My view point

Don't bash me. This is my pov from my experience. It does not matter whether Dev calls Sonakshi's mom maa or not, in reality either dev or Sona calling Asha or Ishwari will not make them their maa. Its hipocracy or I say superficial that gives happiness to either husband or wife by calling like that. Its a reality. I being married for 15 years can say that your mom is mom and mother-in-law can never replace or substitute that vice versa. So girls don't day dream. But because this is a fictional show, you are allowed to have expectations from Dev and are allowed to be angry with what he said. I am not denying that.

Me and my husband - we call our parents mom and dad and our inlaws aunty and uncle. As that is how we used to address them before wedding. Didnt see any need to change the way we address...
ofcourse inlaws can be just like parents but they are never going to be my parents in real. both have their own place in our lives. it doesnt mean one is less and the other is more...

That being said, if Dev had started called asha aunty from the day their wedding got fixed ... then there would be no problem... but he has been calling her maa and now all of sudden how can he change the way he addressed her ?
what would he call her ? how would he justify the change ? how will sona and asha and bijoy feel about this ?

I had more trouble calling my inlaws Mom n Dad compared to my husband who never had any hesitation in calling my parents Mom Dad. Maybe bcoz I stayed with my inlaws for sometime only and started comparing them with my parents, so initially it was really tough for me. But then got the habit of calling them Mom Dad.

Same as others. The problem isn't what he addresses his ILs as. He refers to his dad as Papa while Bijoy is baba

its not about calling maa it's about giving respect. if he said maa main sonakshi ki maa kehne se tumara importance kam nahi ho jaathi tum meri janam dhene wali maa ho tumara jaga koi nahi le sakhtha lekin sona meri wife hai uski naathe sona ki maa meri bhi maa huyi na. sona bhi tumko maa kehthi hai.if he said this it would have be logical and ishwari would have understood but he said its his mistake calling asha as maa. its really disrespectful towards asha. she treated him like her sona. don't you think he needs to respect his wife mother too.

its not about what we call the IL, most important is the feelings/respect we have for them.
