what do folks think about reet?? why do you think she is insecure?
Honestly speaking, I just can't seem to fully hate Reet. I don't necessarily think she 'hates' Katha, but is feeling threatened by her. Perhaps the reason could be that she feels Katha will get more importance in the Garewal household since she is the eldest daughter-in-law, etc. Also, I think that her having daughters and Katha having a son contributes to her insecurity, as she might think the Garewals might prefer the son (due to unfortunate Indian standards).
Basically what I mean to say is I think that her main insecurity is that she and her kids will get ignored in the Garewal household, and will always be treated unequally compared to Katha and Arav.
To be honest, her worries do seem to be a reflection of normal human behaviour; her jealousy does seem to have a reasonable basis. But I think that the makers are not really portraying her with the nuance needed to make her more human. Instead, she seems like a typical ITV jealous choti bahu in most of the scenes, so I get irritated by that at times. From the promos though (where Reet asks MIL about how Katha got the money), it seems like she will become much more negative anyway, so I guess the makers won't really spend time to make her into a nuanced character.
Also, am I the only one who likes Reet's outfits?! I don't know but I find her dresses kind of unique, which shows that she has her own sense of style. The off-shoulder kaftan type of dress is an interesting mixture of both modern and traditional.
