She runs to her daddy for everything. She runs to him to whine about how people are being mean to her, how people arent listening to her, how people arent obeying her every command. I bet even if she pricks her finger, she will dun to her daddy and ask him which band-ait to apply
But if she sees that same relationship between 2 sisters, it is intolerable.
The scene where Maanvi came out of the box and hugged Jeevika made me tear up.
But Swamini was standing and practically glaring a hole into Maanvi's back.
She stood there happily singing happy birthday for her bahu, but if her Maayke-waale sang it for her, she didnt like it.
The Vadheras gave Jeevika such impersonal, materla gifts, which was to Swamini's stature
But the Choudharys gave Jeevika cheap, but extremely personal items, which she didnt like. She kept rollling her eyes as Jeevika opened each new present.
In the real world, when a new bahu's first birthday is celebrated, the in-laws make sure that the maayka-wale are there, because they would never rob either the girl, or the family of this special moment - the first birthday as a married woman.
But in Swamini's world, even one maayka-wali, just one single Maanvi was problematic, because 'Jeevika is a Vadhera bahu, she needs to throw away her emotions and attachment to her family and follow me around like a robot all day long. Why? Because I said so!"
Yuks
PS: Sorry for ranting. But if Swamini Bua dies in a tragic accident tomorrow, I will not be shedding any tears!
