Exactly! This ideal family that they are trying to portray is not a real thing! They are trying to create a palace of happiness on the foundation of sacrifices of their individual hopes, dreams, and ambitions. Relationships need adjustment and compromises but not sacrifices!
I’d genuinely call it a palace of illusions. My in-laws have a joint family and trust me, we all have a life and love each other. We had to move out of town given our education and opportunities that came our way. My elder sister in law is a home maker, and the elder brother stayed because he was interested in taking the family business forward. The youngest son and couple, they have a juggling arrangement with the family taking turns to take care of parents. We visit every festival, even if it's for a day. No one's dreams are crushed. I wake up late while my sister in law cooks morning meals. I take care of cleaning and stuff after waking up and evening dinner. The younger one would be given responsibilities like serving etc. We all don't give up our hopes. Nobody questioned us for moving out or being a total feminist, unlike the patriarchal set-up of the household. They try to understand; I try to make them know. For ages, my younger devar couldn't call me with great respect given our familiarity pre-marriage. We have our share of fights, but no one beats each other despite being from a small town
@bold - I second that! But no, they won't do this in the show. Their whole life will remain centered around this one small store!
Raavi's dream seems to become a perfect housemaker, I have nothing against that. In fact, I respect her choice for the job of housemaker is an extremely difficult one. And it is her own choice, nobody forced her to make this choice.
I appreciate Raavi for wanting to do the most challenging job on earth-homemaker. But, imagine Raavi without her bodyguard Shiva or her family. Who is she? Will she be able to survive in the world without support. I am all in for division of labour but trust me; women should have financial and emotional independence. Raavi isn't capable of survival beyond her family or Shiva. This puts her in a weak spot. I am good with women choosing not to earn, but they at least need to have the strength to fend for themselves if the need be. Currently, there's nothing in her character that suggests at any form of capability apart from her goodness of heart. She needs to grow up.
But Rishita, ah, I ain't sure about her. She doesn't seem to want anything else other than being loved and cared for by Dev and Dev alone😆Her desire is to have Dev's life revolve solely around her. Other than that she seems to want to do nothing.
