I think she was speaking like a typical mother. She did not know that Baba has already decided that Shiv is the right man for Gauri.

Her reaction looked very reasonable to me.
Kamalji, what you're saying makes absolute sense. I concur 😊, but still disappointing because it's not really Gauri's fault. As a society, we should be progressive, and it should never be the girl's fault if the boys were unsuitable.
Is it better to marry your daughter off to the first or second rishta that comes, however poor choices they look ? ( of course in real life, a family will do more background checks than the rudimentary ones that were done on Vicky and Akshat, but we'll set that aside 😆)
A couple of other points I missed out in my original post.
Gauri remaining silent to Baba's question about whether rejecting Shiv was the right decision after vehemently agreeing that rejecting Akshat was right. Although Aaji answered that q, that was one more thing that made Baba agreeable.
Somebody should've told Nachi the exact words that Akshat uttered while leaving (essentially classifying Gauri as a middle class behenji of sorts!). Instead everybody goes to a war of words, and it turns into an ego clash. People need to try and make relationships work, and in a relationship like Baba's and Nachi's which looks fragile, shouting only deepens the wounds on both sides.
MJ was again glorious today- fantastic performer- the hurt look he gave when Nachi was pointing fingers at him had me readily empathising with him. Baba as a character has his flaws, but it's a character that resembles a great many fathers I've met, and MJ really gets into the skin of it.
