Sonya- Very good point - I think the match of Kaumudi and Mukut is wrong. Maybe these things were done in Uma's time, but Mummyji, ab zamaana badal gaya hai yaar. She's uneducated, and he's the business man of the year. Obviously, he could have helped her and encouraged her to educate herself and experience new things. But then that would be possible only if the poor thing could actually step out of the kitchen. Chhanchhan actually put it really well- she was so busy being the ideal bahu she forgot to be a wife.


So we agree that Mukut is somewhat justified at least.. And now the moral question would be: What do you do in a situation like this? You're hooked up with a woman you never approved of. She becomes the ideal bahu but not the ideal wife... should you step out of the marriage?

On bold part...

Well we agree what CC said.. But there remains a point missing, had Mukut been a husband to Kaumadi?? or just a son to the BS family?? has he ever tried to know what kaumadi likes or dislikes?? May be she likes serving the family the way she is doing..

And if mukut could find out what Kaumdai likes and communicate to her what he likes, they could have found out a middle ground! And that should be the nature of relationship between a husband and a wife.


Yep lack of communication was definitely a big problem in their relationship. Mukut was always rude to her and Kamaudi too didn't try to find out why. But then I'd blame Mukut more for this cuz you can't just be all puffed up and expect the other person to read your mind. You need to get vocal about your feelings.

i feel mukut is just suddenly carried away!! peer pressure may be!! coz had he hated her he would have found a mayuri long back!! its only in this past 1 year that he is dating her! he was fine till before!!


and as you say if he wants to change he could have sat and made her understand!! even she can point out his mistakes in a minute!! come on yar there cant be a bigger mistake than an extra marital affair!! nothing can justify that!!!

what did this poor girl who keeps toiling for him and his family do around the clock!! whats the point of doing the duties of the bahu when the husband fails to call her his patni!! bahu comes after patni!! she can also lash out at his and his family for making her struggle round the clock with chores!! thats the reason why she has not spent time with him!!! its not like she went on a tour to her mom's place!! she has sacrificed way more than him!!!

i am sure once the blindfold is removed he will like kamudi as she is now!!


I agree with you! Mukut is just suddenly carried away as he met Mayuri and suddenly started feeling what is missing in kaumadi..

And there lies the problem. There is no limit for perfection. Tomorrow he might meet someone and realize that she is way better than Mayuri.. then???

So the issue is, he has to understand the existing people in his life. Kaumadi is part of his life. He has to understand her and open himself up to her.. so that they know each other well and live with their strengths and limitations..

And that is why, I completely agree that once the blindfold is removed, he would understand and love kaumadi the way she is. And exactly that what I want.
I would be very disappointed if the CVs show a completely changed Kaumadi who transformed herself upside down to get her husband's love.

I gotta agree with this. It's too late for Mukut to realize that Kaumudhi is not the right person for him. I mean if I was in a situation like that, I would think of how to improve the situation rather than how to dissolve my longterm relationship. It's just not fair that you have two grownup children and then you get this sudden wakeup call.

first you should marry the guy of your choice but when you dont get that chance and have arranged marriage, i think than both wife and husband need to make changes to adjust with one another
Kamudi should atleast bring some changes not only in her dresses but also in her behavior towards her husband similarly mukut needs to leave his offhanded behavior and be a little flexible

Sonya- sorry, I know I'm very late. Coming to Mukut.No, he's not justified.Not in his cheating , not in the way he berates her . Yes it's a mismatch. But that's not Kaumudi's fault- she didn't know he wasn't interested in getting married to her. and he's never taken her out, or showed her the world. In fact he kept her at home where she cant see anything different but still expects her to know about the world and its ways. So he can't blame her.
Golpokobita- Kaumudi needs to change her views about herself first. It doesn't matter if CC dresses her up in Manish Malhotra and somehow gives her finishing school manners. If she goes around thinking she's lacking something, nothing will change. So she doesn't just need a physical makeover , she needs a self-esteem makeover. Yes, Mukut did suddenly find Mayuri. But that resentment must'v been festering for him to take such a step. And I want Kaumudi to become more confident and assertive for herself, not to win him over. If I was in her position, I'd have left him. Esp after he goes around insulting her infront of her family. More importantly, because she has daughters, she needs to show them that it's not done to take shit from a husband who doesn't value you and your dignity.

I think that Mugut's bad behavior is being used here to show that outwardly appearances don't make a person. It's the genteelness that is important.
What's the point of being the greatest businessman if you don't even have the decency to talk with dignity to others? (Let alone your wife.) And that is why, Kaumudi's changing a saree is not going to make much difference. Yes, it will make her look pleasant and Mugut will like it (precap) but it will take more than a saree change to turn Mugut's deep seated resentment against his wife. Kaumudi has spent years being told that her lot in life is to be a good wife - and that means taking care of her family. Being a good DIL, exclusively. Her mentality has been such that she has not been allowed personal freedom. Her being comes from being to others. This is a difficult mindset to change. This is what she needs to do. The guilt that is associated with freedom for the self and doing things that you are happy with - that is the right of every person, Kaumudi does not know that. When she does, then everything will fall into place.
Both are correct in their thinking in the circumstances they find themselves. However, instead of facing the challenges, they have let satus quo - I'll be the long suffering husband and my wife is ignoring me so I am allowed this adulterous freedom/I am a good wife and I will look after my family and be the best DIL because that is what a good wife means - determine their lives. And this is the outcome. Things had to come to ahead, after all, how long can it go on like this. Both are oblivious to each other's feelings.
Now they will have to re-learn to be together with each other. Whilst Indian mentality would never allow for the woman to seek pleasure outside the home, it deems it OK for the man. This is a double standard, and I think the show is trying to expose this.
(Think about what would happen and how lenient this family would be if Kaumudi was having an affair.)

communication is the key in any relationship. that seems to be lacking in this relation

all we hear is excuses from husband how uneducated his wife is and does not any interest or knowledge in any other categories other than cooking / kitchen and taking care of the family members and how unhappy he is with his marriage life. but do we ever hear expressing what he is expecting of his wife. all he did was walked out of any given situation and expected his uneducated wife to understand his feelings and needs.

as far as wife goes, nothing was shown regarding her upbringing. if i have to guess , she probably grew up with traditional values like there is no I / me/ myself or my needs. family comes first and never talk back or express your feelings / opinion even when husband insults you in front of family and kids rather take those insults for granted.

as far as ASR goes i think he was man of his words. example Mrs India contest. Khushi was the only one in indian cloths during workouts and he canceled swim suit competition because she refused to wear swim suit

also, when Khushi took ASR on a date, she wore indian, he did not say anything

just my 2 cents

I agree with you completely and i would have done the same, if my husband were like mukut. And there is no substitute of kaumadi being a very confident and assertive woman. And that is what i want from .. Not to change herself just because mukut wants or society thinks that a wife should do as her husband wishes.. She should establish to mukut and all that, she is what she is.

Only thing CC can not do for her is to make her realize that .. she is a woman with substances, she has done no less than mukut for the family and she deserves equal, if not more, attention from the family for her contribution ..

And as you said, she needs to show it to her daughters so that they do not learn to believe that husbands are like mukut..
