It just struck me.. whatever happens further, Smrita stands to lose the most.
If their marriage survives Smrita's attitude, Raanav will have to take a stand against his mum and probably, even move out.
If they go their separate ways, Smrita would be the chief architect of the project and I doubt Raanav is going to overlook that.
Either ways, she's going to end up alienating her son AND upsetting her husband in this pursuit of her ideal DiL!
The ways people hurt their loved ones, in the name of love..
