Hi Chinyere, yes, you are entitled to feel the way you do. I respect it. 😊 And I bet there are people out there who think like you.
But when I made that statement, modern twist means Sona does not join the bandwagon of the working bahus and bully Neelam around, au contraire , her character takes it upon her to do the opposite from what the mom in law wants and try to bring about some changes in the dysfunctional family. She goes against the mom in law but politely in the hope of changing the mum in laws mentality for the better. unlike the other dramas where the mom in law dictates everything. Besides, have you read the writters interview ? It was something along the lines of the plot is your traditional saas bahu family BUT with the bahu coming in and going against some of the traditional norms of that household. And the traditional norm of that household is brought about by the rather dysfunctional family members ie: the greedy mom in law, the bribe loving son in law etc and how Sona's character goes about in trying to change them for the better. The plot was never about a modern family and their ways of life. If thats what you are after, then yeah this serial may not be for you then.
My friends here in Australia seem to like the series too. Everyone has one thing to say, thank god this serial makes you laugh coz it mocks the silly behaviors of the dysfunctional family. I dont think the writer wants people the take dysfunctional-ness seriously. Its there for the gags and also part of the story line. Also, for once, everyone doesnt go around scheming and plotting against everyone else. Yes the gas cylinder was some form of scheming but it only happened once. And thank god there was also that episode where Sona told Devika that fairness creams DONT work ! LOL ! And being fair is not everything.
I hope I clarified the modern twist bit hun.
