Hey calm down this is just a serial. Every thing in it is exagerated. I am not saying there are no Gujarati families that are control freaks like the show gandhi family, but in reality there are a lot of Gujarati families where spouses form other cultures have married and are living happily with acceptance from the whole family.

Would you rather marry in a Punjabi family like Sweetie's in-laws who BAN their daughter-in-law from the house for no fault of her and specially when she is pregnant with their grand child?
The potrayal in RMJ is very one sided. They show Mona's family ( Punjabi family) very fun loving and perfact and Gandhi Family ( Gujarati family) very rigid and control freak.
Believe me , I have seen some Punjabi families that would make Gandhi family look good.
I am not promoting that the way Mona is blamed for everything is right but to continue the serial they have to show some drama. if suddenly the Gandhi women change their ways then there would not be a story line.

Mona and her family is constantly being abused by Anukalap's family. They taunt her all the time and she has to take it, she cannot tell them to shut up and stop abusing her, she is getting abuse for being alive and being born as punjabi and marrying their son..sick racists. The Gujju family clearly hates punjabis and they are driven by this hate and abuse Mona all the time. Mona is stupid to let Gujju girl marry her brother. These are not good people, they are number one control freaks and abusers.


As a punjabi I am very offended the way Gujju women abuse Mona for being a Punjabi and according to some weird gujju sanskar Mona has to take the abuse.

In my opinion people who abuse are horrible but one who takes abuse is worse. Every human being be it daughter in law have or a servant, has right to dignity and equality. The abuse Mona puts up with on daily basis is making me sick...if these are Indian sanskar to put up with abuse then I have no respect for saskari families..

After daily dose of abuse Mona gets, she should back off or go back to her punjabi family and let gujjus abuse each other. Gujju joint family is family from hell, no sane person can live with them and keep their sanity.


I agree, I am surprised she has not spoken up for herself yet...Punjabi People usually don't take crap.

Totally agree. They are showing a lot of abuse and Mona and her family take it all. And to top it, I feel Anukalp also does not fully support Mona. He is always upset with her for some reason or other. The thing that Bharti deserved was to get a Gujju Vaishnav girl who would've been a slob and would've been a house-breaker. In spite of all the effort Mona makes, I don't see Bharti or anyone else in that family make even a slight effort to make her feel a part of the family.

Female infanticide, dowry seeking from brides family as if the girl is burden and glorifying males gender are number one sanskar.

I cringe everytime Baa, Phui and Ambaji abuse insult punjabi's. Mona should see this and never ever ask Karan to marry Hetal. Karan should never ever marry in racist family run by racist domineering women.



Love dies if one has to take insults and abuses that is reality of life. Taking these kind of insults for anybody regardless of who it is is unhealthy and not right thing to do, it leads to depression and mental problems.

Mona has to realize that any family that insult and abuse you on daily basis and nobody stands up can never ever be your family. Mona has taken a role of somebody who is lowest in hierarchy and should be verbally punched and abused if anything goes wrong in the house. The whole sanskar business is bs.
I don't understand sanskar in which Mona an adult has to ask permission to go out of the house, she cannot visit her family across the street without permission, she is living under a house arrest, with Ambaji, Phui and Baa as her abusive jailers. Anukalap allows all the three jailers to abuse his wife and her culture on daily basis to prove his love for Ambaji and his extended family.



April,
I was never trying to say everything is perfect in India, it is not. I was only trying to say the good things in Indian sanskar far over exceeds the bad ones. Although I have not lived in India for many years, I do hear and read about female infanticides, dowry system(it is said to be illegal there), bride burning and also corruption among other things. I did not mean to offend or upset anybody. I would like to add couple things I sometimes ignore what they show in these serials.
I agree abuses and insults are not good for anyone's health, could lead to depression. Mona, I think ignores the insults and abuses thinking someday everything will turn to roses and smiles which is not reality. Have a good one!!!!!
