hi
I am the silent reader on the forum but today I want to post my views. Your Question is that what I feel or think about Ishwari. my answer is from my point of view
She is a very complex character you cannot call her as a bad or you cannot say that she is a good.
She is complete gray. She has faced a lot of situations where she have to fight for her and her children s survival but I that process she had made some mistakes that she is totally baios some how she know Dev is more intelligent and he is have a capacity to take all of them out of there poority. so she completely give full attention on dev. for the time being lets consider of was the need of the time
that what she give more attention to dev but after when the things get better then at that time why she not give the proper attention to her rest of children. In this entire process she subconsciously
know she failed as a mother that why she want this assurance and 👏 from dev and all of the third party persons that she is a great mother and she is god.because some how she what to ensure herself that she is a good mother and this is required by a person when he or she itself know that this is not good but if someone say false thing again and again she can fool your self.
some how this is not possible with the help of neha. that why she is more connected to dev only because dev loves,respects what to protect his mother so he is fulfill her this wish that is the root cause of her passiveness. and insecurity.
Her another problem is that she some how feels that it is dev's life time responsibility to take care of the house hold she doesn't consider dev as a normal person can have his own identity. because she is having only one identity as dev's mother by which she get all the respect she wants. so the movement dev want some thing for his own she is having a problem.She loves to go to flashback and funny part is in flashback dev is only 8 years old and so she compare the every statement which 8 years dev is saying is applicable to 28 years dev. I must say she able to generate a businessman dev who is having a lot of money but who is totally unaware of human relationships there meaning and how important they are. that why is is so happy that now his son is not going to say asha as a ma but she don't understand that actually she and dev insulting an another mother.She loves give guilt trip to dev when dev try to come out of his past and lead himself a new life. some times I feel she had forgotten that is dev's mother but she acts like a chlild . eg . suppose if a small child is there and for teasing purpose if you say to a chlid that his mother is now my mother that chlid get angry and insure and starts crying same is applicable to her.
she is very selfish when it comes to power and her hold on dev .and to maintain that power and hold she can do any kind of manipulation. eg. some where she don't want to that sona should not say any thing to for any issue
because she have a fear that if sona is able to manage that issue more better than her then her position get lost. but this is most common problem for most of the MIL that they what there hold on there house they do not to retire. Sona is a toy which is require by the dev to have a full control on her. Like neha she is also very much materialist this point is get highlighted with the prenup. If she was relay interested in her chlidern's right then she should open about it but cheating or better word betraying his own son 😡 . and I don,t understand what should done by dev to give her confidence she is important to her by saying yes to all bad and wrong things of her.
She loves her god image so much that in that process she doen't care about her sone's image.
thats why at the breakup track very tactfully she shift the entire blame on dev, mamaji. now in ash ma's matter on dev. but my dear Ishwari you forced him to take this stand . She always love to play the game Dev sabse jada kisaka he . that's a different aspect she is playing this game alone there is no other side in this game😊😊. so to become a better MIL first she required to become first a better mother and then better MIL . and this journey will be started when she realized that she is having many flows and first she required to accept it and then rectify it. and for that a long way to go. and this is only possible with the help of dev . and for that dev required the help of sona and Bose orientation classes.
I want to say thank you to all of them who is reading my long replay
