What can we expect from a woman who thinks Sai has nothing to live for apart from her husband. For UM, Sai's whole life should revolve around a "happy" life with damaadji and Sai's sasuraal. She forced the girl who considers her a mother figure to get married even though she didn't want to. She swings like a yo yo/pendulum. She is also angry at Virat for his actions but she wants Sai to get back with Virat immediately. She expects that Sai will immediately jump up and go back to CN.
If she truly wanted to be supportive, she'd told Sai that she would work and contribute financially. UM could work as a maid, or a cook or even be in a clerical position in an office/school etc. Maids make a pretty decent livelihood. People sometimes look down upon it but the truth is that no urban household can run without the kaamwaali bai. Infact i had done actual calculations once and a bai can easily make more money than a fresh out of med school intern(house surgeon). So basically UM is actually in a MUCH better position to support the running of a home than Sai is- Sai cannot realistically do even a part-time job given how busy/hands on an mbbs course is. I remember in mbbs days also we used to have 5.5 -6 working days/week. Saturday used to be half day but it was almost till 1-2pm sometimes. Sunday would go in studying/catching up on regular chores. And in PG its only worse in terms of hours no matter what specialty you choose.. In india doctors/teachers/public servants like police etc are the WORST paid. Literally peanuts for the amount of time/effort that goes into the job. A doctor in india takes forever before they are established enough to make a decent living and they work insane hours to earn that even in private sector.
Forgive the rant.
Kahne ka tatparya hai that UM character is utterly useless.🙈 UM wants to remain unemployed and just live with someone doing ghar ke kaam for free and get a floor to sleep on. Thats why Sai said mein filhaal 2 logon ka kharcha nahin utha sakti! 😅🙈
