Today's episode was filled with Ishwari chaap Hypocrisy... If anyone else thinks that Ishwari loves Sonakshi like her children, today will be an eye opener for everyone. Do watch it.
Ishwari to Sona: When plant leaves old soil and come to new soil it needs to leave it's attachment to its old soil. Sort out your fight in your in-laws. Don't carry it to your parents' house.
Me: Really Ishwari? Did you give the same advice to Neha? She seems to think it's perfectly fine to carry out her marital problem to her maika? If Sona had kept her fight to Dixit house, she would be preparing for her divorce right now as well just like you managed to help your daughter with her divorce.
Sona brings Jhoola. Radha tries to incite Ishwari. But she wants Sona to get into trouble with Dev. So she is just fine with it in front of Sona because she is hoping Dev will get upset.
Dev comes home and Ishwari approaches him for Riya's alliance which will only happen if Riya approves.
Me: Wah Ishwari. How generous!!! But Ishwari, how could you arrange Riya's wedding when Neha is getting divorce? I mean when you will do wedding shopping and wedding planning, won't Neha get upset? I mean as far as I know wedding shopping and planning lasts way longer and in way more details than honeymoon shopping and planning. Don't you love Neha anymore? Don't your heart bleed for Neha any longer?
Sona is excited to show Dev her jhoola. Dev is not that excited to see that he actually has to keep his hasty promise this time, but since Sona is happy, he can't get too upset because he agreed to share their room with his wife who also has equal right to be comfortable in their bedroom.
They were spending time with each other, so of course Neha has to stroll in (bedroom thodi hai, garden hai) and Neha relays Ishwari's (or her own) sarcastic comment whether they will eat here or in Bose house and Dev got hurt
Me: Dev, save your hurt for later. When you actually see your mother's true face (preferably in this lifetime), you will have truck load of hurt waiting for you to tackle. By the way, this is your mom's true face. How long can the poor thing hide her true self in front of you?
Sona asks Dev's sisters if Dev liked the swing.
Me: Uh Sona, I get it you got married recently and all. But here's a priceless tips from a happily married woman. It's okay for a wife to have something the husband doesn't like and it's okay for a husband to have something the wife doesn't like. You won't ever find a couple who have identical choices in every single thing. Having a healthy relationship means that there might be something you don't like that the other one like, but you put up with it because the other person likes it.
Example: I don't see the point why one man (my husband) needs the playstation and xbox at the same time (They play the same freaking game anyway). But I keep my mouth shut.
My husband doesn't get it why I need different shades of same colour tops in my wardrobe (how many pink tops does one person need. I wear one at a time anyway), but he doesn't say anything about it.
Similarly, you don't like his sparsely furnished monochromatic room, yet he never asks whether you like it.
And he may not like your jhoola, but you don't need to know if he likes it or not to have it in your room.
Sona stupidly asks Ishwari if Dev will like the jhoola. So Ishwari throws in her taunt, how does she not know Dev's choice?
Me: Sona, stop your idiocy and start taking decision about two of you on your own. Where did you independent nature go?
And Ishwari, she may not know Dev's decor choices, but she knows how to be a wife. On the other hand, you don't know how to be a mother, let alone a compassionate person. So if I have to bet, she may learn Dev's preference in decor one day soon, but you have a long way to learn to be a mother or a compassionate human being. You might have fooled some people, but you haven't fooled me.
On dining table, Sona finds out that Riya's wedding discussion is going on.
Dev feels Ishwari's unhappiness. But when he asked Ishwari, she makes sarcastic comment with her typical miserable expression so that Dev gets curious enough to bug, but she can keep claiming nothing is wrong and can prolong the attention or in shudh desi language, bhav!!!
Now let me remind you of my Friday's post. I wrote, Ishwari's concern for Dev and Sona's safety was not the reason of her outburst. She doesn't give two hoots about Sona and when Dev used to come home late night from work, she never wondered what might be happening to Dev..
Her reason for the outburst was her fear that Dev will like Asha more and the moment she walked in Bose house, her expression gave it away seeing Dev bonding with Asha.
Today Ishwari admitted it in front of the only person she doesn't lie to - her brother because only he sees her clearly.
But when Mamaji tried to convince her that there is nothing wrong with a man behaving with his in-laws the way he expects his wife to behave with hers, while she didn't agree with him or changed her mind, but made sure he doesn't tell it to Dev. Can't get that Goddess halo tarnished. That's her USP in this house.
Riya is excited for her upcoming wedding. But she is worried about Neha being upset. So Neha tells her that she will be happy if the groom is rich just like Sona is happy because Dev is rich.
Nikki darling, you absolutely hit the nail on the head when you said this house is cursed for honeymoon. But don't worry, that curse is only on your brother, not on you sisters. It's called "Mother's concern" which your brother got and you guys don't. So lucky no?
Me: Really Neha? Then there is no lack of rich groom. Why don't you line up a happiness for you instead of moping around here? If that's all it takes, your brother is rich enough to get a rich man for you. But what am I telling you? Had your mother spent two seconds to fix your thinking, you'd have been happy already. But she is busy trying to make her son miserable.
Ishwari calls Dev to come help her as the groom's family is arriving for alliance. He is busy and tells Ishwari to call Sona for help and Ishwari hangs up her phone.
Dev: Maa is so worried.
Me: Yes, she is so worried that her position of power might be taken away from her.
Precap: The groom's family arrives. Sona wasn't informed (*snort*). Sona comes and asks Ishwari why she was not informed.
Ishwari: Dev didn't come and even if you are not there, what does it matter? Everything is going fine, isn't it?
Me: Yes, as long as Dev's money is present, his wife and him don't need to be there. Sona, why are you still asking stupid questions? Your brain is yet to catch up to your position in Dixit house? Why do women ignore their sixth sense constantly? Sometimes that's the most reliable alarm bell you got.
