why she gets to get rid of saris!FIRE UPDAT - Page 2

That's quite dangerous. I'm glad she will get rid of the sarees. Wonder if both bhabhis will follow suit?

I also have first hand and painful experience of fire accident in my family. Actually I get very shaky and sad when I recount it, it left a very lasting impact on me for life and today's SBS reopened those sad memories for me.
When I was 8, my dads cousin, who we were very close to, died in a freak kitchen fire.
She was in a nylon saree, getting ready to leave for work.
She had shut all doors & windows of the house as she was leaving, when she felt like having tea.
Her saree pallu caught fire, since all doors & windows were shut, neighbors could not come in on time to save her. They saw her being consumed by the flames. I cannot ever forget entering their home that evening with my mom. My dad was not in town, it was past 11 at night, so my mom had to take me along to their house for condolence.
Today's SBS brought back all those horrifying memories back to me.
I am glad they are showing this in CC to make people aware.
It is ok to wear sarees around the home, but not while cooking. Hope this episode sends a positive message to traditional families who insist on traditions while putting lives at risk.

It would be even better if Manav insisted that she should wear whatever makes her comfortable. Don't understand why everyone but herself are making choices for her!
