Thanks for the update!!
I think Mona is also in the wrong - agreed she is trying to earn some money on the side to help Anukalp but she must do it in a smart way. Leaving Anchal to do the work and running off is not the solution - i can't understand Mona here - she was so jealous of Anchal initially but now happily leaves her to do the work and runs off to do her sideline work.
Mona must understand that she is a bahu and she is expected to do work at home, especially since she has been given the entire responsiblity officially by her mother in law. Her sideline business must remain a sideline - it will be tough but she has to finish her household work and then go do her designer business (AFTER she has fulfilled her main responsibilities).
And don't tell me it is not possible. BECAUSE my mother had to do something similar as my dad was not earning enough : she took care of the whole household - 7 young children - cooked , washed clothes (no dhobi for us and no washing machine either), cleaned, went to the market, sent kids to school, and she suffered from frequent asthma attacks (probably brought on by all that stress!!) AND she tailored clothes (yes, this was done late at night under poor lighting (she did not want to spoil our sleep too much). It was tough but not impossible. She is a true life example of that!!
Mona's life is not half this tough. So i think she should be able to manage without having to depend on Anchal at all. She just has to learn to manage time. In fact, i think she should relegate her designer business to the afternoon and late nights - when everyone takes a siesta and usually there is time for the housewife for her own self. But she has to be honest to at least one person - either her mother in law or her husband. The trouble with indian tele dramas is that honesty is not a priority for ladies - they are secretive and hide things... sigh...
