I have a friend whose mom did not like her BF, she spend a lot of time making sure her mom and BF spend quality time together so the mom finally got to see what she sees in this guy and why he is right for her. There are people in the western culture who takes family very seriously too.


@Absolutely Rach thanks for mentioning it actually slipped my mind as i was writing down, imagining the agony those parents might undergo, probably cursing themselves that there was something wrong in their love and upbringing that their children have turned their backs on them.

Asking approval from your parents is a honorable thing to do. If you can convince them, then great. Usually parents do come around and will accept your choice. If not it is your choice to get married to your love and lead your life. At that point you should not expect your parents to accept your spouse with open arms. You pretty much decide at that time if you want to loose your family or loose your love. In Jagya's case it is not like any lovers. According to his parents Jagya's spouse is still living in the same haveli and very much his wife. Expecting them to bless his new love is too much to ask for any parents. Jagya knew about this, so he didn't want to go to haveli for blessings.
Yeah now he is staying in the haveli since dadisa asked him to. Where was he when dadisa had begged to stay back and work for the hospital which she had built for him with so much love? At that time he didn't stay back he went ahead with his Mumbai plan. Now why sudden change of heart to stay back on dadisa's request. Yeah I forgot, he is broke. 😆 He needs money from the family, so wants to stay back and get back to dadisa's good terms, milk money from her so that he can spend lavishly in Mumbai.

hmm , when veer took that decision , it was named smart move, i also said that, i supported that, infact no family members knew abt that marriege , still i never saw any objection there😊
oh j is a cheater, but he told abt his decision of marrying g, , his parents did not like it though he tried to convince them , so he gave up, simple, u think he did wrong, i dont ,
he had to choose between gauri and his parents, he choose gauri, uski marzi
he had broken his relationship with a and then tied the knot with gauri,so i dont think he commited a blunder here
reg the aashirwaad business, they r trying , they r perfectly aweare that family memebers might not accept,so ok they willk go back if they dont approve, dadisa has asked them to stay there, thats why they r staying , zabardasti nahin reh rahe hain koshish karne mein koi buraai nahin,

1) bold black, i hv told neither situation is same nor the parents were of same category. i told my objection is in J situation and with parent like Jagias. Veer took bold decision, becoz Ichha was accepted Bahu and only by cheat he was seperated. he hd divorced with her CHEATER WIFE and Ichchha was widow. if any objection wd hv been only on the basis of Widow marriage, which i support and this marriage gave a social marriage. in Jogia situation, if it wd hv been shown incompatibility of this child marriage. J&A were not comfortable with each other, and thn showed tht J fall for other girl and his family were just tried to force him to stick with this marriage on the basis of child marriage, thn i wd hv supported him, as it wd hv given some social message. but here the situation, after going honeymoon, celeberating SR and showing so much love scenes between thm, it was absolutely different, its just a case of adultery, reason was explained so many time and i dont want to repeat.

2) Bold blue, i m not trying to convince u, becoz neither u can convince me nor i can convince u😆. i never even try to convince any fan group, becoz it just useless. i just put my point. u just asked and i replied😆

3) bold red, ya he choose gauri uski marzi, and i criticize him ye hamari marzi😆😆 and pls dont say tht i sd not interfare anyone life, becoz J is not real character and reel characters r created to be discussed😊

@woman11, thts wht i hv told in my previous reply to Anmol, before reading ur post, we cant compare all situation with each other. if parents oppose just for their narrow mindness (such parents exist), thn going against their will is not bad, but even in tht situation u sd hv first try to convince thm and not just revolt. revolt sd be last option. In jogia situation Jogia parents r even more respectable like ur uncle, becoz they r not a good parents but also a good human being who hs their principles and ethics and values, who can go against thier own blood for justice to a girl👏👏 having such parents, if anyone behave like Jogia, he is real kaput, a worst son, some one like Bhairaw deserve.😡

well said ankit!!!ClapClap⭐️⭐️⭐️it all depends on the situations & type of parents. even i've given e.g of "laado" serial on colors channel!! now if u've such type of family then no1 except these type of ppl oppose the way of marriage as done by shaurya & dia in that show!!ClapClapClap
and in UT veer-icchha's case was difft. both were in luv from the begining & taps by blackmailing icchha married fraudly 2 veer & that was not acceptable 2 veer & no1 can see any harm in his objection. and later-on wen icchha got married 2 vansh then both of them &esply icchha always remained faithful 4 vansh & even asked veer 2 4get her but veer cudn't as he knew taps evil nature & no1 can live such an evil prsn!!🤢🤢and they never cheated their partners. they got married only after vansh died & veer got divorce from taps.
and if sum1's spouse is bad or evil or abusive or obsessive or isn't ready 2 change their bad habits then a prsn's remarriage is understandable even if their parents oppose it!! ClapClapdidn't Sanyogita got married 2 Prithvi raj chauhan by eloping wid him? didn't Rukmni eloped wid Lord Krishna against her bro's wishes(though her father wants it)??
and here in J's case its called adultery & not right 2 choose.🤢🤢🥱🥱and really J is a kaput & he doesn't understand the luv & care of his parents & even his spouse who always sacrificed 4 him each & everything & even took bullet 4 him!!Angry🥱🥱

I believe one must respect one's parents and parents are irreplaceable...no one can do so much for you, as much as your parents do.

BUT, it does not mean that parents own an individual's life and that a person should do things only in accordance with their parents' wishes. Years ago, even choosing a profession of one's own choice was considered disobedience and disrespect to parents. But now we see people slowly changing their attitude and letting their kid explore his own career interests.

