A page from a Newbie's diary - Please peep :) - Page 2

Hey Havima.I am literally at a loss of words right now. I am aware that such MILs do exist but it still makes me sad and shocked to hear/read about such experiences. A big hug to you and your mom.It will take time and strength to heal and I am sure both of you have that strength. I really wish and pray that you have a wonderful life ahead.

Thank you so much for your sweet words and please do share your thoughts and views more often.

Thanks for sharing this post deepsel.

Thank you Deeps for making this post!

Hi Havima,

It takes a lot of courage and strength for you telling your Mother's story here to everyone!

My heart goes out to your Mother, hope she feels peace and happiness within her, and to all us women who as women go through this journey!

Glad that she has a strong family to support and love her!

KRPKAB is showcasing us, very many heartfelt reality based experiences! Be it a very loving Son, loving daughter, lovers, Parents, Siblings.. And now coming to a journey which is relaitable in life...
Of a Very possessive Mother( obsessive in Ishwari's case... and a very loving mature couple) this is bold and sensitive topic, and I hope the makers make us see a well-balanced closure of these three characters .. It's imp, if they want to pass a message, a meaning to this journey!


It nice that we all can share our experiences here, and wish this show keeps its momentum and shows logical outcomes!

Thank you for making this post
It really touched my heart and its really emotional
It just shows this whole in law thing does happen in reality 😔
I just pray to God everyone marries the perfect man and have the best in laws in life ❤️

Oh wow, what a post. I almost missed it! . Read this morning before coming to work.

My sincere apologies for the late reply.

Deepsel - Thank you for highlighting this post. It sure needs a standing ovation for Havima to share with us the plight her mother had suffered at the hands of her Mil and how that has transformed her now, still leaving some marks in the present.

Havima - You deserve an applause from all the forum members for sharing with us your personal very painful experience. Its not easy to share such things on a such a platform but I must applaud you for your willingness to do so and am glad you did. Sad to read how your mum must have suffered all this alone with no one to talk to. My heart goes out to her. What she must have been through...but she came out as a winner ! That's what matters!

Something you wrote struck a chord with me. It so happened recently only. Just two days ago

Last sat I was having dinner in an Italian restaurant with my cousin, enjoying ourselves immensely... We were talking about usual stuffs and s she saw me smiling ...and I said that I am watching this serial and I am really hooked too much that it has changed my entire life schedule for I cannot live without it and how I can relate to it. So I told her about the concept and said lastly about Iswari not allowing them the intimacy and was asking if such people exist , not expecting any answer...

To my surprise she said, yes they do and quoted her own MIL. What was more shocking was she didn't let them have the privacy as she slept outside their bedroom on their first night till their honeymoon, and asking them to leave the door open, on the pretext that my cousin wasn't used to new place and might be scared...so let the door ajar... Even when they were away on the honeymoon she made a drama about fainting and having a heart attack but luckily the other family members didn't call them to come home!

I was looking at her as if she had grown horns! What !!!! Get out here...was what I said... And then she told me the horror stories and how she made the decision to shift out of the house and get her own place and she finally did ! Sadly the MIL and she never patched up...

What goes around comes around. Very true. Sad your granny died of cancer but glad she was remorseful for what she did before passing. You know I wouldn't even wish my enemy to have cancer...lost two friends of mine to cancer and I know how much they wanted to live.! One was my very best friend. We lost touch and finally one day she called me a few years ago and talked to me for so long... I was surprised even to receive such a call from her from her busy schedule ...and she talked and talked and finally said that she was suffering from cancer. She lived for a couple of years and passed away...

But you know a few months before she died , I told her she treated my very badly and she should apologise as I didn't want her to be judged by those upper beings when she goes there... Told her to make peace with me. She did ...and we cried and hugged...was very sad.! She left...but she died so bravely. She became my inspiration . Even while dying...she cared so much and showered me with so much love...I missed my friend.

Deepsel , a few other posts and now yours , are an eye opener for me...that such - MIL women exists in India...or maybe everywhere...so far I have not come across a bad one like the one your mum must have gone thru or even Iswari...but they do exist.

What is it about this show that makes us go all crazy...I guess in simple words...there are many things I can relate to...Dev reminds of my boyfriend...and some of the things he said, it likes DEJA VU! Some parts of possessiveness over Dev I see it in my mother for my brother --- a mother's love for her only Son...and I see some part of Dev in my brother as well...and my brother is a business man...and he said the other day... he cannot die as lots of people are depending on him and I was like...What did you just say? Havent I heard this before?

I cant wait how the story will unfold...how the trio , Dev, Sona and Ish will resolve their differences to live happily...we just have to be tolerant...

Thank you Deepsel and Havima - for making this post! I loved it. It touched my heart.

Sorry for this long post dears...but I get carried away.

Havima - Pakirntu kondathukku nandrii mattrum l Ungall innimaiyana varttaikaluggku mika nandri!

This is height.Something similar happened to my sis but nt to this extent... , and guess she is living in Delhi's one of the high posh locality.
I don't understand this mentality of mils.
Maybe that's why I don't like saas bahu serials.
