This is just a general comment in here and I'll state at the outset that I haven't read every comment. Came across a few and wanted to throw my two cents out there with regards to those. Some people have brought up the fact that women are so suppressed in this nation that their only duty after marriage in many households becomes taking care of the house , the children , the elders , the chores , which is so effing true. For most of them it's not as much a choice as it's an expectation of others that they have to fulfill. For most of them that's what life after marriage is about. Now let me make one thing clear , I have the highest respect for the homemakers out there. I have always felt at times as to how women who are homemakers don't get enough credit. But for a lot of them like I said it ain't as much as choice as it's the choice that the society makes for you. So yes , women indeed are suppressed in our country. And this ain't just a rural phenomenon. This is very much a urban phenomenon too. Hell why just that one aspect , female infanticide is still very much prevalent here. Then there's the whole aspect of Khap panchayats where "village adults" get to effing decide who you should marry and who you shouldn't! So patriarchy is entrenched into the system here.
I pointed out the above because I wanted to say I agree with the folks who raised those points. If you compare the two scenarios here i.e IF this is true , of course Aishwarya will come across as far better because "at least" she doesn't have to deal with that crap. While that is true , it doesn't make this kind of behavior from her FIL (again IF it's true) right either. It's hypocrisy of the highest level considering he has done every kind of role out there.
If anyone has a right to an opinion here apart from Aishwarya , it's her husband , not in the sense that he should tell her what to do , but in the sense that these are discussions that should be between them and not between her and her FIL. I remember Kareena saying something about this aspect after she married Saif. That they have discussed it so it's a conversation that should be left to the couple and not to the entire family. And I'd say it even if Abhishek was the one we were talking about here , that if anyone has a right to an opinion in that case , it'd be Aishwarya and not his father or mother! It ain't effing affecting them at all.