I don't exactly support Jagya's decision to marry Gauri. But sticking to his previous marriage only for the sake of his parents is not right.

What would have happened if J had not openly married Gauri and brought her to his home? He could have kept coming back home from time to time and given a false impression to A and his family - that he's happily married to A, while continuing his affair with G in the city! Or he could have married both and kept shuttling between village and city to keep both girls under a false impression! Majority of men do these things!🤢

It's good that at least J left A and didn't try to sail in two boats!

If parents are responsible for a person and they shape a person's life...then I think somewhere they are also responsible in case their child does something wrong! Their upbringing has been faulty somewhere!

Sumitra was blissfully unaware of everything her kids did! She never knew that Sugna was secretly meeting and making out with with Pratap or that little Jagya was into gambling and sleazy magazines with pics of nude girls!🤢 What role has she played as a mother except pampering her kids?!

Bhairon was well meaning, but only in intentions. He failed to enforce discipline and give a solid moral base to his kids! Whenever he came to know of Jagya's or Sugna's ''deeds'' - it was always too late! Plus it is also DS' fault for not letting Bhairon go strict on J or punish him strongly for his grave mistakes. DS would feign heart /panic attacks the moment Bhairon tried to slap Jagya as a kid!😡
Grandparents are always possessive and over-protective about their grandkids, but at times parents must take a harsh step and reprimand the child in case he does something gross and goes in wrong direction! Bhairon's biggest folly was to yield to DS and Basant and stop disciplining his own kids, all for the sake of maasa! 🤢

Look at Gehna! She disciplines Nandu so well and reprimands him immediately if he acts too stubborn! At times she doesn't even yield if DS or Basant ask her to! In fact, Gehna was the first one to sense that Sugna was ''upto something'' with Pratap!

Parents or grandparents are equally faulty if they pamper a child too much and keep ignoring their kid's mistake as ''bachpana'' or ''jawani ki bhool''. 🤢

Jagya saw how DS kept bringing in new girls for his tausa Basant - his family members have not been positive role models!😡

He's already shown bits of grace by leaving Anandi and not attempting to keep both women and at least telling the truth openly to his family.

Parents or family members (like DS) are also equally to be blamed for a faulty upbringing and failure to give a solid sense of character and values. [Especially in case of Jagya in BV]

I think one must honour his parents and seek their approval and blessings, especially in choosing a life partner. But in case one's parents don't approve and he/she insists on marrying their ''love'', then they should be ready to pay the price and choose between two things - either family or their so-called ''love''. [Anyway, poor parents usually end up accepting everything sooner or later...and really possessive ones go the honour-killing way!]

In BV, anyone would have accepted J-G had J not been already married to A, and if he had not kept everyone in the dark for 5 years!

Lovely post Ankit, you brought tears into my eyes.

I have known only one type of parent, the one who selflessly loves their child no matter how much mistakes the child makes. They strive hard, work endlessly sacrificing their sleep and luxory just to see that their child is well looked after. They teach you right from wrong and give you all the ethics to make you a wonderful person. They give you all the education and comfort at the cost of their own to see a secure future for you. And what do they ask in return? All that they ask is that their sacrifices and love secure the future of their child. That is what gives them happiness and satisfaction. No other relationship I believe is as SELFLESS as that of a parent to a child. That's how I remember my parents and they continue to be the same even today. You are so true, one realizes the real value of their parents only when they are away from you. Since I do not live in India, I haven't seen my parents in almost 2 years. We talk almost every single day but I miss that one hug from them, that one touch from them. Nobody is as important in this world for me than my parents are not even myself and no matter what may come, I cannot imagine doing anything against their wishes or happiness. Sorry for getting emotional but I hold my parents at a very high level and could not stop myself.

Regarding being considered not modern if you keep your parents/family before yourself: Who defines modernity? Each family has their own set of values which they uphold with great importance. For me modernity is not based on the clothes you wear or the language you speak, it is rather based on how broad minded you are. Disrespecting parent's opinion and wishes is not in my books a sign of modernity but a sign of arrogance. In J case he completely disregarded his parents wishes, those parents who did everything for his happiness. When they have never imagined of hurting him, how can their wishes adversely affect his future? Parents definitly have much more experience than their child and hence they see situations in a broader frame than their child. In J case he was arrogant, adamant, immature coupled with being selfish. If they made the decision of getting married without informing the parents leave aside taking their permission, they need not do the drama of seeking their blessings after doing the act. That's being over smart and forcing your decision on them. If he wanted to get married to G there is a way of doing things. Anyway there have been many posts where we have discussed about how they should have gone about doing stuff and all the wrong things that they have done, hence I am not going to repeat it. In J case, its not only his parents but also his first wife who he needed to consider. They had a justification that instead of three lives being destroyed at least two can be saved. They found that logical since they both would have benefited out of it. But here their decision has affected the whole family which is true for any Indian joint family. But only if they thought beyond themselves would they have realized the repercussions of their actions.

Its easy to make a decision when others have to sacrifice but very difficult if you are the one who needs to be at the receiving end. When it comes to your own family or dear friends I wonder how one can be happy trampling over all their wishes and happiness.

🤗 I am very happy to see someone speak my mind especially the ones in red, I look forward to meeting my parents too every single day and I am meeting after 3 long years and there are no words to describe the love, affection and warmth on such a happy union, parents are the only people in this world who can love you unconditionally and will be your only well wishers without having any expectations in return for their love, they are after God, rather God is kind to us being with us in the form of our parents😃. God Bless Our Parents Forever😊.
