I think this some seriously awesome advice I have ever read. Perfection and sensibility at its best! Some of the points had me grinning but at the same time the truth of those points struck a cord in my heart.
Excellently penned.!

That is so true. So many of us want to be that perfect bahu. Sona knows Ishwari is insecure and she is trying to put her mind to rest. We have all done that and I see how nicely the show is appealing to various roles in our homes. This has become a pati-patni-saas show 😊

Big fat YES to every one of your points! It's icing on the cake that this heartfelt post comes from your own experiences. I watch this show with my mom and she too faced a hostile/passive aggressive MIL situation for 30 years. Sometimes she goes totally speechless watching because she says it's way too close to home, from the way Sona's trying too hard to fit a square peg into a round hole to the way Ishwari indulges in her special brand of exclusion.

I think the piece of the puzzle that Sona is missing is a genuine trust in Dev. Whatever she says, I don't think she's totally over the breakup yet, and she's trying to singlehandedly "fix" everything before she completely relinquishes control and gives into her love. At least that's my theory for why she hasn't been as gung-ho as Dev on the whole suhaag raat issue. On the one hand, I can't blame her for this mistrust (like father like daughter) but failing to address it, trying to keep her feelings in check and take care of the practical concerns first, she's creating a ticking time bomb of uncontrollable feelings a la Ritwick engagement fiasco! And if rumours are to be believed, it will burst soon in the measiest way 😕

Of course its over the top. This is television. We expect some drama.

I particularly liked how Dev politely answered all of Bijoy's questions. I hope Sons-in-law watching learn something from him. I have to say my husband is the same and I love him for that.

Ishwari represents that insecure mother in law that lives in so many households. I hope the show will raise some questions in the conscience of those women who are messing up with the feelings of their sons on a regular basis.
