I don’t know if others feel this too, but I genuinely feel like Radhi’s character arc has been slowly shifted in Season 2.

From being introduced as a hardworking, independent, decision-making woman, she now often feels like a character who mostly reacts to what others tell her.

And it shows in multiple situations:

When Vijay told her not to come near Rina, she stopped going to the hospital completely

But when Dev told her to go, she suddenly changed direction and followed that

Even regarding surgery for Rina, she didn’t confidently assert her own decision — she hesitated and deferred

It feels like her character is increasingly shaped by:

“Who is telling her what to do in that moment”

instead of:

“What Radhi herself believes is right”

And that’s why it feels like her original strength has been diluted.

Earlier Radhi felt like someone who:

took responsibility

made tough decisions even under pressure

stood firm when it mattered

But now, she often appears emotionally pulled in different directions, reacting instead of leading.

I’m not saying she has to be “perfectly strong” all the time.

But the shift from independent decision-maker → emotionally reactive follower feels noticeable.

And the biggest concern is:

Is this intentional character writing to show her emotional breakdown… or is her strength being quietly reduced in the story?

Because Radhi’s potential as a character always felt like it was in her ability to stand firm even when everything around her collapses.

​

When Vijay thought the baby died, he stayed away because of guilt and pain. Most people understood his silence and said he was broken.

But when Radhi couldn’t immediately hold Rina or get close to her after she came back — because she was carrying years of guilt, fear, and trauma — suddenly she became “selfish” or “heartless”.

Isn’t that the same guilt in two different forms?

One person distanced himself after losing a child he never got to know.

The other distanced herself from the child she had already loved, carried, and left behind with her own hands.

I’m not saying either of them were completely right. But it’s interesting how easily we empathized with one… and judged the other.

Maybe her silence was not lack of love. Maybe it was fear, guilt, and the feeling that she didn’t deserve to be called a mother anymore.
