O bai! hum chandan ki tarah gis gaye. Illaichi waali chai will always remind us of Taiji!
In her introductory scene, she is shown entering Naina's house with puja ki thaali and chanting gayatri mantra which shows she is a religious lady and considers this house as her own. Next we see her staring at Bela in shock for singing and dancing a bollywood song which shows she is very orthodox and strict whom everyone in the family fear.
Then she is shown scolding Naina and Preeti for dancing on chandni song while watching TV which again shows she is very orthodox and cares too much about log baag kya kahenge...
We are also informed through tauji that it was she and her husband who got whole family to city from village. So they have been responsible and dutiful all their life to wards their family.
Than we are shown a 7-8 year old boy calling her Mummy.. this is what strikes me the most.. I thought what would have been her life like before Pralay was born? Wouldn't her husband and his brother's family be everything for her? Given 90s scenario, a women without kid must have been put through a lot of humiliation and torture, specially when her 2 younger co-sisters have had 2 kids each. As the elder most Puja would be somewhere around 21, she must have been married for more than 25yrs easily and younger most preeti is around 16yrs which means she must be facing all taunts for at least 15-20 years... A woman has to be strong enough to face the taunts by people and her insecurities to loose her respect in the family for not having kids in that era.
May be that's what made her so bitter, rude and harsh...
