You know, first when choti maa was introduced, I liked her, cause she seemed open
Then I disliked her because of her hostility to Jyoti. She was rude for no reason
But recently, after watching a few of the most recent episodes, i've started liking her again
I can kinda see a reason for all her actions.
She was suspicious of Jyoti, but she was never actually rude to her face. She just asked Uday to be vary of her, and that's legitimate
Then the whole work issue. There it seemed to me that she was a little insecure of Jyoti and her indipendence, but I can see what she meant. A newlywed bride working outside of the house when she clearly doesn't need to.
And now recently with the whole rakhee thing. She shouted at Jyoti for not caling, but she was only worried. She turned down Jyoti's choices in clothes and jewellry because she didn't want Pankaj to look bad in front of everyone.
And today, even though Jyoti didn't want, she sent a big basket of sweets to her house, because it would look bad if Jyoti, from a rich family, took hardly anything to her maayka
She made sure Jyoti went in a car so she could be comfortable, and maybe make it home safer
Choti maa may seem like a stinger, rude and arrogant, but she's really level headed and real
I just fear that when the whole Sudha-Devika thing comes out, she may not be as open to Uday's relationship with her

I think cm is a pretty complex character, but I happen to like her in a twisted sorta way, in that w/ her, the laws of unintended consequences turn out for the better. Like the other day, when Jyoti and Uday were discussing Devika's openness about her family, cm pointed out that w/ Jyoti too, nobody in the family had any idea about her (Jyoti's) family background until the day of her wedding, but they had no qualms accepting her, and was sure that they'd do the same for Devika. She also pointed out that (again, like Jyoti), Devika may have had painful relations w/ her parents, and didn't want to bring that up, and that it would be wrong to hurt her by bringing it up. Obviously, Jyoti didn't seem to happy at the comparison w/ her, since she didn't dislike her family, but the comparison was very much valid: if Devika had this issue, then bringing it up could hurt her for no reason. In fact, Sudha, despite her forgiving nature, does have this relationship w/ her entire family except Jyoti. That's borne out by Devika not recognizing anybody else, but even Jyoti's fleeting image having an effect on her.

Going forward, if Jyoti does go ahead w/ trying to help Sushma, and if cm finds out about all this, I hope that she, true to form, puts the skids on it and reads out the riot act whereby Jyoti can't have any relationship w/ Sushma, since she's a pimp and her association would damage the family reputation.

On Devika-Sudha, I think otherwise from QY. CM already likes Devika, and has a soft corner for Sudha, due to her returning her credit card, her restraining Deepu at the wedding, and her returning Pankaj's slippers so easily w/o taking any cash from him, and saving the face for both Uday and Pratik. I don't totally blame her for not liking it that Pankaj/Jyoti's honeymoon was cut short: it's natural for her to want them to have a full vacation, and doesn't reflect any spite against Sudha. And she was right to be suspicious about KK's family, given that even Jyoti didn't invite them, and she has no idea about the friction between Jyoti/Sudha vs the rest.

So whenever cm finds out about their dual-personalities, she may not want Uday to marry Sudha due to this health issue, but I think (& hope) what will happen is that Uday will point out that just as Jyoti looked past Pankaj's blindness and embraced him wholeheartedly, Uday could be just as large hearted w/ Sudha. Once that happens, I think she'll happily accept Sudha, since she likes different aspects of both personalities.

In recent episodes, cm has been rubbing me the wrong way due to her insensitive remarks particularly to Jyoti. The other day, @ their Ganesh Puja, I loved it when she made a disparaging remark about Padma, and totally turned her against the family. However, since then, she's been doing everything to stop Uday from getting close to Sudha (I'll concede that it's probably b'cos she doesn't want Devika to be hurt, in which case, she needs to have a heart to heart chat w/ him), and 2 days ago, when Uday told Jyoti that Sandeep was calling, she remarked that it must be a crisis in the maakya again, embarrassing everyone around. Then, when Uday offered to take Jyoti to Sudha's, she intercepted it, and managed to prevent him from going. Then she created a scene about Jyoti drawing a salary from sishu-mangal, in the process, insulting what she earns.

In today's episode, finally, cm got a taste of her own medicine from her dear Pankaj (albeit inadvertantly). After he had taken her down a couple of notches by first disagreeing w/ her, and then asking her how she had changed, he mentioned to her how she was acting like a typical saas in a saas-bahu relationship w/ Jyoti. My, my, the dear lady just couldn't take it, and tears started down her eyes. She then has a conversation w/ Minal, and at the end of it, decides to take a break in Mumbai.

I'm glad at this. I've begun to like her less, and we don't need her around when Sudha is in jail and Uday's trying to help her - she's sure to weigh in on how Jyoti's family is dragging their family reputation down. Hopefully, during this break, Jyoti can get a respite from her, Suday can get closer and by the time cm returns, they are an item. Hopefully, everyone can know the truth about Sudha & Devika, and start helping her. By everybody, I mean Jyoti, Uday, Pankaj and his parents.

Well, cm, while you are out, empathy might be a good thing to learn, and practice on. Other than that, she's normally nice, but does have a knack of hurting people. I don't mind when it's people like Padma, but when it's Jyoti, Uday, Sudha or Pankaj's parents, it looks tacky.

I think that she is very concerned about status and honor of her family and doesn't think that jyoti fits in. She also doesn't like that Pankaj makes his own decisions instead of listening to her all the time.

Agrred, since jyoti came into this life he is more independent and not dependent on CM, she feels perhaps that her son is drifting from her, which is normal as any mother would feel that...plus yes she cares very much about honor and prestige of the family
