I really liked today's episode.After a week's crapfest,I thought we got something good.
From my pov,the episode reinforced two very important lessons of life

1)The role of both parents,and the relationship between them, in the upbringing of the child.

2)The importance of having a good relationship with the daughter in law of the house.

Many spouses believe that it is ok to abuse /illtreat/look down on the other spouse.They believe that being ultra sweet and caring to the child while ill treating the other spouse is just fine because in their twisted minds they feel that they are being nice to the child and are taking out their anger on the spouse only(who they dislike/can't get along for some reason)

Unfortunately ,they couldn't be more wrong.

The relationship of a child with the mother is connected through the father and vice versa.More importantly,the relationship of the child with the mother/father is heavily dependent on the relationship between the mother and father.Where a child sees disrespect/abuse between parents,the child will sooner or later start disliking the abuser.Over time anything the abuser does will never be enough to win back the love of the child.


The same holds for mothers in law too..Many MILs stupidly think that they can ill treat their DILs and get away with it.They couldn't be more wrong.If they ill treat their DIL,their grandchildren will hate them for life.I am sure Soha is going to ask Ishwari many uncomfortable questions.

If Ishwari doesn't mend her ways and doesn't salvage her relstionship with Soha,she will lose Soha forever.Soha may forgive Dev because he is her father but she will never forgive Ishwari

I am not implying that Dev is an abuser or Sona is a victim.I am just trying to state the importance that their interrelationship holds for Soha.Sona already has an existing strong relationship with Soha.Whereas Dev is on the back foot.If Dev wants to win Soha's heart,he first has to win back Sona's heart.If the li'l girl sees that her mom loves/respects someone she will automatically love him.If he continues to fight with Sona,then how much ever he may try,Soha will never fully accept him.

Dev,change ur route.The route to Soha's heart is not through her bedroom window or lunch boxes and toys.The route to Soha's heart is through Sona's heart.And this is true for any parent.The best way to win your child's heart is be just,fair and show respect to your spouse.


In my own personal experience I have seen that since my inlaws treated me poorly,my son lost respect and love for them.They also tried to poison his mind against me.It was the worst thing they could have done.Children will hate anyone who speaks against their mom/dad.Over a period of time ,he started to dislike the idea of going to their house.Nowadays he hardly goes there.I sometimes feel sorry for them. Inspite of everything,I still feel that they are old and deserve to be with their grand child.But my son refuses to go there ...and I don't want to force him

Life goes full cycle and sometimes we cannot change things even if we want to

your thoughts are welcome😃

Hey Anita! A serious post from you. Great points!

I like the episode today. It was a validation of sohas upbringing by sona & the boses. That girl is really going to teach mom & son duo more than a few lessons! Already we see that dev in the precap comes to ask for permission. A good start!

I think respect if not love should be there in all our relationships. Children are very observant & today's episode proved that. When soha told dev he could have called it seemed so simple but complex at the same time. I also think we need behave very carefully in front of the kids. Today's bijoy soha conversation was heart touching but it makes soha even more confused as she truly likes dev. Poor thing!

I think this track will not only question ish but dev also. Till now dev has conveniently absolved himself of all blame in his broken relationship but these kind of questions hopefully make him introspect.

Rock and Roll - Just posted something similar on this lines. Dev in my dictionary IS indeed the abuser - one who locks up the woman in an empty office without food and water, shouts publicly harasses, stalks, bullies.


Unless Dev doesnt learn to respect Sona, he is never gonna get Soha's acceptance. Bijoy is the ideal father figure to Soha, and it's also in a way how he treats Asha. A child notices lots of things and then grows his/her own sense of righteousness. Soha's that part is already done and cannot be erased anytime soon, thanks to the Boses she now knows what's right and what's wrong which clearly Golu doesnt. Dixits cannot win her with abuses, controls and blackmailings anymore.

100% agree. Those who assume that it's OK to do whatever you want in front of the children or believe in the best dialogue - bachche hain inhe kya samajh main aata hai? - are the biggest fools possible. Children hear, observe, analyse and understand everything.
And your examples about MILS and grandchildren is bang on. Then these foolish ladies say mere pote/poti ko mere khilaaf sikhaya hai

In real life a child as young as Soha might not be able to articulate clearly what she felt or observed but would have declared papa gande hain or I don't like papa. She would start avoiding Dev and Ishwari's company and be scared of them without realising that her subconscious was telling her that they might separate her from her mother.

Since its a show, Soha is shown asking Dev questions forcing him to introspect. But I do feel that Ishwari will feel the full force of Soha's rejection soon though I don't expect Ishwari to learn anything from that also.

Sorry for the very bad analogy but she is like those rapists who insist that everything was the victims fault for being beautiful, being alone, wearing jeans etc etc. He was just trying to teach her a lesson. For her every wrong act someone else is responsible

@ bold I so agree with u...It seems so simple and yet so complex...But the question is sure to haunt Dev.Children have uncorrupted minds and hence they see the truth as it is without understanding its many layers.And when they ask direct and logical questions,it pinches the parents big time😊

Yes,the Bijoy Soha convo was more complex.It put more pressure on an already highly pressurized kid.I am not saying that what Bijoy said was completely wrong.He expressed his natural fears and thoughts and sometimes it is important to say these things clearly to children,especially in such situations.But maybe,as is his wont,he overdid it a bit.

I think this track will not only question ish but dev also. Till now dev has conveniently absolved himself of all blame in his broken relationship but these kind of questions hopefully make him introspect.

I agree...But I do hope the kid puts perspective into both of them.I think currently both r unable to see their mistakes,though Sona is way better than Dev.She has some perspective compared to Dev;'s "frog on the well" syndrome.Maybe Golu will be Dev's lawyer and Soha will be Sona's.šŸ˜‰

@ bold..Thank u for sharing ur experience Dipali😊

It is indeed astounding that spouses and inlaws don't understand or are blind to the consequences of their actions.The mother is the centre of the universe of the child,especially for the first 5-10 years.Isn't it most natural that a person who disrespects the mother will be hated by the child?I am surprised at how people can't see this
