Hello guys, I've been a silent reader in this forum but today's episode really forced me to bring up the below topic.
Please do not attack me because I'm just putting forward some thoughts, and I will respect all opposing opinions as well.

One thing I have learnt from this show is that there are some problems associated with the Indian culture of "hanging on" to our parents even as we grow older. First of all, this is more applicable to boys but girls are expected to drop everything.

But more than anything, hanging around the boys family does stunt the growth of the relationship between the new man and wife. First of all, leaving the parents house will encourage all children to develop into their own personalities - here they are nothing more than their parents' shadows. Also, these children end up being way too influenced by their parents - living alone they would get more freedom to form their own opinions and beliefs.

Living together in such cases implies that the man can never grow out of his primary relationships and he can never "completely" become a husband, or perhaps even a father.

I certainly don't deny that living with an extended family comes with many benefits - but this post is not to discuss those.

I just wish Dev and Sonakshi would try to discover themselves instead of living a life centered around Ishwari and her other kids.

Again, please don't bash! Thanks!

It is a cultural issue, no doubt!. Parents being too involved in children's life is an Indian / Asian problem. And the problems associated with it are highlighted in this serial, especially those that come with joint families. However, joint families are not only an Indian concept. I for one know some Chinese till date follow this tradition too (just like some Indian families).

Dev and Sona will never be a nuclear family coz IShwari will remain with them. Hence this whole drama that is about a mother-in-law becoming a mother to the girl whom her her son loves and marries.

Welcome to the forum !!!

You certainly have valid points it has advantages and disadvantages too

Living with the boy's family should give the new DIL/wife the comforts of a family the warmness and she should be able to learn the traditions if any
but in Sonakshi's case its only Nikki and Ria that truly appreciates her while Ishwari gets uncomfortable seeing Dev and his wife together seeing Dev with his inlaws
Ishwari brought in more insecurity for herself as she went to Dev's in laws to get her son back home and seeing him happy seeing him calling his MIL as maa has pulled the rug from under her feet so she ignores Sona treats her as if she has no importance in the Dixit house
while Sona goes through everything not complaining once to Dev and he thinks he is doing great as a husband
