well that is quite a relieving factor that there is atleast one sympathiser in aditya for khushi...infact he seems to draw strength from her as an individual...

from the description of the Gupta household it is quite obvious that the gupta brothers especially avinash and through him leelavati are the ones who r the pillars who everyone (includin gupta Sr)looks up to while leelavathi and through her avinash though a strong couple r puppets in the hands of Mardia Sr ...

so who is the pillar - is it aditya gupta who in this case draws strength from khushi

is it avinash and leelavati who r puppets in the hands of Mardia Sr...

or is it the extended family members khushi and Mardia Sr

- joint families always intrigued my imagination.. Many of my expat friends ask me how such traditions work in the modern world ? Not only Indians but Italians, spanish etc A classic 'too many cooks spoil the broth scenario' ... Egos matched and survived on a daily basis ? Am yet to find a suitable answer other than its a working formula of our excellent levels of tolerance 😉

to me it looks like a house built upon sand which has not seen floods come its way ... so all this while it was an all is well scenario...now the foundation of this joint family is going to be tested...will it survive the storm?? only time can tell

(if they every survive the who will be the true gupta scion????)

- the way you have understood is the exact essence I wanted to portray 👏... The ambanis' certainly did not survive ... But am pegging better odds for the Guptas' (fingers crossed)

thanx for the pm...pls continue soon 😃

SKji is downright an asshole ...i hated the way he was hailing insults at Khushi .Her being born was not her design...such a simple fact this man cannot fathom.

- Yeah ... keep the punches coming 😡

I was a little confused abt chap 9 ...that was from Arnav's POV right ??

Because chap 8 was all Khushi and that was in first person..then followed by chap 9 again in first person but Arnav..the switch between them was a little difficult to understand for me.

- I started the chapter 9 with' sharking' and 'family business of warehousing' to create the difference in POVs and substantiate the switch. Great comment because that made perfect sense to me but on retrospect I can see the confusion ... But shall try better in the ones to come 😉

Would you please make a family tree or something (please dont mind just my suggestion) ...there are so many characters i am getting confused ...but still am very much interested to read further.

- Please Keep the comments coming, should I put the family tree at the prologue or update at each update though ? Would love your feedback on the same? and stay tuned ...
