I feel ASHWINI is strong enough to stand up for herself and she should and she will. Even when Sai stands up for aai, when she is out in college, Ashwini is taunted . Until Ashwini puts her foot down and puts Ninad and kaku in place, IN FRONT of her son. Things won’t change.she should also stop protecting Virat from knowing the ugly truth of this family.
I love Ashwini as a character except when she gets influenced, I guess that’s human too. She should share her pain with Virat like she shares it with Sai. It’s easy for her to share it with Sai because she doesn’t want Virat’s relationship with his father to deteriorate, such a motherly instinct which has both pros and cons
PS I got serious too , someone please slap me @sukri , I give you this responsibility.
I know what you mean. I have been living away from my parents for years, so when I visit them and if I see anyone say anything out of line to my mom, I immediately give a retort. Usually my relatives don't say anything to my mom in front of me.
However I visit them only for few days/ weeks. Rest of the year my parents have to meet and deal with them, festivals/ puja/ health/ even general chitchat. They like hanging around with people their own age and no matter how much we try, they will hang out with their siblings and families, no matter how rude they behave sometimes.
So even if I say anything to my relatives, I make sure I say it without losing my cool or anything that look like an insult as I don't want them taking it out on my parents when I am not around by either boycotting them or being angry on them unnecessarily. So it is difficult to draw a line.
So I do understand why Virat has to do this. He is not going to take his mom everywhere he goes. She is going to live there. By fighting and arguing for her, they might go quiet when he is around ,but might double the torture when he goes away. So he needs to balance the relationship esp one of the person is his dad.
He needs to have one-to-one conversation with his dad, but even then his dad might think Ashwini made him do it.
@bold - bus kya, this is the best I can do 😆
