I remember reading a story once about a man who had done awful crimes

and was sentenced to death by hanging.

As his last wish he asked to meet his mother

When his mother was brought to him, he slapped her hard

Everyone was shocked and disgusted,

His explanation was that, if she had given me this slap

the first time that I did something wrong, I wouldn't have come this far

It is because of her over indulgence that I did not learn right from wrong


Khair, this was a story and meant to be taken as that ,

But it carries a valuable lesson for Desais

Even today, they are viewing this so indulgently

As if amrood Maang Lena aur boyfriend Maang Lena are the same

As if the pouting and sulking of a baby kusum and suicide attempts of a grown woman kusum

are one and the same

Just give in to her, bachchi chup ho jayegi


Had they put their foot down then

And taught their daughter

Not to use emotional blackmail to get her way

Taught her how to deal with rejection and disappointment

Taught her rights and boundaries and

Yeh halaat na hote


As parents, sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind

In this respect I am sorry, Guniyal is no better than saubhagya Devi

Well said. I love your last line. Guniyal and SD are the same in this aspect.

ya, both have indulged their kids and overlooked the fact that their childhood problems have now become serious disorders that need professional help

Arshi the way I have seen always in SC is when desais discuss kusum they always say what will happen to kumud if she does not have or get settled down with saras. It is consistent with Gun, VC, kumud, dadaji all they say what saras is to kumud.

No one and I would emphasize not a single soul has ever talked about what kumud is to saras, what saras wants or thinks about all this nonsense. They all think and believe without a doubt that saras is merely a toy (or amrood/fake chand) they all can decide when and how to dispose with whom. Why can't they say in straight words to kusum that saras only wants to be with kumud, end of the story.


Just because saras respects desais and love kumud that does not give them the right to decide about his life.

True, Mena, they as a family are pretty self centered and self absorbed. At one point in time, inspite of knowing the way pramaad was, they showed more deference to him, than to Saras and Danny.

Everything is dispensable to them, they happily take Saras and Danny's help and money to run their factory, yet don't seem to have much care about their feelings

The fact that Saras is not the kamarband to be exchanged between sisters doesn't seem to have occurred to the whole family.

That's why they are to be blamed for kusum's behavior

Actually they lost their integrity since the production house changed. Except for Kumari and chandrika kaki everyone for flopped. Especially Mr and Mrs VC.
Their behaviour is hard to understand. VC is rendered totally spineless. He never talked to kusum. And the way he justified her behaviour by giving that chand analogy was the pits.

Omg thank you Arshi for creating this post!! This was much needed and it's very true. Sometimes we have to be harsh on our kids for their own good.

All Desais have done is accept the way kusum is n given to her demands...she is a spoilt brat! N today everyone around r suffering but worse is they still don't do much abt it.

Gun puts her foot down where she can but the much required slap needed to come from VC.

A much required telling needs to come from Kumud.

Kumud has to put up with everything cos she is the achi wali beti...I remember countless times when I was younger I would moan to my mum abt my bro/sis n she wud be like doesn't matter, tu meri daayi dikri che!!(ur my good achi samaj daar daughter)

with kumud...her family overlook her happiness cos she is the good one who is supposed to understand while the younger one's excuse is always ke who tujhse choti hai.

arshi the problem is no more what u r saying dear though it started that way for sure

now kusum its not just saras that is triggering her suicidal attempts its more coz she is being forced to do something she does not want to .

she wants to free herself from danny coz taking danny will mean end to her saras dream which she wants to continue with .she does not want to move on and wants to be left with kamarband and more pankh so that she may try her luck again on saras .

but the family and saras just want kusum to move on coz saras knows till kusum sword hangs on his head ...kumud will never be his...she will always put kusum first and then herself...so saras wants kusum settle by hook or crook so that he finally gets kumud his dream...whereas desais have same reasons...they all know kumud has faced a lot but will never move on till kusum is settled .So all want Kusum to move on and are actually forcing her to go with danny.

So if we see from kusum point of view .She is feeling suffocated that her Yidd is not being given waitage fine but when she just wants to be left alone all r hovering over her .

As i said in the post i made before , the only way kusum can be handled is by leaving her alone for a time being.Sarasmakes it clear he is not intrested in her and carries on with kumud . danny starts his life .And all just ignore her zidd for saras and treat her normal in other cases

Life goes on and slowly Kusum too will feel what fool she is sitting with mor pankh and hanging kamarband in her kamar, while all that kamarband does is repel saras away.Coz now even saras knows that when kamarband rings its not kumud but a ghost called kusum.

And Kusum too will try to find sympathy from danny and then things may start being normal again.

So all in all its desais forcing that grihpravesh and forcing her to live with danny that is the real cause of Kusum repulsion at this point .


ps. kusum loves saras so is unable to blame him for anything coz she wants him at any cost and so is deliberating ignoring how saras is repelling her how he is uneasy around her how much he is trying to get her set with somebody else so that his on way to Kumud is clear ...and result is she is venting it all on Kumud the easy target , the object that has all saras attention , while she is in corner overshadoweded by her goodness and sacrifices.

there is a biblical proverb ''as a dog returns to its vomit ,so a fool to his folly;; the desais hav been foolish in more ways than one...or they are a pack of simpletons totally devoid of common sense...🤔

you know what i have notice in A LOT OF SHOWS the guy or girl WITH evil parents or a broken family end up GOOD. look at denny and saras...especially saras...coming from such pain since childhood. but both boys are such understaing and caring. ksumu and kumud has gotten so much love from BOTH parents..they have the perfect family...so what happened?? their parents have supported them in every decision..even if its stupid..when ever i look at kusum...i dont understand what went wrong?? I would kill to have a sister like kumud and a husband like denny. you really dont know what you have until you loose it..
