Son had agreed to abide by HER wishes in the marraige , Saachi was HER choice , not his . But she became more and more controlling and crossed her limits when she tried to force her principles on him . He has started rebelling . When it becomes a clash of principles , the chasm between a difference of opinion widens . What Sumitra wants is the son to eat well , live a life of luxury and find joy in being the Shekhar puppet always keeping Anandi's happiness in mind and give up his rather naive principles and all those stupid thoughts of helping abused women etc . This is the BEST life for him and she will decide it , not him , he doesn't know anything . She and Saanchi have teamed up coz both in their own way want to control Jagya .
Mind blowing thoughts Kools.
Two things you mentioned stand out more than others for me.
@ red. So true. The family never asked her to protect them. In fact they are willing to put their lives on the line. Why is she imposing her morals on them? As some here said that Jagya shouldn't impose his morals on Sumi, so too Sumi cannot impose her rights on others. As Sumi has rights to decide whether she wants to help Ganga or not and the extent to which she will help, so too the rest of the family has their own rights too.
@ green. This particular line got me thinking that when Anandi was doing her samaj seva even in private capacity before sarpanch days, helping others, not once did Sumi discourage or stop her and I'm wondering if it was because Anandi wasn't her blood. So her silence then was just taken as support. Now before I get attacked, let me explain that this thought just occurred to me with no desire whatsoever to insult or attack Sumi. No intent there, just curiosity. This line in green, actually the whole sentence gave me food for thought. Want to weigh in Kools?
