might have been an uphill task for her to gain that respect and stature in her personal and professional spheres. Thus, she keep building the charades of perfection in front of the whole world pushing back the skeletons in her own cupboard. No wonder, with Maheshwari's she wanted to inflict public disgrace upon them as according to her that was the worst way in which she could have avenged Mishti's 'Public' rejection of Kunal.


5. When Mishti came along, first time in many years Meenakshi Rajvansh was not just challenged but was defeated time and again in her own game. And that led to her abhorrence of Mishti. To add to her woes, her armour became Mishti's knight and the battle rose to another level. As a mother she wished to be the most important woman in her son's life but now that place was being occupied by Mishti and that fueled her hatred. The scorned woman who was betrayed by her husband was woken up again when she realized that her son loved her enemy. Presence of another woman who was more important than her in her son's life was impermissible. It was now that she realized how far her son had gone from her.


6. Meenakshi Rajvansh never owned her mistakes. Whether it was her decision to marry Mehul or her role in instigating Kunal to ruin Kuhu's life or to spike Nishant's drink. Truth be told, she is delusional. "Its all for family", a lie she has reiterated for so long that she probably believes in it now and that stops her from admitting her own fallacies. Hiding behind her oaths to Ambe Ma... she started dictating her will on her family making everyone a puppet to her tunes. In the process, she made it all so claustrophobic that her free-spirited son slipped further away. But in her quest to power, she turned a blind eye to it all.


Despite all this, Meenakshi isn't that quintessential antagonist that you can loathe to your heart's content. She takes me through a myriad of emotions towards her... and rarely its hate. Because, underneath this sinister woman, there is still that wronged woman whose vulnerabilities and insecurities are expressed through desperate means. Beneath her charades there is the same woman who provided shelter to Parul... a stable future to her son... the woman who brought up a gem like Abir... the woman who stood by Mishti during Varun fiasco... the mother who is disturbed when her son's fight... But this woman is also often shushed by the weathered and steeled version of her which is nearly obscure. Sadly, if she doesn't rescues herself from her stronghold of hate soon, she will be the cause of her own mighty downfall.


Last but not the least, sorry for the long post 😊

Same here 😆 I really love her as a villan, she is the most intelligent one on the block hands down and I love the way she manipulates ppl 😆 bas she underestimates the strength of mishbir's love and that's where she loses her fights 😆


They didn't show how ketki dealt with a broken heart, she was just present in ganpati pooja with no dialogues, this is where I find the show going weak , there is no consistency and the new track has no connection with the old track 😆


Haaa ,tagline suits meenu 😆

Pehli vaat Main Meenakshi rajvansh hoon

Ane biji vaat

Everything is not what it seems mishti 😆


I just read your previous reply. Great points about how meenu might have manipulated Parul, Kunal, Koslu and Nidhi. In her obsession to control people, this woman thinks so far ahead. We gotta give her the due credits for always thinking 2 steps ahead 👏 A show always needs a smart villain and no one can beat our big ben in planning and plotting (I don't mind that she underestimates mishbir's love because we need that to foil meenu's plans)


Yeah seems like we care and think about the show and characters a lot more than the writers. I dont think anyone even remembers atul. Soon naanu will join that club 😭

Last but not the least, sorry for the long post 😊

Sorry Sonia, couldn't keep up with the thread and hence missed your post , m glad something inspired you to break your silence and participate though 😃 welcome 🤗


I absolutely agree with all your pointers and infact these were my exact thoughts too at one point of time unless I started analysing on ground level and figured out there is more substance over what we see as form - meenakshi rajvansh ! There are more darker layers to her personality than we assume.


