I agree to you Simmi. Even for marriage ceremonies the younger ones are asked to touch their elder's feet and I feel very awkward when my younger cousins or my hus's younger cousins does that. Leave cousins during thread ceremony even while kids try to touch my feet I feel uncomfortable. I prefer giving best wishes or hugging a lil one than allow them to touch my feet. But then elders don't allow and for ritual sake you need to do all these things.
So Dev's reaction was normal in the given circumstances.
@leavesandweaves I was not happy the way Durga kept fast for Suchitra's sake. But had to give to CVs for one thing. They didn't make Suchitra a typical saas who just ordered her bahu and sat back. She made her son come too. She did give Dev a piece of mind when she told he doesn't have any right to behave to Durga the way he does. He should have thought of all this before taking the step in the mandap. Dev needs to understand Durga is his wife now and Suchitra is doing her bit for the relation.
Also I was happy that Durga stopped Dayal from making call to Dev. It is better Dayal stopped talking about the deal with Dev and connect everything with that deal. A marriage has happened and for its sustenance respect and love is required, not business deals. It is better Dayal leaves that aspect to Suchitra than deal it himself.
Last but not least Durga was genuinely happy seeing Dev coming when Shaurya teased her she will have to break her fast with him.
So overall I was fine with the way things were carried out.
