I couldn't agree w/ you more. This show started off well, and was a pleasure to watch initially, due to this sweet girl who's so caring for the less fortunate, as well as a pillar of support for her family. Then the sadism of the script writers slowly started unfolding:

Mom acts like a real bitch in rigging the kundali, and turning back prospective grooms, instead of openly and maturely discussing w/ Jyoti her concern about what might happen to the family if she lets her get married; Brij, who started off well as quite a likeable guy, suddenly becomes a womanizer, and what's worse - when Jyoti defines limits for what he can do before they are married, he starts philandering around. Combined w/ Sachin, this was incredibly cruel to this girl - she could have had a nice, supportive Brij to provide her support while she supported everybody else, and instead, she's now going to go from supporting a handicapped father to supporting a handicapped husband, who even worse, is supposed to treat her like dirt while she is bearing his kid; Sushma, who started off okay, could have been shown to resist his advances, or develop her own relationship w/ the guy who showed interest in her. Instead, they show her allowing herself to rip up Jyoti's relationship, then breaking the law getting into an underage marriage, and probably an illegal abortion, then blowing the cover of the resentment that other family members (except Sudha) felt towards Jyoti, and now stealing Jyoti's job; Bro was a dirtbag from day 1, so won't complain here; Papa let her down by neither revealing to her that she was Padma's step-daughter, nor forcing Padma to treat her well; Now, Dada, who so far was loyal to Jyoti, looks like circumstances will force him to abandon her, since he does need to support his troupe. Not only is Jyoti right now floundering, but she looks like she'll lose her job Nothing will happen to Sushma. She now will have Jyoti's job and money, w/o the responsibility of supporting Padma, and since Brij has his job as well, there will be no reason to throw her out, other than to support his own philandering.
1. Re: the necklace, I'm guessing that Brij will pawn/sell it, and Sachin may indirectly end up owning it, and offer it back to Jyoti. Jyoti may decline it and give it to her dad, to be given to Sudha

I think I see how this is unfolding - since Jyoti loses her job, she's unable to support anyone, herself included, and would therefore feel compelled to marry Sachin, regardless of whether she feels ready for it or not, or what she thinks about Sushma's return to the troupe. From her facial expressions from the wedding pics, she looked pretty unhappy, and why not - betrayed as she was by everybody close to her. In a perfect situation, her family should be the ones giving her away: instead, the scene looked more like an eloped marriage rather than a traditional family kanya-daan where one family hands her over.

I have stopped watching this since last Friday, when she walked barefoot to sishu-mangal, and just read the updates. Like you, I too am angered by the unrelenting sadism of the script-writers. Going by record, I'm guessing, although hoping that it doesn't, that the serial will end w/ Jyoti's demise - probably from childbirth or related pregnancy complications, since these people have a fetish for milking tragedy and casting it as reality.

Yeah, bad things do happen in real life, but how often are they all combined synergistically the way they are here to make one's life a living hell? I'm hoping this hellish serial ends sooner rather than later.

One thing I didn't like the other day, when Sudha was trying to rally everybody to eat together, was how she kept addressing Padma as 'Ma'. She needs to get over that habit, and call her 'Masi' - Padma needs to know that the step-relationship works both ways.

so true..i want devika to take over...she has guts...if it was devika she probably would have pushed padma's face in the plate

I want Devika. I love all the Devika episodes to date - that's the main reason I watch. Particularly the one where she met Uday's mom, chatted w/ them, had ice cream and then, while getting home, confronted 'Irritating Oldie' Dadi, and giving her the shock of her life. Payback!!!👏

Of course, Devika also shocked Jyoti the night that she declined the milk - just ordered a shocked Jyoti to let her sleep, and to close the door behind her (poor Jyoti was zapped) Of course, Jyoti got back at her next time she caught her doing the Lord of the dance routine. My other favorite was Devika ganging up w/ that rickshawalla at Deepu, and asking him, "What, have you been thrown out of your house or something" the night after he was😆

However, looks like Kalpana might be close to figuring out that something is more seriously wrong than initially imagined: what struck me was how her blow-up @ Jyoti went unnoticed by Jyoti, even though she saw Sudha transform into Devika before her very eyes.😕😕😕

Oh, and I don't want it to be all Jyoti-Sachin vivaha - I want Devika to resurface, and this time, allow/up the ante on her relationship w/ Uday. I want it to escalate so that before Padma or Dadi even knows what hit them, she too is married and gone, just like Jyoti is. I hate Padma having this unpaid maid in the house. Just like her income will dry up (and I hope Sachin doesn't agree to bankroll them), her housework support should, so that either she has to do all the work, or later, Deepu & Sushma will have to pitch in as well. They can take back Sushma once Brij gets rid of her, which I think will happen this week, if not tomorrow.

P.S. Can someone put all the videos that feature Devika in a separate sticky thread? I saw as many as I could yesterday, but there seems to be gaps in the story that I missed, like when did Devika agree to be friends w/ Uday to the point that his club visits decreased?

One question - isn't Sudha still a student, or is she just a housemaid in Padma's house? What is she doing in the story - her Bachelors?
