That was intentional as well.
Tulsi was meant to depict women who constantly take care of everyone but forget to take care of themselves. Their bodies would sometimes never lose the weight they gained during pregnancy, there would be stretch marks forever on them. They would take on the responsibility of the well being of the whole family ignoring the mental, emotional and physical toll that they themselves bore.
This was meant to depict the lives of those women whose husbands would cheat on them when they didn’t look youthful and beautiful as they once did, or as well put together as they were once; ignoring that these women were not being lazy or slobs or whatever; but they were being wives and moms who lost themselves in the process of looking after everyone they considered family.
The husband after all does cheat on such a devoted woman who gives him her whole life, youth, beauty, along with children; for a more attractive woman. Someone who looks like a prize on his arm worthy of a man like him. They have simply spared Mihir some dignity here by ensuring that Noyna was not half his age, young enough to be his daughter but a contemporary. Yet one who looked more modern and well put together than his wife, not to mention slimmer.
The sleeping in saree thing is something that happens in almost all shows for heroines to make them seem more sanskari. I don’t know why a kurti with churidar or a nightie or a night dress would cause an earthquake but producers want this for their heroines. I don’t follow a lot of Indian TV shows tbh and usually stick to one at a time because that’s enough to fry my brain. The last show I watched was YHM and Ishita would be shown wearing a short kurti with churidar at night in the show. But in original K shows, the older Tulsi and Parvati were shown the more they kept them in sarees always. Even in scenes where they were in bed for reasons beyond my comprehension.
