Not much difference between Riya & Kushia as Riya doesn't up til its too late & Kushia doesn't speak up due to her ammaji's aadesh.
Thats such a good comparison and I think so accurate. It defies belief that the younger generation in the show can't see this like a big flashing red warning sign. How long now have many of us been saying that Riya is turning into mini Khushiya (before khushiya turned into evil MIL)? Preeti has turned into a bitter lemon, she is just plain miserable with her lot in life and totally unwilling to make it work for her. I know shes in a horrid situation with Nandu, but she cant undo it and magically unmarry him unless she divorces him- and thats not going to happen with a family like hers lurking about. So I dont know why she cant go out to work with Nandu (Riya works, Nimmi was working from home, so can Preeti if she applied herself), save up some money, move the hell out of her parents house and find a place of their own. She might have a big mouth on her but I dont think she has the guts to walk out on Nandu just like that- so why cant she stop whinging and whining about her situation and DO something to make it more bearable?! If she went out of the house to work she wouldnt be cooped in all day, brooding over her life. What is the saying? Being angry with someone else is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to drop dead. She can grumble and bitch all she wants about her situation, it wont do anything but make her increasingly miserable, bitter and resentful and before she knows it she will have turned into full blown Sarla mode.
