Manju a Sauteli maa.. - Page 3

I will add myself to the long list of people who despise Manju's actions.

Deep down inside, she is a mother and loves her children. But at some point, it stopped mattering. The son's marriage and happiness was important. Simi's marriage, and that of Mili and Nitu, are stressful and miserable for her. She views their marriage in the way many Indian people do--a burden.

Manju is willing to pimp out her daughter (forgive the language) to just get it done. Nothing has worked for Simi, and she is making no proactive effort to change slightly, if it's the right thing to do. Nor does she show all that much interest, quite frankly. (prior to RB and all the complications)

Simi is a good person, again a self-sacrificing daughter 😡. All that has happened in the past (marriage proposals not working out) has hurt her deeply, and I do not understand how Manju does not see this in her daughter. It would break my heart to see my daughter in that situation.

Manju has proven herself to be a unyielding witch. To say those hurtful things over and over again is not to be tolerated. How can you blame your daughter for the horrible things that have happened TO HER? How can you blame her for not wanting a depraved pervert as her husband?

Sometimes, I wish Simi would respectfully and firmly say something to her mother. It is way overdue.

i completely agree...high time sum1 tells her all this on her face..whether simi or mili or their dad....

oh my gosh i read today's update manju is just pure dumb, she actually blessed that evil rajeev, that just proves is the lady can't be simi's birth mother. that was a very low act on manju's part, how can you bless some one who tried to rape your daughter, sorry mind my language,but is just pure sick
sethi ji needs to admit his wife to mental institute asap, as this woman has no sense of morals or self respect
plus i feel it was very wrong on creatives part to add this scene in the show, as no mother would bless a beast,who has no respect for women
creatives are going over the top with manu's evilness

please lets not be so judgemental...a mother is allowed to be harsh and that doesnt mean she is a suateli ma...she has full right to do this. more importantly...as i perceive it Manju is just a normal hassled mother ...she is not trying to pawn off her daughter to whoever comes her way...she is logically worried about their future. her husband is toooo idealistic so she only has to worry about practical issues like marriage of children

i think she is a wonderful mother who is just stuck in a helpless situation

not being judgemental seen many mum's of my mates & cousins, some are strict, some cool & some backwards like manju,but none are as vile as this wicked witch from hell

but sorry so far her character is nothing but a vile bully, who is obsessed with the ideology of daughter being 30 & single, that to her it seems like after 30 there is no life, how pathetic
maybe if she stopped being so harsh & vile toward simi, then simi could have had more self confidence & had lot more proposals

but no mother should go to the extant of insanity, the way manju does,by keep taunting her daughter about her weight,that is just a disgrace, if some one can marry you manju, then your daughter is far better than you, so surely she will find some one loving & caring,who will give her the love,support,reassurance & comfort that you her so called mother never bother giving,

so i don't feel sorry for manju,only emotion i have towards her is to slap her hard & tell her to stop your taunting & let simi find her own prince charming

To clarify my point she did not want her to marry RB after knowing what he did.. if any one remembers she slapped him on the jagratha day.. the only problem she had was the way it ended and finally what the other lady's were saying it hurt her so much that she lost her conscious.

Manju sure does want Simi to marry Rajiv. When she first heard the news she was devastated, but she is so weak-minded that her initial anger towards him has all but disappeared. And for what reason? Her gossipy neighbors. Manju has essentially decided that having her daughter marry a pimp and a rapist is better than having a single but independent daughter. I'll tell you something: I am 25 and happily single, and if anyone ever went chattering about me in front of my mother, she wouldn't leave them in peace!

There is a world of difference between tough love and abuse, and Manju's treatment of Simi amounts to abuse. She taunts her, criticizes her, belittles her, insults her, humiliates her, and degrades her. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS. There is no such thing as "lovingly" abusing someone. My brother is overweight and my parents mention it to him, but they do it in a way that expresses genuine love and concern...not because they are embarrassed by him, or worried what society thinks. Manju is embarrassed by Simi. She considers her to be a burden that does nothing but bring shame to the family. Any good mother would be thrilled to have an educated, intelligent daughter like Simi. Only a wretch like Manju would want an ignorant, illiterate daughter so she could pawn her off on a rat like Rajiv. Not once has Manju considered Simi's own happiness.

She is not just doing this because she knows the world can be a cruel place. A good mother teaches her children how to stand their ground and stay strong when the world is cruel. When the rest of the world is cruel, the one person a girl should be able to count on is HER MOTHER. What difference does it make to Simi if society is cruel when her own mother is so vicious? Just look at the effects of Manju's bitter words. Simi is a compassionate, pretty, intelligent young woman who sees absolutely no good in herself. Even she believes she is nothing but a burden. She acts like an old woman when she is still so young.

God bless Abhi for respecting Simi more than she respects herself. I hope he offers her the love and support that she is not getting from her mother.

I beg to differ on one thing, that Manju is a great but hasseled mother. I actually think her treatment of Simi is mental abuse. Simi at some point needs to use the head that she has, and stand up for herself without crossing her limits with her mother.
Why is it so hard for women in these serials to say something, anything about how they feel or what they want. I am soooo SICK of these "good daughters, wives, etc." who sacrifice themselves willingly and are praised and held in high esteem for it.

I am not liking the story. Sorry.

this discussion can go on for ages widout a conclusion..i personally feel manjuji shud b a little more sensitive towards her flesh and blood and less swayed away by wot the society says..doosri baar bhi aisi aurat ko lekar aayi who seems like mrs. bhalla part 2..yaar daughter is unmarried to kya kisi bhi item se shadi kara deni hai???
