They love her more than anything else. In a very small period of time she has mingled with them efficiently, don't you think so?
"Treat your mother-in law as a good friend", says Gopi
You always ensure to clear the air about any doubt with your mother, then why behave differently with your mother-in-law? Just follow the same thing at your in-laws place too. Treat your mother-in-law as your own mother and let her realize that she holds a very important position in your life. Gopi shares everything with Kokila and this has worked wonders in their relationship.
"Be affectionate", says Sushila
Clashes are ought to happen if you are staying in a family. But the golden rule is to ignore everything and tackle things easily. Handle things lovingly rather than make it worse. Sushila and Sandhya too follow this and have emerged as winners when it comes to gaining their in-laws' love and affection.

The ideal bahu exists only in the screen. If there was an ideal relationship in real life, we would have zero complaints. 😵
