Yesterday's precap got me thinking.Many of you may accuse Bhabo of discriminating between her son and daughter in law.Where she jumped with joy when her son was felicitated, the same happiness was not seen for her daughter in law.Where she was ok with Chavvi completing her graduation, same is not ok with Sandhya.I THINK WE MUST VIEW EVERYTHING IN THE CONTEXT OF THE MILIEU IN WHICH EACH PERSON IS BROUGHT UP.I do not think Bhabo loves her daughter in laws any less than her children.I have said it in other posts and am saying it again,Bhabo is not wrong from her point of view
Bhabo was very harsh with Sandhya in her initial days of marriage.That was a result of the frustration she felt at being cheated by Ankur about Sandhya being educated and her fear that her daughter in law may not respect her son as he was less educated.She was also terrified to see her son totally besotted and her possessiveness towards Suraj got the better of her.
Bhabo did not want Chavvi to study and was compelled by her in laws to agree.She is strict with Chavvi and makes her do household work so that she can be an ideal bahu.The same she expects from her BEENDANI AS WELL.
If Suraj or any member of the family is hurt including Sandhya she applies balm on their wounds.She specially made chaat for Meenakshi as she did not want Meena to eat outside and fall sick.Would a heartless mother in law do that?
She is not averse to the idea of Sandhya getting an award.It is the fear of after effects which pulls her down and makes her feel anxious.She knows in her subconscious mind where this will lead to.She knows that eventually there will be a talk of Sandhya completing her education and becoming a thanedarni.It is this inate fear which prevents her from enjoying Sandhya's award.It is this which makes her go to Sandhya's room and ask her to be Lakshmi not Durga.
I know all of you may be surprised to hear such a passionate defense of Bhabo by an educated working woman.Why I put forward these points yesterday and today is to make us see both sides of the coin.Every individual's personality is shaped by the environment in which he or she is brought up. Bhabo is not educated and has lived in a small town with conservative values all her life.How can she accept sweeping changes in her family overnight. Aren't we being in tolerant, as we accuse Bhabo of being,if we do not consider her apprehensions? CHANGE ALWAYS TAKES TIME. IT IS GOING TO BE AN UPHILL TASK FOR SURAJ TO CONVINCE HIS MOTHER.I DO NOT WANT HIM TO ENCOURAGE SANDHYA TO STUDY WITHOUT BHABO'S KNOWLEDGE AS SHOWN IN ONE OF THE CHANNELS. BHABO WILL COME AROUND AND SHE MUST BE TAKEN INTO CONFIDENCE BEFORE THEY START THE IPS TRACK. TO KEEP HER IN THE DARK WILL BE CRIMINAL. CVs I HAVE FULL FAITH IN YOU. YOU WILL I EXPECT NOT DISAPPOINT US IN THIS AS WELL.

U have explained everything so beautifully that nothing to say except I agree with you...!! But about the past I still think bhabo was overreacting when she discovered about Sandy's education... But now I totally understand why bhabo is feeling insecure... Sandy has done something which she couldn't even imagine from a girl... Still she is proud but she was so scared of loosing her bahu that time... So of course she doesn't want anything like this again... And she knows Sandy's habit of helping others and taking risks always... Thats why I dont blame her at all...!!!

Ayeshi ,I agree with you totally on this point.Like her children she loves Sandhya also equally and is afraid of losing her in some act of bravery.That is definitely a reason to warn her to keep away.

I agree with your post. Since Sandhya played with danger while tackling terrorists & bombs, Bhabo was proud as well as afraid of the risks of her DIL, just like any mother. So, convincing Bhabo is pretty tough, and next to impossible. Suraj will have to pursue Sandhya's dream secretively if Bhabo remain adamant on her stance, as he will have no other options.

Saibal, I have a different point of view here.If Bhabo remains adamant and Suraj makes Sandhya study secretively ,than there are two things which will happen.One once their lies are discovered a permanant rift may be created between the mother and son.If Suraj cannot live without Sandhya he cannot live without Bhabo here either.This can break the Rathi family.Secondly it is extremely difficult to believe that Sandhya can pursue her education and civil services preparation without anybody's knowledge for 3 yrs.Do not forget the prying eyes of Meena.Temporary starting of education without Bhabo's knowledge can be shown but not long term.They have to take her along.Trust CVs to handle this issue sensitively.

I doubt Suraj would lie to his mother...nor do I think Sandhya would agree to it. She's not that selfish about pursuing her dream that she would risk putting a divide between mother and son...or even between Bhabo and herself.
I think we don't give Bhabo enough credit...she knows what kind of a beendhni she wanted...and what kind of a beendhni she got...it may be an uphill battle but she'll come around...you'll see...😛
