You know Gowri, I have been reading things here and there. Aparna also mentioned about showing Anandi as a professionally strong woman while having a happy family life.
The way I see it, every person is different. And the life that each girl leads is different.
I evaluate Anandi in the light of the person she is and the upbringing she has had.
Under these circumstances, where it was always drilled in her head that husband's house is your ultimate destination and keeping his house people happy is your ultimate aim, she has come a long way.
She rebelled against customs and traditions that shackled women because she could not understand why women had to be degraded to such an extent.
But she would not have gone out of her way, neglecting family and family life, neglecting her husband in pursuit of career goals.
We saw that she has capabilities and has the mental strength to excel. But she needs extenuating circumstances to reach goals that require her to overlook the needs of her in-laws.
But when push comes to shove, she can and will surge ahead in life (provided the writers allow her to).
But for her, with husband by her side, who was so supportive, earned well, gave her a good life, enabled her to stand on her own feet, there was no way she would have taken any steps to go beyond the absolute necessary.
But now she should get the opportunity to show the stuff she is made of. Yes Shiv will not be around to see her success, but she would never achieve success with Shiv around.
