A micro mini rant - Page 2

I hate Meera too! No Maa I cut that relationship 🤣

She is so bloody irritating with her sweet gyaani bache blah blah blah pathetic woman who makes women doormat!

Khud doormat and wants Priya to be doormat!

Isn't her selfish male child chahhat her love for Ram!

She is like those geeli puchi from irritating uncle yuck germs 🤢

Even Priya trolled her "itni kush hu" on Karwachauth day!

CVs show less of Meere please, or don't show her

No yaar, most of the earlier generation ladies will also ask the girl to adjust/compromise. I have seen this within my family too. They don't ask me how my work is or what am I working on. They are more worried about whether I can cook or why I am not getting married. I can understand the stance of Meera Maa.

By the way, how are you @Veruthe

Much better. Should be up by tomorrow!

I have a different take on this. It's an arranged marriage and Ram has been very kind and adjusting. He agreed to all terms and conditions that Priya's family put forward. Just because Akki & Shivi is going through a rough patch, Priya and Ram should not be affected by it. Also, Meera Maa is unaware of the fact that Ram is doing the same thing that Akki has been doing ie not revealing about Vedika to Priya. Knowing Priya, she thinks that Priya will just walk out of the marriage

But Ram and Priya are getting affected, right. Both of them care so much for their families, they can't just ignore the problems in ShiKki's marriage and live happily.. infact the very reason they got married was a compromise made for their respective siblings , i.e., ShiKki. Hence if their marriage fails, it's inevitably going to affect PriRa. They still haven't fallen that much in love with each other or rather I would say haven't realised their love for each other enough to be happy and unaffected in their lives even though ShiKki's marriage is falling apart..

And about adjusting, Priya is adjusting as much, if not more as Ram. And tbh Ram maybe a great human being but he, till now, is totally blinded by his 🐍 family and Vedika. When it comes to choosing between his family and Priya, he will always, always choose the former. He hasn't given her that place yet...that place of being an equal..as much important to him as his family. So what is Priya actually getting out of this marriage? Inspite of being right, the Soods are having to bear so much of insult, and Ram is not even ready to listen , let alone understand, the other perspective..the possibility that his family may be wrong. I would like to see how he redeems himself and how he apologises to Priya when all this matter gets cleared.

So, @blue, even if Priya does walk out of KM, can she be blamed? Why should Meera ma expect her daughter only to make the sacrifices and just keep adjusting and bearing all the hurt just to keep the marriage intact? Isn't she being selfish here? This is actually totally like many of the arranged marriages in India.. where the girls remain in an unhappy marriage just coz of the pressure put on to her by her maayke waale .

Read what I wrote above. Girls are conditioned that way from the very beginning. I had written a blog about it long back. We are taught all the wrong things. When we were growing up, we are given dolls, kitchen sets and we play the game "home". I am sure most of us have grown that way. It's kind of training that whatever we do in life, we need to look after the home and the kids. We are also taught to sit properly, look presentable etc ... Why all these?

If I start writing, I will end up writing essays, so stopping here. You can only expect such things from ladies of Meera Maa's generation. They are not wrong, they were conditioned that way! At present, Meera Maa wants to save her daughter's marriage. She is bit selfish that way and it is believable

I AM of Meera's generation, and while I concede that many are conditioned to "preserve the marriage at all (or very high) cost", this is by no means generally true nowadays. For one, this generation of girls/women are informed and independent and would ignore such suggestions, maybe going too far in the other direction.

I wouldn't have a problem with Meera advising Priya. What I detest is her practically forcing her into following her obviously ineffective rules of living. I wouldn't mind her being humble, or not so much, if she didn't carry it to the point of demeaning herself, and, by association, her entire family. Stand up straight, look people in the eye, and stop doing this 'oh please forgive me/mine. I'm so lowly and humble and meek, I will someday inherit the earth and hand it over to you because I'm soooo good.'

Meera is a poor role model from the impression so far. If any of her daughters is worth anything, it's in spite of her. Priya learned to be tough because the rest seem pretty unable to do anything at all.

Well, you may be one of the rare women of that generation. Hats off. The world needs more women like you.

The women is expected to work, run the family, look after the kids and what not. During the pandemic, I have come across many women, you didn't even have time to breathe. They were challenged during the lockdown because they had to do everything with little or no support from the spouse. Why? Because they were taught that everything is their responsibility. Here the parents (read mother) and the in laws (read mother in law) have to be blamed. There is a saying that the woman's greatest enemy is woman itself.

Yeah and that is the truth of the society but as a characters on TV shouldn't we be shown better? IMO showing regressive things puts out a wrong message to the society.. and balh2 is supposed to be a progressive show about modern day women and relationships . Meera ma is like most ladies of middle class India.. and that is the exact reason why I dislike her. I mean, such ladies get on my nerves in real life then why and how can I tolerate seeing the exact replica on tv ?

That you ask EK maa ... Stories with such characters will get higher TRPs

Hi everyone!! I just want to take a minute to rant about something tiny, I started watching balh 2 fairly recently just for timepass to cope after krpkab ended, and now I'd say I'm relatively invested, but my god I can't put into words how much I hate Meera maa 🤦🏻‍♀️

Why is she the epitome of all things good in the world in the most annoying way possible? Especially tonight's episode where she's like "don't talk to Ram like this, why do you want to drag your own marriage through the mud" after the way Ram spoke to and about Priya's brother. Does Priya not have every right to be mad at him? What kind of stupid advice does Meera maa give all the time? As a feminist, as a woman, I can't stand her!

Also just to add to this, why is Priya's family so obsessed with Ram? He's a nice guy, sure, but Meera maa fully worships him. Even Sara constantly looks like she's about to cry of pride at just being related to him.

Hello fellow KRPKABian!

I feel your pain, I hate Meera maa too. I'm some ways Nandini is so much better a mother than Meera maa.

The way she always wants her daughter to bend for the wishes of her son in law makes me think that just like her husband she also somewhere gives more priority to a son.

I hate the way she's always reprimanding Priya! The only scene i know where she stood up for Priya was against Rakhi. Otherwise she actually told Priya to be respectful when speaking to her father. The man who doesn't even deserves Priyas one second! 😡😡

And yes it does seem as if the whole family is just up his ass. I would not be surprised if one day we find out they opened a Ram Kapoor fan club together.

They all claim to love Priya but always put her below Ram 🙄

Bri and Kunal are the only people who respect Priyas feelings.

Meera maa toh useless hai. She's just there to give gyaan when required. Never uses it on herself though.
