While Sonakshi is really sweet and a wonderful person, she is immature when it comes to handling these tricky relationships with in-laws!

Sonakshi is going to one extreme where she feels it necessary to put her point across in every situation which will not be accepted even after 20 years of marriage forget about 2 months of marriage.So really it shows her immaturity there.Ishwari is a MIL. If Sonakshi wants to be in her good books, she needs to understand that she is not her Mom that she can order her around. There is a difference -especially in the first few years of marriage. It takes a lot of time to be able to order your MIL around even if it is for the MIL's own good. After close to 20 years of marriage, I am finally almost there.But I still have to be careful!

She needs to really focus on building a trustworthy relationship with her husband. At the end of the day, this will matter the most. As of now, I don't see anything between them. They are just like 2 room mates living in the same house. They had a much better relationship before marriage and they need to keep that spark going. Dev does love Sona a lot,but he is a people pleaser. He does not want to make anyone unhappy. It is absolutely shocking that he is such a successful business man. Sona needs to make him open up - not by making him do silly chores- but by making time to spend with him. This is not just physical proximity- it is taking the time to talk about themselves. their aspirations, their careers, their life- not just family!

Neha is acting pretty much how a typical nanad would act if the Bhabhi starts interfering too much in her mom's house. This is also a very delicate relationship and it is really better to stay away sometimes especially when the nanad is making it clear to stay away! The trust comes with time.

Ishwari is possessive and also very rigid when it comes to her ways. Since she has been running the house for ever, it is not easy to accept a new person especially in the kitchen which is her territory! Sonakshi is trying too hard to please her, to fit in. She needs to let go. Just focus on her job, take baby steps at home and enjoy her newly wedded life with her husband whenever she gets a chance.

I just felt like sharing this because a DIL is all excited to be a part of the new family but at the same time has to take it really slow. It is easy to become a new member of the house, but to be accepted as "family" takes a lot of time and patience. Acceptance doesnt happen over night just because you get married.It is a slow and steady process.

Agreed. Sonakshi is making the same mistake that Dev made when he told his mother about his love interest

I know many of us are straightforward in many ways. But certain politics should be involved in making things right. Ab tak to koi bewakoof b samajh jayega that ur advices and ur views are not welcomed by ue family so pls tell ur point of view to those only who understand it like dev or mamaji. Not necessary to share all ur views with ishwari who is still living in past and have a traditional way of thinking. And if ur want ur husband to follow ur advice than pls make it clear to him that ur name should not come in between as everybody would be unhappy. But sona ur have to go far to be adjustable in family.

if I have to say something then I would say sona is a big fool. she just wants to
set everything right without anybodys help. first of all she doesn't have
a foothold in that house & she tries to correct all matters. now without anyones help how is she going to do that.
