Mother-in-law can be a mother or just remains an aunty? This question can be addressed from our favourite show. Wait, I am not going to compare Asha and goddess Ishu. It will be between Sona's Daadi and Dev's Maa Ishu.
I thought about this after seeing Asha's expression towards Bijoy's question in yesterday's episode. Was Bijoy too bad towards Asha? We can't answer this w/o seeing any episode mentioning about any incidents in their early marriage life. But one think is very evident from the start of show that daadi was/is always a pillar of support to Asha rather than for Bijoy. Thus this means Asha has not traced a path of life like that of Sona. Hence no comparison between Asha and Sona.
Coming to main MIL's of the show, both are illiterate (daadi comparatively better than Ishu, I think so😉), strongly dependent on their respective sons. Daadi was never shown as one who was so possessive of her son. She didn't even interfered with Bijoy-Asha treating Asha's niece Elena as their own daughter whereas Ishu can't even tolerate Dev being close to his wife's relation in pre-leap session.
So my bottom line question is, even after daadi being so good to Asha, she is unhappy for some unknown reasons in Bose family maybe because she didn't receive the support from Bijoy as she expected. She is a hidden soul and does she expects her beloved daughter Sona to experience it yet again? Why the hell she wrongly advices her? 😡
