I think Priya Sood is the maximum we can get on ITV. Forget about holding grudges and being selfish , if a FL as much as dares to give it back to the people who have wronged them, the audience become so aggressive...
I had started to watch Kuch Rang new season... The amount of hatred Sonakshi got just because she chose herself for one day , went to her fathers house to get some sanity.. The amount of moral policing people did , I was just taken aback....
I abruptly stopped watching the show..
The typical mentality of ITV audience is ML ko saath khoon maaf hain , but there is long checklist of do's and don'ts when it comes to FL. How she should dress up, how she should speak, if she happens to be angry there is only a permissible limit of shouting allowed, anything beyond would become unacceptable.
And how to forget mother-in-law, no matter how much unethical tortures she does, the DIL still has to behave politely, and worst is call her Maaaaa.
I am glad that the makers have dared to show Priya's reluctance in calling Nandini Ma. You can't just accept someone as your own mother , the very second you get married.
If Priya continues addressing her MIL as Nandini ji in future episodes , I don't know how much hatred she would invite...
Meera would force her to call Nandini Maa quoting Ram..
Ram has found motherly love and warmth in Meera , hence he wants to call her Maa. But Priya deserves to take her own time , until she finds the right vibes with Nandini , it is completely okay if she doesn't want to call her Maa at this point of time.
But I am happy makers atleast showed Priya's discomfort.
