I'll spell this out, since the subject field and poll question are too limited.
We've seen Jyoti go out of her way to help Sushma and even Brij ever since finding out about her from Deepu & Padma. Those who appreciate her values would definitely admire this saintly aspect of hers to look beyond the fact that such gestures are unappreciated not only by Sushma, but by Padma as well. No matter what, she'd do anything for her maakya.
But now, there is also her sasural, and here, what she is doing is not above board. First of all, she supresses any information about Sushma from Pankaj, even though there is no reason to (actually, the only reason is that it's been lies from day 1), and to support that, she treats her sasural like it's not her own. So even if one admires her loyalty towards her maakya, she's also being equally disloyal towards her in-laws by either lying to them, or supressing such a major portion of her life. If she had disowned Sushma & Brij completely and didn't give 2 hoots about them, this might have been justified under the grounds of moving on, but here, she on one hand, is worrying herself sick about Sushma and even disrupting the evening w/ Pankaj, while keeping him in the dark about what's bothering her.
The question - is this double standard making you like Jyoti less, to the point that if this is the thing that gets her kicked out by Pankaj, you'd say that she created this situation and deserves what she got?
Or would you say that despite anything she does, she's suffered enough, and doesn't deserve to suffer more?
Oh, and one more option I left in - if you happen to be one of those saintly Yudhisthir types who thinks that no matter what Sushma does to her, she's her little sister and Jyoti should continue helping her, even if it risks wrecking her marriage, looting her providend fund, and other self destructive activities, then option 4 above is for you.
