See Nafisa, I agree that when you live under your parents' roof, you must adhere to their rules and regulation! Barkha only wanted to throw Laajo out, the day when Nikhil said, he too would leave the house, she interpreted that as emotional blackmail!

Barkha has an issue, but her husband does not, and from what I have seen, he is the breadwinner of the household, and hence his words ought to bear a stronger hold! And evidently, he does not mind feeding his son and daughter in law. 😆


Though he may be the breadwinner as he goes to work everyday, but Jules remember Barkha was talking of a business venture with Sid's family for herself, so possibly she also contributes to the upkeep of the family, and most definitely it's not Inder that controls what happens in the house, rather Barkha is the one that controls their house. I'm not saying that Inder is as heartless as Barkha, Nani and Ayesha but we have seen him several times when the subject has come up of ousting Laajo from the house say nothing, therefore we can't assume anything other then his support of Barkha at this stage. As the TM said if Barkha is uncomfortable having Laajo their one other solution is open to her that is to oust both Laajo and Nikhil from the house, so I agreed because if it happened in my family where one of us got married without our parents attending the wedding and come with the husband in toe to come stay in the house if my parents didn't approve the match they would definitely throw us out. 😆

I just started watching this show but from what I watch so far I wouldn't place the blame on either Lajjo, Nikhil, or Ishana. Rather no one can really be blamed for the situation at present. Nikhil did a huge, HUGE favor for rescuing and marrying Lajjo at the cost of his relationship with Ishana. He helped out Lajjo without thinking of where to go or what to do. All he thought about was in trying to help and he did. All the events that happened thereafter, some were in his control some were not. He could have better approached the situation as to where he could put/keep Lajjo until he could talk to his parents about his decision of marrying her (but being honest nothing would have made the situation any different) and the situation she was in. Or after realizing how his family is reacting, he could have probably help Lajjo in her education or something. Lajjo is just as an innocent party within the whole situation.

However, Ishana's decision in cutting herself to kill herself is in NO way Nikhil's fault. She was the one he consciously decided that she didn't want to live due to her losing Nikhil. In no way do a person have a right to blame another for themselves commiting suicide. It is just plain selfish to place the blame on someone else when the problem begins with yourself. Plus Ishana kept on pushing Nikhil away trying to move on but she flipped when she heard Lajjo and Nikhil laughing and talking on the phone and he didn't come to meet her for their anniversary thing. She made the move and she is the reason as to why her mother is hurting and is now reluctant to leaver her alone. Her mother is hurting because Ishana carelessly threw her life away for a man without thinking about the others, about her mother that she would be leaving behind.

Barkha is another can of worms that I just don't want to deal with. For the longest of continuously holding homage to your deceased son is one thing but to continuously hold blame over your other son (who might be or might not be responsible for his death) for his death and to use your love and affection (something that Nikhil desperately wants) as a bargaining piece is just downright psychotic. However, I can understand where you might react one day when your son just brings in a random stranger and claims that this is your wife and here. Any average mother would go complete bonkers and wouldn't accept it. However, after a reasonable time frame they would try to understand the situation that their child decided to make a decision and try to go on from there. But Barkha is not doing that, she is not interested in doing that. In foremost she wants Lajjo out and only interacts with Nikhil to either emotionally blackmail him in throwing Lajjo out.

First off let me say interesting and somewhat heated topic😉😃😆 with opposing views and I truly enjoyed reading everyone's opinions/views on the situation. I'm sure you all know what my views are😆 but I'll re-iterate it briefly here:

1) Neither Nikhil, Laajo or Ishana are too blame are truly to blame for their current situation. Yes, Nikhil could have thought only of Ishana, but at the time he already considered Laajo a friend. Between that and because of his Grandfather's hope that he would do the right thing, and recalling the circumstances of his brother's death (this is the incident where 2 young boys almost got run over by his jeep as he was making a hasty retreat from the village 😆) he choose to marry Laajo (of course linking that to his grandfather's words about taking/holding Laajo's hand and his brother yelling don't let go of my hand helped too😉). He made the decision to not let Laajo and her family live a life of hardship and taunts from the villagers. He also worried (as he told his family) that she might have committed suicide (as the reason he married her). He truly just reacted to the situation at the current time, not thinking of the future. I'm sure had he known the problems that would arise (ie. Ishana's attempted suicide) he would not have taken that step...Of course had he not done so he might have regretted that decision as well (same reason he was unable to leave Laajo and her family to their fate the 2nd time around either - it may have bothered him his whole life that he left Laajo to her own fate). Truly a catch 22 for Nikhil. Ishana and Laajo really had no fault at all in the situation. Laajo had no clue that Nikhil loved someone else, plus she was thinking about what her parents said about the possiblity that no one would marry her younger sisters because of her and so on , so I do understand why she went throught with it. As for Ishana she of course had no clue Nikhil was going to marry Laajo. She found out only after it was a "fate accompli. BUT that does not make Nikhil responsible for her attempted suicide. This was her reaction to the situation. Yes, Nikhil created the situation, but it was up to her how she was going to deal with the situation. She choose to end her life. Nikhil didn't tell her to end her life, or make her commit suicide. Where Nikhil to be blamed for her suicide attempt than that to me would be akin to murder and he's no murderer. Nor is he omnipotent to have known she would do so.

2) As for Barka???? Boy does she need help with a capital "H". That women has not gone thru a proper grieving process and until she does so she will never be able to have a "normal" life...I think one of the biggest pain a parent would have to endure is to outlive their child but life does go on and they need to be able to grieve and move on. I am not saying they should "forget" but they do need to be able to move on especially if there are other children involved that are depending on you. Instead of being there for her young son, she turned around and blamed him. Not only did Nikhil suffer the lose of a brother but at the same time he also suffered the lose of his mother and been tried, judged and found guilty for an accident during his childhood. This was a triple blow for him...😭

3) As for the house belonging to Barka and Inder...Well...First off I will say, it's not 100% positive that it belongs only to them. There is always the possiblity that Gunja's dad could be co-owner too😆... But lets put that aside for the moment...I agree that it is technically "their" house and if they don't want to have Laajo live with them, that's their prerogative. But what they should have done was to say to both of them that they are not welcome to live in the house. Had they done that, perhaps Nikhil would have left. Instead they made an impossible situation for him. This is the same guy that choose to help Laajo, even though it meant possibly loosing Ishana forever...So what made them think he would just kick her out after bringing her all the way from Sonvarsa with him?

And Nafisa, as per the bold above....I believe it was Barka's brother that brought the rishta for Ayesha as he is the one that had a business deal with Sid and his dad not Barka herself...
I believe Barka really only does charity function type events and doesn't actually do any "business" per say. She could have a share in her brother's business (if he inherited it from his father) but other than that I don't think she is a "bread" winner at all (could be wrong though, but that's what I thought😆).
