Jyoti could have just supported the maakya materially i.e. w/ her salary that is, but avoid any emotional support for the same reason that she walked away from there. After all, when she goes there, her step-mother and step-sister, who she ostensibly cares about, resent her presence. So even by her own logic, if she is causing so much heartburn to them, why does she bother going there at all? After all, all Padma wanted was her money, and the only reason Padma called her for that Phagware Rasam was that KK was pretty upset that they couldn't do that for her. Otherwise Padma didn't give a f**k about Jyoti. Even when Padma wanted money for Sushma, Jyoti should have just given it to Padma (instead of Deepu) and told her to get lost.
Want to celebrate Sudha's graduation and job? Call her over - Uday too would enjoy the company. Want to enjoy some moments w/ Papa or Dadi - call them over, like at the Ganesh Puja. There is no need to ever go back to that house. This way too, she could have supported her maakya, w/o letting down the sasural. Only exception would have been Sudha's arrest, but here, Pankaj and Uday were fully involved, so this was almost as much a Vashisth family event. I don't agree w/ Jyoti wanting to raise money to pay back Pankaj for Sudha: for anyone else in the family, it would have been okay.
If the creatives are trying to cast Jyoti as a saint along the lines of a Yudhisthir, they already spoilt it when they showed Jyoti not even informing, let alone inviting, her own family to her wedding. In between, Jyoti did show some sense when she at one point rejected Sandeep's request to intervene w/ Sushma: it's high time she now gets back into that mode and makes it clear to the family that from this point on, only Sudhi matters to her.
