At the onset, please note that this post is not meant to bash any character/actor/CV, etc. It is all about ME, what I feel, and what I hope for.
I would love it if this post doesn't turn into a verbal battlefield.

I don't know if this is the right place for such a post, but I was deeply saddened by the behavior of the Singhs last night.
For me, the adage "blood is blood" (and all other relationships water) was proven last night.
A girl who was wronged by the dictates of society all those years ago seems to have been forgotten by the lady who claims to be her mother.
Said lady just needed to get her own son back into her fold to seemingly forget the girl she claims to be her daughter. I will never forget the face she pulled when her husband took Anandi's name.
The Singhs seem to be hoist by their own petard. Their blind faith and love in their son follows a vicious circle. I do hope they are not setting themselves up for yet another round of dejection.
However, how is that so different from real life? Everywhere you look are examples of the in-law really being the out-law. There is no pleasing any of the two parties. Each positive step taken is regarded as due right, and every negative step taken (even mistakenly) is considered a crime.
No matter how badly behaved our progeny are, in public we only praise them (regardless of how we treat them in private). And, when that progeny's spouse arrives, we see negativity only in the spouse.
This is the story of innumerable houses. It is a classic story of a mother hen with her chicks. She just gathers those chicks under her wings and then sits on them to keep them safe from the big bad world. The rest of the whole wide world out there can take a walk, and see if she cares.
So, why am I sad when I know this reality? We are only being shown what we see everyday.
But, the thing is that BV is different. The story is different. The characterization is different. And our hopes from BV are different.
The Singhs have always been made out to be a larger than life family.
When DS was bad, she was really, really bad. I, for one, hated her to the core for what she did to choti Anandi. But when redemption arrived, few loved her more than I did (though I do accept she is capable of flipping cartwheels at any given time).
Sumi was the sweet one, taking the place of Anandi's real mother, loving her, and nurturing her through her times of travail.
Bhairon was the ultimate, fantasy father - kind, loving, caring, not blind to the faults of his progeny, and capable of taking harsh stands.
Inspite of the face Sumi pulled yesterday, I am hoping (against hope) that the CVs do not denigrate her character and show her to be the proverbial mother-in-law.
Bhairon will pull through. I do not see him turning coat at all.
Ira, aah Ira, kaan ki kacchi though she is, I do not blame her for yesterday's anger in the precap. A newly wed couple does spend its first festivals in the boy's house. However, I am also praying that the CVs do not turn this track into one from a Kekta serial.
About Sanchi, I have nothing to say at all. She is a caricature.
So, all in all, as I look forward to doing another LU today, I wish that the CVs were just having an off day and we get to see what we long to see - a strong, sensitive story line, with easy-to-empathize-with characters, and a story that builds hope for the future in countless others.
PS: A strong dose of Ansh would, of course, be the icing on the cake. And, Jagya/Shriti Jha/Gauri fans, I wish that your (plausible) wishes all come true as well.
AMEN
[/QUOTE @ bold u answered to yr question... but i think we need to wait... don't jump to the conclusion😊 and 2ndly see the positive side...array when anandi will realise that as u said she is always come secondnext to jagia... to phir shiv ki ehmiyat ko achchi tarah samajh payeegi... and the main thing...when anandi needed them most they stood next to her and give her a husbend like shiv even she was not ready for marriage... is se jyada unse expect karna hi galat hai... coz as u said .she was their D-I-L...not daughter... and that is the hard-core reality😊
