WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT KUL

Kul, kul, kul...

Yes, she loves her daughters, but sometimes I wonder if she loves her ambitions just as much.

The show leads us to believe that she loves her daughters, but I believe it is not unconditionally. Clearly she has a big hang-up with WEALTH, not being WELL-OFF but, rather, WEALTH. And lots of it! Perhaps her life with Mr. Kohli had been very stressful, with a lot of uncertainty (this is only in an economic sense; she does love her husband and he her), AND disappointing with regard to her expectations. She does not want her daughters to go through the same thing.

Great. Got it. Understandable. But when Trishna and Yuvraj fell in love and wanted to marry, and Tanya was raped, Mrs. Kohli's amibitions weighed in. She set things in motion that would preserve her DREAMS (of course for her daughters) 😆 . Tanya/Yuv and Trishna/Deep vivaahs are her Grand Plans come to life. Deep, Mr. $$$$$$, liked Trishna who, in turn, loved Yuv. You think Kul would ever let such an opportunity pass?

So my controversial conclusion about her as a person: She does not know how her daughters would be happy, despite their pleas, and she does not really care. She thinks Money is all that will ensure happiness. That somehow her daughters were marrying up, the very thing SHE herself was not able to do.

Now that she ---ooops, her daughters----have what they want and need in life, that is it. No matter how many tears, no matter the trauma, no matter how the girls' hearts are broken---it's all good. Mr. Money will make them smile, make their 😆 dreams come true. Rich log. Now they know class and they will be happy in their homes (not of their choosing clearly) because if you can have lakhs lakhs and lakhs, money will buy the happiness for you.

So now we have Deep's family looking down on the Kohli's, on Trishna's marriage to Deep. Oh my god! Middle-class folk! in our rich family? Middle-class don't have the elegance, class, and sensibilities of the rich. This thinking is disgusting to see and hear, but it comes to demonstrate a terrible lesson in the works for Dear Old Kul, mommy of Trishna $$$$$ and Tanya, who was raped and now doesn't need to worry about.

Mothers are sacred in so many ways to most people on earth. And most mothers, like Kul, have justified dreams for their daughters--happiness, security, family. But truly good mothers don't superimpose their dreams on their grown kids, and especially those kids who have found their happiness with someone who is kind, does well for himself, respectful, selfless, and loving.

This is the TEST Kul fails. I know everyone will say she did what's best for her daughters. As mentioned above, I think this is only partly true. She was perfectly happy taking the happiness of her daughter, throwing that aside, and saying money and a rich family will make her happy. The scary part is that she really, really believes this.

Hence, it is with particular amusement and satisfaction that I watch Kul get poked once in a while by Deep's family. Reminded where she is from. Reminded where they are. And I love it when she spins a bad encounter with them into a good one, reinforcing to the Kul in her head that Trish is so lucky, that she's done the best for her, etc. I do hope Kul learns her lesson -- and, unfortunately, the hard way, that she did not listen to her daughters. That she does not appreciate the things around her. Fine, they may not be grand but they're good. There's love and noise and affection in her home, and no couch, table, TV set can compete. Kul did not respect the love or wishes in their hearts, but her girls respected her wishes. That money is everything. That money can take tears away. That everything would be fine at the end because her daughters are where they are.

I think this is so sad. And when her daughters find out about her "under the table" dealings, she will lose so much more.

Go Kul, go! You clearly are a visionary matchmaker. Oh, and Kul requests all to bring their checkbooks for services or daughters rendered.

I don't like her either. In the US we are at the part that Rajdeep arrived last week and she is still after Trish/Raj to break them up and set up Rajdeep. When I watched the part when she is talking with her husband that she made a mistake of getting married with someone poor she doesn't want her daughters life like that. I swear if I was her husband I would have slapped her. She said some very mean things to him. Basically she is not happy because they don't have money and she shouldn't have gotten married into the family. Well wait until she finds out her daughters life isn't great and they are miserable. Then the money can flash before her eyes all it wants. I am very disappointed in her. I really felt bad for Trish when she was begging her mother to be with Raj and she didn't listen to her one bit and all she could think about was money. She rather see her daughters miserable but with money, because it does but happiness doesn't it???????

what i think pushed it was the fact she did everything to separate them. WHY?? raj is not that poor. I would understand if your daughter was some billion dollar princess and wanted to marry a pauper. But it's not that bad.

I dont like her a bit ...even if she thought that money can give happiness to her daughters ..she could have said that in a nice manner...but the way she mistreated Raj and Trishna ..her own daughter was not from concern but from greed.....Trishna fell ill, had high BP ,but she didn't care alll she could think was MOney...She literally pushed Trish towards Raj in the begining and then started hating her ...and when it was time for Tany a she gladly took his help..seriously what kind of woman is she with no morales or integrity,

Personally I hate her character. It is really badly written ..she is portrayed as one who cared abt no one but wealth ..she never cared abt her daughters happiness...and now both Trishna and Tanya are living with same luxuries ..but none of them is happy.

It's so funny, SIDROM, when you mentioned Trish being sick. I had this silly vision of the extent to which Kul would go to get Deep as her son-in-law. Hell, Trish could be weak in a wheelchair, and knowing Kul, she'd probably push it around for the pheras!

I truly believe that Kul is scarred from not having the wealth she dreamed of. It never left her. Of how much she's had to suffer and sacrifice, huh? Yes, money is great, I could not live without a comfortable and secure (not luxurious) base. But I think anyone knows after some time that a person that loves you, and whom you build a family and life with -- if you take these things away, but you have tons of $$$$, you're life is just not very fulfilling.

I think all of us realize Kul loves her daughters. But no matter how much Trish begged her, she stood in the way of her daughter's happiness. Her outburst to Mr. Kohli, a nice and gentle man and father, made it even more apparent -- after all these years, nothing holds a candle to cha-ching, baby. It's odd that so many times, I've thought of her as a quasi-pimp--I know for this statement I'm going to get quite a few - oh, who am I kidding)-- a lot of verbal lashings, but I really feel that way. I've looked at Kul smile at the wedding ceremony and the completion, despite her daughters looking ill--like she, Kul Kohli, was able to do what noone including her husband, could do her. Her dream was now realized. HER DAUGHTER was now married to a big industrialist. The feeling of richness has entered her home (not that she wants $$$ for herself).

Let's see how it plays out. But Kul is one piece of work. And there are going to be consequences for her and her girls. Not everyone is going to live happily ever after--except of course, her.

I am beginning to doubt if Kul really loves her daughters..think about it - Trish is mad at Tanya and she thinks Tanya ruined her life, stole her love etc.. Tanya is miserable at this..the whole family thinks Tanya did a big mistake marrying Raj and the least Kul could do is clear misunderstandings in her own family - atleast between the 2 sisters who are frustrated with each other...

it seems like instead of doing that, she is happy with current situation coz she got what she wanted - a bada ghar ka rishta for Trish and a warm-hearted guy to accept a raped Tanya...and she can go around telling " i got my girls married in rich families"

i blame her for killing the love in the family between the 2 sisters and making the whole situation awkward for everyone...
I mean she is making Tanya look bad in front of everyone in the family- the Tanya who has taken enough flak and is continuing to take more..
As for Trish, she will always live with the bitterness towards Raj and Tanya - the Raj who sacrificed his love for Kul's family and the Tanya who has already suffered a lot in life

But Kul is only concerned with how she thinks her daughter's lives to be and what she wants should happen and it is okay if they are miserable about it right under her nose
