Burdened by her superstar son's attitude and crazy antics, we don't really blame poor Radha Bhatia (Shama Deshpande) from Madhubala Ek Ishq Ek Junoon to be at her wit's end through the 10 minute screen time she gets every weeknight. Her expressions predictably vary from scared to being wary to sniffling into her designer saree pallu and patting her children's head affectionately (when she's physically allowed to be close to them). Oh, she also weeps copiously when things spiral out of control. And RK also plays the mommy card from time to time by saying 'mere paas maa hai' to keep his estranged wife Madhubala in control. Quite the user-friendly maa this!
With her pallu demurely placed on her head, most of her screen time is spent appeasing her strict disciplinarian MIL and trying to soothe her son's frayed nerves. Parul Vaishnav (played by Sonali Sachdev from Sanskaar Dharohar Apnon Ki) is the loving, helpless mom who actually has precious little to do apart from being a silent spectator to the trauma and ordeal that her son and his wife undergo in every episode. Wipe the tears baa, show some spunk and remember that you also have a vertebral column. Stand up for your rights (and your children). This is 21st century!
Even telly soaps have their dramatic mothers
