@bips. I totally understand where you are coming from. I agree she should talk nicely to them. But I think she gets scared that they will mess things up, so she thinking yelling at them will make them stop. I'm sorry but she needed to yell at Sudha about the court thing. I agree the chaturs are wrong, but how will having a court case fix anything. In the end even if they win it will be Toastys loss. Lalit told her her not to calmly and she still went and talked to the lawyer. Perhaps Toasty thought that yelling would make her understand. Toasty does love her mom, she even told her that, that she is very lucky. They are understanding and the Chaturs aren't.
Yelling and screaming fix nothing. This is something Pashu and Pitaji have to learn. Sometimes Sudha and dimple too. yelling at the Chaturs and saying that its all your fault now rot in hell, how does that fix anything. I know they are saying that out of love but they are thinking short term. Toasty and her dad think long term. Toasty doesn't want her marriage to break. I think if you watch Todays SBS segment you might see how Toastys method works. I don't want to say it in case people don't want any spoilers.
I understand you may disagree, we all have the right to our own opinions. There is no right or wrong way. I think Toasty is not a doormat. I know many people will not agree with me. I just think Toasty handles things differently than most people. Chaturs are wrong no doubt. But if you notice Toasty still has control over the whole family, even Pashu can see that. His whole family has turned against his decision. She knows how to handle them very well. Like a true leader.
Malti never got half the freedom Toasty did. Why? because Toasty never yelled and screamed for it. She just naturally got it. She knew she would with time. The mark of a true leader. Family life, should not be treated as a competition or how it is in the workplace. Think what would happen if our mothers acted like our house was their workplace. Our moms do everything for us, with little complaints. Imagine if they stood up and say you are treating me liek a slave. I cook and clean with little thanks you. I will not take this treatment, I am leaving. Wouldn't the family break? Toasty role in that house, is not of a daughter in law, it is of a sister and a mother. That's why I think Toasty acts like the way she does. Anyways this is getting to long and I am treating a fictional show likes its real life. This show offers such great discussions though. I wait for your response bips.
