waise, i would still say that Bhavna jaise saas are "in abundance" in India, even amongst the urban educated middle class. i think it will change over the next generation.

Ok, I could not resist posting. You have your facts wrong. Bhavna did ask Varsha to leave her job. If you look at Nov 1st video of PR, Bhavna clearly tells Varsha that she has taken the decision that Varsha will quit her job. If I remember correctly, she asked Varsha to quit her job earlier too, but I did not have the patience or inclination to go through all the videos.

Please dont assume that I am taking sides here or attacking your views. To each his/her own.

Agree completely - Our generation would be the changing point, though I already see a change in our mom's generation.
The whole thing of wanting a kid, being ready for a kid, etc. is all VERY personal and I disagree about the pressure put on people. I too am very passionate about a career and would get really upset if people ask me to quit it (I do love my daughter to death as I mentioned and hence I try to manage both).
Whether to have a child, not to, is all very person dependent and there is no right or wrong in this. The way Varsha behaved was wrong but the way Bhavna has been treating Varsha recently (She forgets that she is an adult) is totally unacceptable (to me anyway).

Hej ...

Don't know where my post would fit here. But its better I write something if I feel to 😊

Bhavna's asking for a grandchild is not nonsense I feel. It is a family structure, a culture of a country. Yes, her mentioning of "grandson" can either be her primitive way of thinking, or just a language issue.

She wishes her son to be happy, fulfilled with a healthy family. Although he is a very good man, his life certainly is far from what he would deserve to have.

However its true, everyone does have their own way of living. However, I do feel that if he gets a second chance in life with someone who would really love and care for him ... he will be more satisfied and someone else would get a man like his as she deserves. Varsha can concentrate in her career and there is nothing wrong in that.

Good point. I don't think Bhavna's DESIRE to have a grandchild is wrong - but the WAY she did it would put anyone off.. At least of late..It was either "my way or the highway". I did not see the respect for space here.
As for Satish, he sincerely loved Varsha and I don't think he is just "adjusting" or trying to adjust with her. He has been extremely supportive and even supported her career. He has told her never to quit because she was the kind who ENJOYED a career. Even after they found out she never could conceive he was the one who went out of the way to find a job for her at the bank. Whether she deserved him was questionable but the bottom line here in this case was that he loved her and Varsha has begun to realize that.

^^ but Why would they go for different partners, Varsha and Satish love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives together. Yes Varsha did commit a big blunder by aborting her child and now she's paying the price for it, she can never conceive again the thot in itself is a huge punishment also Satish realises this and has forgiven Varsha, both are trying to be happy and accept this reality as part of life. As long as they are happy and content being together nobody else has the right to separate them, not even Bhavna.

Did she ever realize his love for her?

You know I sometimes feel otherwise. Specially when she went to Archana's home flaunting her wealthy status due to her wealthy choice. Now it is tough to discount those isn't it? Those were quite recent remarks of hers.

Never did she show any regret unless it directly affected her. Satish was never really a primary thought, apart from the times when he would be the element of her pride, tangible joy or ego. Or perhaps a soft target?

Satish seems to be one of those men who give it their all. Wonderful, kind and sensible men. He will give it his all, till the very end ... unless a magic happens
😊.

I think he really wanted a child, but now he is adjusting to a fate which he accepted. Doesn't mean that he deserved or enjoy it. It is just that he wanted love from someone he wanted to make it happen with. But what do you do when the other person is just not THAT KIND?

Well in all, I wish to see a good looking, sexy 😉, kind, compassionate, sensible girl come to his life who love him. Simply give him her priority, care for him, and makes her own efforts to have a home with him ... with his and her children smiling all over. I don't think it will be his nightmare, but actually the contrary.

