if everybody is SO nice then why so many misunderstandings? therez no reason actually..hence they resort to miscommunication, secrecy , fear etc. to run the serial...yes, it's a decent serial and it's quite different from the rest....but overall if we look at it, therez no plot 🥱 we have diff. reasons to watch it ..yes.....if naitik wasn't there, i wouldn't have started watching it in the first place..

yes.. i agree di.. but dnt u think dis miscommunication, secrecy and fear is sumthng to which even u can relate to.?? my mother says she too faced a similar set of problems when she came to my father's house.. my grandmother sumtyms misunderstood her.. and even my father.. n it was all because she did not speak her heart out.. she tried to be diplomatic.. only itz a few years from now that she has started voicing her opinions.. n now when she has started doing this.. even then she's misunderstood.. so.. watever u do.. itz bound a have an impact thatz gud as well bad to u.. my mother too in order to please my grandparents sumtyms disappointed my father and in order to please my father.. she ended up hurting my grandparents..
theres no plot as such.. i agree.. but tracks and relations shown in this serial is sumthng to which everyone can relate to.. my mother says she specially relates to the relation between akshara and gayitri.. also.. she was from a liberal family and my father's family is a bit conservative.. even i see the difference here.. so.. even my mother found it hard to adjust at my grandparents place at the beginning of her marriage.. the same happened with akshara..
so in all.. this is wat we all relate to.. n dats y we watch it...

eiiiii...aiaiaiai 😊, so sorry I couldnt come earlier 😔.

I am so happy to see your response. I really dont know much about India or its customs, so I can only tell from what I see and how it effect me.

I myself am in India now, being a Polish the weather or custom is all very alien. This show, when I saw it, scared me a little 😃 (I hope you understand). But my mother in law in India (I am married to an Indian) is very kind and think of this show as unbelievable. Maybe she more sympathetic to my foreign nerves? 😃

But if a girl find it ok to deal with so much responsibility and restriction, or situation, then I think its ok.

A girl need to make a lot of adjustment in India when married (as far as I learnt). I try my part, being from Poland (Europe) it is not that I am bred in this atmosphere, but I see these TV series with Sameera (my sister in law to get married soon) and she translate very well also 😃.

I dont know which positive or negative comment I am worthy to make on this serial's messege. But I find it quite overwhelming.

The other series which I am watching is a girl who aborted her child (rishtaa also but another channel). So thats a stark contrast! I oppose killing a baby in womb bitterly. But again, its my perspective. A job does not give so much respect, it is just one need and every human is entitled to it if they need (girl or boy). Human life and peace among loved ones is more important. But in this series ... its so overwhelming ja? (hope you understand what I am saying).

But as I said, lucky in my mother in law 😃. She is so kind to me! SAVED! 😃

ur right dear...i faced similar problems and i'm still facing them now..i never voice my opinion my front of my MIL and she misunderstands me most of the time..but i dun do it to avoid any fights in the family....also, i dun want my hubby to go through this mental tension coz of me...i dun want him to choose b/w his mom and me...i know it's gonna be tough for him...he's on my side always, even if i'm wrong....that's the only reason i'm surviving despite having a MIL of totally diff. nature ! that way i do relate to akshara..whatever problems she faced were realistic BUT the solutions to those problems were unrealistic....u tell me is it possible to love a saas like gayitri ? everybody does make adjustments but frm inside we feel hurt ..but we don't WANT to change ourselves so much to suit others needs ! if i change myself acc. to my MIL taste then my husband will not like it and vice versa...but Akshara did it..and see..she'll suffer in long run....she and varsha both ! how many DIL's in this country love their MIL more than their husbands?

totally agree with u.. solutions to are a big problem in this serial.. rite from the starting.. we see solutions which are out of this world.. be it the kaka-kaki track.. (i was doing a post moretem on this track n realised that it was meant to show ki wen u choose ur in-laws when ur given a choice between ur hubby and in-laws... relationship between a couple get strained.. but the ending was so horrible that i cudn't even understand wat was the main motive behind all this.!!).. same in the mohini drama.. when naksh were confronting each other.. they did not talk abt y akshara hid such a big thing from naitik.. but all the other things.. y did u go.. u ddn pick up my call.. u ddn talk to me.. etc. etc. etc.. same thing happening rite now.. i noe wen akshara will confront naitik.. he'll say i ddn noe varsha was ill dats y i was not letting u go the mayka.. but fact is akshara is upset with him for an alltogether different issue..
the main problem here is slow screenplay.. as i always say.. cv's too get pissed off that they dnt remember wat they hav shown earlier.. had the serial been a little more fast paced.. everythng wud start falling in place..