1. 100% agree to this point, in fact I applaud meenu , she single handedly managed to get rid off the creepy baba and she managed to solve her problems like a pro , however this incident had sown the seeds of control and protection in her mind which is now her uncontrollable obsession...sometimes our mind becomes our biggest enemy and we don't even realise, thats the case with her


2. I absolutely disagree , finishing her enemies all at once is not her style, if that was the case she wouldn't have gone for rishta exchange but have directly said no to kuhu's rishta and have ended the matter then and there only, she wouldn't have accepted mishti in front of ambe maa , made her the bahu and then plan to endanger her position in the family...so killing her enemies all at once is not her style clearly

Please have a look at this perspective also , i will be glad

I don't know if you remember this scene, parul was sleeping and she had nightmares on how her life was when she was pregnant with kunal, she was attacked by goons in her village, who sent those goons? They can't be village ppl , when mishti went to rajgadh, we saw how lalitha massi, that Pandit ji and village ppl seemed to be fond of parul , no one blamed her , they all blamed mehul , then why was parul attacked , o have high doubts its meenu who did it , we know how meenu's brain works daya , nafrat kisi aur se , badla uske relative se , she had problem with mishti's attitude and the way she dumped kunal , she took revenge from kuhu by asking kunal to make her fall in love trap and leave her at the mandap ? Kuhu is mishti's sister and by giving pain to kuhu , she wanted to give pain to mishti, similar thing works here , nafrat mehul se thi , badla parul se liya gaya

You yourself imagine , an uneducated woman having no idea about how bad the society can be, pregnant with a kid, gets attacked by goons comes to rajkot only to get the news that her husband was involved with another woman , and then she gets this offer to leave everything and stay in rajkot for her safety ...do you call it an event of mutual agreement or a string case of coercion...If it's a mutual agreement, why parul never informed her sister about her whereabouts, why was she separated from her closed ones ?

Also why is parul kept as a servant in RV house, why not as a distant relative...why was she never encouraged to get educated and work for herself...who is going to question meenu if parul was here as a relative , why give her this position in the house, was that a genuine help ? Are you sure? Abir wasn't wrong when he asked why parul is kept as a servant




3. Agreed ,in a way she was sticking to kunal all the years because that was her road to abir, she never considered kunal a manzil , he was always a zariya to get to abir, or a zariya to fulfill her family motives, otherwise which mom readily throws her son under the bus , requesting kunal to marry to kuhu because she doesn't wish abir to know their game plan , that day I realised this woman has her priorities set , as audience we took our time to decode , she may have some affection for kunal since they stayed together for years but that's all

the threat letter she wrote to mishti, meenu wrote "mera ek lauta beta abir mujhse dur chala gaya " ...mera ek lauta beta abir, that says it all smiley16smiley36smiley44even if she has affection for kunal, she can keep that aside and throw him under the bus anyday anytime smiley14 now toh she takes direct digs at him , her hidden motives are quite evident I guess



4. True , but that also baffles me when she openly asks her son to remarry for a kid , that time she doesn't think duniya wale kya kahenge 😆 its upto her own convenience I guess


5. True , those insecurities triggered in her again and since mishti brought baba back, she became the one to take the brunt as well , wish she had been more open to abir about how baba was , some communications done on time would have made them avoid the whole baba jhamela all together , neither abir gave up nor she decided to speak up , destiny gave her the chance but she chose to use it to break mishbir, she lost abir in real sense that day itself and now toh its irredeemable with the latest dhoka she gave him 😆 she still believes she is doing it protect him and give him happiness , that makes her quite obsessive and delusional in my eyes, I also feel she just helped mishti in varun track cuz abir was equally involved she was time and again shown telling mere bete ko main kuch nahi hone dungi , she knew In order to save, she had to save mishti...or may be she accepted with a hope that waaris will end her long lasting battles but yeah 😆


6. Absolutely


Totally agree on the last sum up as well , in the end she is not the typical antagonist and she still isn't, the interesting personality in her character is maintained, someone who loves to follow her in the show, I strongly believe her character is not altered but been pushed to higher level of extremes, that's Meenakshi rajvansh uncut version for you all , who has now gone high on her obsession, who used to control everyone's mind but now her mind has started controlling her in the worst way possible


Hope someday she comes out of all this


Kudos to rupal ji for taking up such an interesting character, she is more interesting and entertaining than mishbir and kuku combined 😆
