Happy happy Family!

Of course it's an emotional chord but somewhere the peer pressure and societal norms sure is the reason behind it all... What if in reality a mother/father doesn't even know the whereabouts of the other parent? What if the father doesn't want to marry again in memory of his lost wife but the society pressurizing him to remarry for the kid's sake and make a hell out their house where they are not bothered except for gossiping about it... What about the new genders (lesbian/gay) who are adopting kids.. The change has to start somewhere to make the society adapt to the new changes😊... People evolve only if we allow the evolution.. Else we can continue to be clinging to the reasons/excuses from the past, making tall claims that these are the standards that the society has impregnated in us... All just as mere excuses because WE are the society... And if we don't change our mindset then nothing else will change around us!😊😊

PP standing ovation for the evolution thought. This also reminds me of Swades tremendously precious dialog - whenever we cannot fight with something better with our own capability, we bring tradition and culture into the argument to make ourselves feel better. A dialog which would remain valid in all generations and ages.


I cannot understand the desperate need to show women as weak entity altogether. Everywhere around me, women with feminine features, weak traits, get more sympathy (read attention) and are more heard of. Their demands are met first. But let a strong confident woman demand the same, omg one should see how they are put against so many arguments and useless talks before one of their demands is heard ! Crying women give some special kind of happiness or satisfaction to the male ego I believe.


Sona is an outstanding television character in India. More power to girls like her and families like Boses who stand rock solid behind such girl and show the world that women are no less than a man. I love it how each of her freedom, each of her proof to have wings now, is being criticized and wondered by Ishwari. Such a small petty woman. Everytime Dev tries to undermine her achievement, he reminds me of the 100 bosses around me who love women who stroke their ego by showing 'feminine' traits than standing tall and sounding right. Baba, Bijoy, Asha and Dada - I can never get enough of them <3. So so relatable to any modern household family.


Soha, if lands in Dixit house (for her own demand or for Dev's custody drama) will realize soon why her mother made an exit from that house. Ishwari having being blessed with Soha reminds me of the classic scene from the latest Devdas movie - aayi toh thi duaayein dene tere ghar chaand sa beta ho, par ab toh yahi dua nikalti hai ke tere ghar bhi chaandni se abaad ho, tere ghar bhi beti ho ! Life teaches some most valuable lessons to people when they are pushed to the corner. Ishwari either can change her outlook towards women as a whole after knowing about Soha, else she can live in forever misery and distress by not having any other grandchild at all. But in no way Soha should be allowed to grow up in such toxic demeaning suffocated environment which is full of discrimination and crap.


P.S - Ishwari reminds me of Joey's scene from Friends where he was so depressed that he made a jolly jumpy dog sad and depressed within few hours and Phoebe calls him off for that 😆 . Depression and suffocation is viral. One should stay as far as possible from it. 😉

I agree. Each individual has the right to decide his own destiny. Today, live-in relationships are steadily increasing in Cities, while dating is finding its way into every household. Girls and Women are moving out of the comfort of their homes to find jobs elsewhere. Financial independence has become a necessity for women as couples move towards a better standard of living. Adoption,fertility treatments, surrogacy are not a hush-hush topic anymore. But marriage is a sacred thread that binds two people together. Once two people decide to spend their lives together, some changes needs to be accepted and a person needs to adapt to change. As a woman, I consider adaptability, trust snd respect to be key success ingredients of a successful marriage. While divorces are paramount today, with very flimsy reasons being argued upon for divorce, it's important for couples to actually sit down and think whether they are doing the right thing!!! Divorce, separation or estrangement should not be seen as a window to freedom when no domestic abuse, dowry etc are involved.

@bold - I haven't watched Swades movie.. thanks for quoting that precious dialogue.. Truly precious! YES.. It's very true... All time fall back... Society norms... That's part of our tradition & culture... No shift would have happened if those rarest of rare ones haven't even tried and had hidden behind these ideologies! 😉

You must watch Swades. Recommending this 😛. A movie way ahead of its time. 😉

The Bose family never fails to entertain me... enlighten me... encourage me in whatever simple and easy ways that they handle situations... 🤗

Baaba is the best and I can see my late father in him... And I can very well see my husband getting there when it comes to our daughter 😆but I think our daughter is very determined and will not allow our interference just like us! 😆

IKR !! Hurt my daughter and I will rip off your chest. 😆 That is how my dad is too . And I am not sure about my husband, but I would definitely be a mom like that, already as a sister I am close to that since my younger sis is 10 yrs younger to me and is still a kid, no one dares make her cry without her fault 😆

Agree.. I would love to see the CVs keeping Soha in her good Bose form even if she gets into the mad house... 😉 Not letting anyone take a ride on her... Even Dev should be taken aback by her boldness... 😉 Anyway the CVs make her talk a lot like adult and there should be a reason for it... I have anyway seen such kids in real too.. Quite mature for their age... I at times feel my daughter is too innocent for her age... 😆

Soha indeed would be a shocker to everyone in Bose house specially Ishu. She must be like 'haww being a girl kainchi ki tarah zubaan' with her low petty mentality nothing better is expected than this. 😆 Only Dev might enjoy that, since he was pretty NOT-AN-MCP in S1 and if anything of that is left in him, he should be enjoying that 😆

@red: Absolutely... 😆 Joey sure has that capacity with his dramatic moods at times... 🤣 Poor that jolly jumpy dog... 😆

Agree with u 100%. Sonakshi has been shown thinking about Soha and Dev matter and deffinately will take sensible decision without any drama.

Sonakshi is forming her decision. She may take less than 5 minutes to take every decision, but Soha is her heart. So she takes extra care to protect her. The thoughtful looks are clear indication that she is giving the matter a thought. She is not shutting up people around her saying that she doesn't want to talk about it or that's none of anyone else's business. The fact that she is open to discussion means she is torn between Soha's wish, her own doubts about Soha's true feelings and her own fear...
