I still remember how Archana sold all her jewellery and convinced her sisters Vaishu and Varsha to do so just so that Vinod could buy a flat without taking monetary help from his mother in law Rasika .
What I infer from this is Archana thought that Vinod would lose his self respect if he accepted help from his mother in law .
But Manav has helped Sulochana his mother in law over and over again . I fail to understand why Manju has not asked Archana this question . Rasika was bad but good to her own daughter . There she was the one giving the money yet she was termed as evil and trying to ' buy' her damad .
Here Sulo has only taken the monetary help from Manav ...her damad . Lakhs of rupees.
Sa vita has not taken a single rupee from damad . Rather she was fleeced by damad . These are facts shown in the serial .
Does not Archana feel that Sulo loses self respect by constantly taking from damad ? The same rule that applies to Vinod applies to Sulo too . Does it not ? This clearly shows that Archana makes a distinction between damad of the house and son of the house . She thinks its demeaning to accept help from mother in law . She follows the old Hindu culture . Personally I feel she should have stayed out . This was Vinod's problem . He was a grown man . It was strictly between him , his wife and his mother in law who was loaning him the amount to buy a flat .
But Archana saw to it that he does not take financial help from his sasu ma . Then how she borrows constantly from Manav and helps her family . Some one should ask her this question .
One cannot be selectively traditional and selectively liberal [ damad is beta thingie]. One must choose one path .
