Please bare my long post.
See thats ingrained in any bahu or daughter in law to hate mother in law or husband mom from childhood by parents, family, movies, serials, society etc
hey, I am glad that you agree that even DILs can have misunderstandings about MILs, otherwise I always hear that only MIL is wrong.
Yes, it is also true that MILs think that DIL will take away his son, but you know its very natural, it is as much natural as the wife thinking that his husband is paying more attention to his mom.
I also understand that the wife who has left her family and has come with him needs attention, but at the same time, the women who has spent so many years with his son can just not leave everything so easily.
all 3 parties need to compromise thoda thoda.
It is the mans duty to maintain the balance between both the women, it is the MILs duty to make her DIL feel comfortable at her new home, at the same time it is the duty of DIL to make her MIL feel secure and assure her that he was, is and always be your son.
But I don't know you will agree on this or not, lekin our generation which is the younger generation will have to bent little more as compare to our elder gen, this is because they have lived a life in a way for approx 35-40 years, now it is not possible to change themselves completely specially when the MIL is not working, if she is not working then it is very difficult for her to change because she has not seen anything other than her house, she knows utna hi jitna her mom and her in-laws told her.
That's why I don't blame Anupama for how she thinks about many things because she has lived that life only, I don't even blame her for how she considers everyone her family.
I blame her for her hipocracy, I blame her for how she keeps abusive baa and bapu ji on her head but misbehaves with MD. I would have tried to understand her situation if she would have considered MD as "bade Bhagwaan" wala thing as she does with Shah buzurg (elders).
coming back to my topic ki yes, MILs are bad in so many families, yes in many families they are hell abusive, but it is not true everywhere, in many families either too much interference by the third party or just small small misunderstandings become very bigggggg.
I remember a very beautiful thing said by MS Sudha Murti, see how much she earns but how grounded she is, I don't know why I have some soft cornor for South Indian people, although I am a North Indian, but I like how they keep balance between our culture and the modern thoughts.

She also said that the older generation should try to give as much as possible, try to detach themselves if possible. However this statement is not given in this link.
As per law ancestral house if for all grand kids no son or daughter can own it. Sr kapadiya built it so anuj house is ancestral so all grand kids can stake claim on it. So why anupama keeps saying my house my house is a mystery? ancestral house goes to kids or grand kids each gen unless owner who built writes one name as owner.
That's what I am saying from so long, I mean I am not getting this, how come this Anuj Kapadiya is just transfering property from one person to another, bhai technically it should go to CA, Muku and if senior Kapadiyas have mentioned in their will then even to Ankush's children because the house was built by Anuj Kapadiya's father so only if he has mentioned then only it will go to Ankush and his children.
Now Anuj or Vanraj is not liable to pay Pakhi's for her living Pakhi toh chodo kisi kaa pay karne ki zaroorat nahi hai other than Dimpy because as per the law if DIL is widow toh taking care of her is in-laws responsibility.
