it's true women like ishwari do exist ,Most Indian women are over possessive about their boys .
In my case I was married to a complete mamas boy at the naive age of 22 .
My mil was always a very over possessive and insecure women at the time of marriage she asked me whether I was marrying him for green card 'I said I don't need a man to fulfill my ambition .i was double graduate with masters degree holder .
When I look at ishwari it's a flashback of do many emotions which come back ,the difference been I tried my best to work out the marriage one fine day I told my better half 6 months or we part ways .
It wouldn't work

Well she was insecure because her elder son moved away completely ,she has a dominating personality .
So just as ishwari she refused to except my presence in her sons life ,she addressed and needed to know everything including initiate details .
At one point she spoke and behaved well with me second place she told my hubby not to discuss finances or their home issues with me .
She also slept in between us as newly weds ,refused to let us go on honeymoon and so on..
Luckily I m a brilliant cook so that area she never said a word because there was nothing she had.
I had a hair cut after a severe depression n sickness the first thing she told me was my son won't like you 'That was after been married to him for two years .
Well nevertheless things hit rock bottom when one day i couldn't take it and just like sonakshi said you can't take me for granted I'm capable enough and will pick these shattered pieces .
That's day something ticked in my hubby and he realized that I was his responsibility too .
The son and mom had a big show down where she accused me of changing and brainwashing him.
Which my hubby said don't accuse her because it's her who has kept everything together after five years of marriage .
And if you were so good you would have successfull relation with your hubby ,elder son and dil .
You have to look mom you might be wrong somewhere .
Well after all said and done its 12 years of marriage she still taunts me on irrelevant stuff which I have learnt to ignore ,and whenever visiting us abroad she lives with us most time in our family home because I never made her feel this is my house it's our home for me that includes them .
Last year after all said and done she told me my son is closest to me no one will take my place ..I said mom no one can take your place your his mom ,will always be and you have a 9 month deeper connection to him.but it is essential and part of a family when a girl gets gets married they have to be close and understand each other .
To which my hubby told her my biggest confidante has been my wife ,if anything at all she taught me how to keep relations !!! That's my biggest. Compliment
Today I am a mother of a son ..and I hope I open my heart to my future daughter in law !!
She might be different ethnicity or anything but she is his love that's what matters

First of all i am so sorry dear you had to go through so much in life. But i am glad you had your husband's support. Sometimes talking things out does solve a lot of problems.

I see shades of ishwari in several indian MILs. I hope they all watch this show and see themselves and change. Also all those DILs who just deal with it with out making a sound should also learn how to vouce out their problems in a positive and subtle way...

All those husbands, dont just ignore these issues as kitchen politics.. Ignoring is only encouraging one side to dominate the other instead of finding a balance

Absolutely right and well said, the fact that 12 years after marriage she still treats me as an outsider is very hurtful ,the grandson is her sons son not mine another statement which she uses
It's about her family name me my family doesn't exist which is heartbreaking because during testing times it's my family and siblings who have always stood by them .
Now things like she would love yto dress up like me which i always thought she never had a daughter so she likes to do this now as she finds a kick in it ..
But it was more of a competition who looks good ..she always wore saris I encouraged her to buy andr wear her first Punjabi dress .
Once I asked sasu ma' are you renovating our home too for festival she commented that's not your house it's mine so don't show your rights over it .
I did not say anything to it .at the age of 22 I already owned my own property in Mumbai from my hard earned money and half given by my parents ..
I had no interest whatsoever property wise it was more of a family sentiment .
Luckily I came from a well educated independent and financially much secure family's than his .
Well one thing I know she don't change I just fear her manupliation using my child now ..which I can see little trailers of right now .

Aditi dear , I am so sorry to hear what you went through and I can't imagine how difficult it'l be for you when you watch the show , since it reminds u of the things u went through ... But u r one brave sensible woman who managed to keep you family together for all this time , and the fact that your husband supported you vouch for that truth ... As they said in the beginning its a show of a DIL , MIL n son , n how her DIL help her to overcome her insecurities and how her son learns to balance both of them ... Since they keep it so real , I am sure a lot of them like u can relate to it and most of us can learn a lot from it ...
Thank you for sharing your personal experience and keep smiling , good things happens to good people always , and u deserve all the happiness ... 👍🏼

Thank you for the love and courageous words, I just hope women in India of mothers age who watch this show realize that a daughter in law is just a beautiful extension of a family like a flower and not a weed who is trying to spread .
She equally needs that love and care as your own daughter and son she has left a family behind to make your family hers that's her biggest courage and you become her strength in that ..
No relationship is ever gonna be perfect no one will ever be a perfect mother ,child ,daughter ,son or daughter in law ...it's the love and exceptance that keeps a family together .