As for Varsha, She is a different kind of woman. She will find someone else, maybe next time something which would benefit her long term objectives in life more? Perhaps someone in the Bank at a higher position? NO I AM NOT demeaning her! Its just fair. She has a life of her own in which she should be looking for consolidation ... but certainly the cost shouldn't be borne by a nice man like Satish, who always did show the signs of a man who would like a wife, children and a home. Ofcourse he is supportive like a perfect gentleman that he is ... but to take advantage of such men is a waste, nothing else. At lease their breeds should and must be spared! That would only prove to be kind.

That maybe our viewpoint that he deserved someone better than her - we may feel like that about MANY people in real life too! So does everyone go in for a divorce?? Isn't marriage all about being with each other until death shall do us apart???? Not to say that we must live with abusive partners, I don't believe in that but after marriage, my strong belief is we MUST try and make it work. And here the bottom line is Satish loved her, Satish is willing to support her, Satish is willing to "live with his fate", Satish does not want to divorce her for the sake of a child, Satish is totally supportive of her and has forgiven her whole heartedly - so who is the MIL to judge? Yes, she feels for her son's welfare but she has no business to force HER decisions down their throats. And at this point Satish is not willing to listen to his mom either. So, she needs to back out now, else she will lose her son.
And I don't believe Satish is "living with his fate", he is doing that completely willingly, in fact he is more WORRIED about Varsha than feeling disappointed about non having a child - even his prayers when he went to the temple were for VARSHA as he did not want her to be disappointed and broken - definitely signs of a man truly in love.
As for Varsha, yes, she did not realize anything until the whole Vaishu incicent but even before she realized she could not conceive, she pined for a child and was repentant. The way she behaved was completely wrong to begin with and she was realy ungrateful at which point I was really disgusted. But let's not mix in incidents of the past and let those influence our views on Bhavna who is the point of discussion here.
One more thing - I don't believe that being a career woman makes her "bad". Yes, Varsha's thoughtless abortion was totally shocking but so what if she wanted a career - when her husband supported her 100% on the career part, why should anyone else object?

Hey as you wish, I was just looking at it from another perspective.

Ofcourse the mother in law is not someone who be able to force anything. Probably she is just venting herself, as she is only a human, and in Indian families it seems they are very connected.

Marriages are for life, but not like this I felt. He seems to be a sufferer BUT HEY, thats just me perhaps who sees it.

Anyways, there will be more story ahead. The current frames will pass, and the future will tell whether Satish wishes more to happen in his life, than to be with Varsha (with whom as you once yourself said in a post, he was adjusting himself).

Marriage is not life is a good concept ... I like this concept of India. But it is for those who can carry it for life ... not for those who abuse it for life. Or maybe it is a whole different thing in India.

Personally I would find it very romantic when Satish gets involved with someone else, very refined and deserving (in my perspective). I am sure she will fulfill his life, and somehow Bhavna will be seen as a totally different person.

Bhavna's obsession right now seems more of a restlessness. She doubts the intelligence of her daughter in law. She is still concerned for her son ... and this is perhaps how Indian homes operate. You cannot really subtract some aspects from the whole package that such homes come from. It is all good when things work accordingly to it I suppose.

But hey ... can anyone really think based on the current time? Past and future are always the ones who influence any discussion.

Its just my opinion 😆....don't take it as an offense.

Why would I be offended? 😃 You did not comment about me, did you?😉 We all have rights to our opinions and that's what this forum is for.
But I don't ever remember saying he was adjusting to Varsha. In fact if you see in my last post, I said he loves her and is WILLING to and WANTS to live with her with all her flaws. It maybe romantic to see him involved with someone else on screen but to be honest, I would lose respect for Satish if he left Varsha NOW especially since she is repentant - that would be so out of character with him. A guy who has always supported her and her career suddenly having such a turnaround? Of course anything can happen in shows. As for Bhavna I have currently no respect for her and will have it only if she changes her approach.
Not sure if that's how all Indian homes operate. Many may operate that way, I know mine does not, (Neitehr in-laws or parents) and for every home that operates that way, I can point another that does not operate that way. I think they should show the other kinds of homes also in tehse serials, like they did in Astitva Ek Prem Kahani.
