Wow, I don't even know where to begin. I used to laud her as this progressive, open-minded woman who didn't behave like typical MILs with her bahu. But after today's episode, I am left dumbstruck and enraged. She is no different than every other misogynistic person in this society who always blames the "other woman", and refuses to accept that her laadla beta is equally to blame. It is because of these women that patriarchal notions are propagated and reinforced generation after generation in our society. It is because of these women that men feel entitled to whatever their heart desires, and don't understand boundaries. It is because of these women who protect their husbands and sons at any cost, that so much violence and abuse against women is normalized.
Sonakshi is beyond redemption now. She has willfully become a doormat of the finest quality. She allows people to walk all over her, dump their bullshit and then proceeds to justify it. She is everything a woman should never be - naive, spineless and a people-pleaser. Yes, compromise and adjustment is important in marriage but so is your self-respect and dignity. She has lost all of that in her quest for validation from assholes like Naren Sippy and Veena Sippy. The worst bit is that young girls watch shows like this and aspire to become like FLs, because all their actions are shown in a positive light. This is really disappointing.
Rohit - I don't know what to say. I said most of what I feel in my previous post. I feel he should just tyag everything else and go sit in his mother's lap. His support to Sona is conditional, and that's not how a marriage works. If I was in Sona's place, I would have walked out with all my bag and baggage long time ago.
Really sad after watching today's episode.
