The RS - Neetu scene is my personal favourite and if done well it can tear up the person. It simple; just shows how much a father loves his daughter and wants to be there to help her in her time of need. RS is the kind of father who does what he can for his children. Neetu, while foolish, is so full of guilt and shame that she cannot forgive herself for her actions and feels terrible for letting her father down.
I think a touching scene would be for her father to visit her in the hospital when she has the baby to let her know that he is there for her and for him to see his grandkid.
Wow!! Laila, I was really blown out by this! It would definitely be a very touching scene. I know I have seen such scenes in films, and forget, but you bringing it out with Neetu case here is simply amazing!
It is Manju who disowns her daughter and never wants to see her because of the shame it brings on the family. I think if she meets her, it will be when Neetu is at Simi's house (Tarneja's or her own place). Rather than feel happy to see Neetu, Manju will tear into Neetu and insult and demean her. Simi will intervene with a Neetu leaving in tears. When Simi suggests to Manju to see the child, Manju's anger will further ensue along with her arrogance towards Vicky and his profession as a driver.It will only be untl Manju visits her daughters home (I have to figure out a reason here), that she sees hardship her daughter experiences, the drunken mother-in-law and her Neetu struggling to make ends meet. While she (Manju feels bad), she still cannot hold back but make some snide and below the belt comment. The strain in their relaitonship will always be visible and will take several meetings for Manju to forgive her daughter.
If the storyline progresses as you have put above, then yes, Manju will definitely behave this way. Like once I read in ramas' post - Neetu is like a lost child. Father loves all 3 daughters but he loves Simi more. Mother loves Anuj and Mili is the youngest and hence loved by all. But it is Neetu who is left out - like - na idhar ki na udhar ki. And Manju behaving that way is nothing out of ordinary. She is the one, who thought Simi should go ahead with marriage to RB knowing fully well what he was, just bcos of family honor.The writers can do so much with this storyline and I hope they use it well. I also hope they take in account the drinking problem of the mother-in-law and look into the concept of alcoholism, the problems that happen in relation to it and eventually see Vicky develop a similar problem. Alcoholism is an issue that is never discussed and is a problem in India. I think it would be a great area to explore.
I seriously think you should be in this profession! A lot of us, tell we can write better and find faults(critic) with the current written story but very few can really write like the way you are writing. Simply amazing!!
