I think Jyoti would do fine as a full time bahu. Reason she worked was that her family needed her to, and when she did, she was fully stressed between 2 low paying jobs, coupled w/ extravagant demands from Padma, Deepu and Dadi. The demands only stopped after she walked out. Couple that w/ the emotional support she had to give Sudha, and she was torn apart.
In this case, there is no demand that she works (other than her own self driven goal to see that she's not perceived as a gold digger who's looting her in-laws to serve her parents), so absent that, she'd do fine as a full time bahu. Only reason she may be unhappy would be her inability to support KK & family, but that can be resolved by simply agreeing to keep the money flowing, in return for the fact that as a full time bahu, her in-laws are getting her most valuable asset - her time. Now, Sudha has started working, so pressure would ease on that front, but sooner or later, she and Uday are going to want to marry, and it's unlikely that they'd want the same arrangement as the one Jyoti initially had. So the sooner Deepu gets a promotion and can support the family (sans Sudha, who's earning her own), the better.
