Interesting. I didn’t know about the different familial relations in Tamil version. So far, for the most part, things are well balanced in the show. I feel all warm and fuzzy seeing the different family relations. Even Maami fighting for the orphan girl she raised was amazing to see, considering she was full fledged negative some episodes back 👌
I miss Raavi’s chirpy cuteness. Hope that comes back and Rishita also turns lighter and more secure in the household. I think hers and Gaumbi’s would be a special relationship ❤️
There are grey characters in the original as well, Anita in the original is grey, but not vicious and she is married to Dhara's older brother. Also relationships are portrayed slightly differently there. Dhara and Raavi in the original are related through Raavi's mom's side and she is not an orphan, as portrayed here, her parents are very much alive. Her mother is mami to all the brothers, but she is completely positive now, has accepted Shiva-Raavi marriage in the original. They have definitely made changes to relationship chart to suit Gujarati culture/custom here.
Rishita's character is the only outsider in that family, hence took a while for her to adjust but I tell you to meet her every request and demand, they come to a middle ground and every problem is shown to be handle with open communication and there is no hiding the information from the other person. There are several saas-bahu shows with full on negativity, but there is nothing wrong in a show with positivity that connected close to reality.
