Everyone in C-family has glorious things to say about Toasty to nani ma and to top it all, Chedi has twice compared her with Vimla. My feeling is that it is not going too well with nani ma. Just because of this reason, she may be more inclined to find faults and criticize Toasty. I know that eventually she will see the truth and accept Toasty but to begin with it is going to be a struggle for Toasty to cope with nani ma's unreasonable attitude. My heart goes out to her.

Nani ma made me teary-eyed when she hugged Gyan and cried. Thankfully, she doesn't have any grudge against Gyan as Vimla died during his birth.

I, personally, am not happy with nani ma staying with Malti and separating husband and wife during this beautiful time of their life. Entire day Pashu is at shop, only intimate/personal time between him and Malti to talk about feelings and personal stuff is night time after dinner and that's been taken away from them.

C- house definitely needs one-three extra bedrooms and at least one more bathroom. I can't even imagine 11 people using same bathroom. It's not even village that you can run to fields in an emergency situation.

Back to the beautiful part of today's episode: when Tej introduced Toasty to nani ma..loved the look of pride and love on his face. It was so beautiful, only to be spoiled a minute later by nani ma's crudeness. BTW, this is probably the first time I saw Toasty wearing black saree and it too had plenty of magenta color to signify 'suhaag'. I wonder how nani ma would have reacted to all the bahus wearing white saree for holi 😕

I did think why on earth are they comparing Toasty to Vimla and I was think don't do it Chedi and Dadaji!!! No mother wants to hear that her daughter has been so easily replaced even if it is their bahu. Plus I think they placed too many expectations on her to Nani with the comparison, Toasty has her own personality and can't replace Vimla who seems to be presented as a saint who can do no wrong.

I actually know some women who have issues with black sarees and think they shouldn't be worn to weddings, functions etc. not because they suhagans but in general as is shouldn't be worn at a happy event and presents negative energy or some rubbish like that. I thought Toasty's saree was fine as it wasn't completely black.

One thing I found odd was why cant you wear footwear in the kitchen?😕 Also dont see why its Toasty's fault that Prachin came with them on, shes not brought him up and Prachin is not such a kid that its quite obviously they weren't brought up that way since it was male household previously.

Chedi obviously doesn't want to spend money for that so called extra room he was going to build long ago 😆

angelic: Just like black saree being bad sign...lot of families in India do not wear shoes to kitchen and in some cases not even inside the house...I know it sounds lame :(

It would have been better if Chedi, Tej and other family members didn't speak so high of Toasty, now nani ma has such high expectations from her and not only that, now she is a bit hurt that C-family considers someone else's daughter (Toasty) to be better or as good as her daughter (Vimla).

LOL!! You're right...we do think alike!! 😆 Our minds must work the same way/notice the same things 😊


Toasty's worn black sarees before but with color combined in it...like black with red border and red blouse...black and purple combination. It's not like she was wearing a completely black without any different colored work saree. My family has the tradition of not wearing black to the mandir or on auspicious days but there isn't anything in my family traditions about a married woman being unable to wear a black colored saree...my mom, nani, and badi nani wear black sarees all the time and my mom and nani are still suhaagans. And Toasty's saree today wasn't even black...it was more of a dark purple, if that makes any difference to Nani ma 😆

Totally agree that Chedi and Dadaji should not have said that Toasty took Vimla's place...that is definitley the last think that a mother will want to hear...that her late daughter's place is being taken over by her bahu completely. They should have said that Toasty was Vimla's parchaayi if they really wanted to do any comparison...though it would have been better if they didn't do any comparison as then Nani ma wouldn't have so many expectations of Toasty :/

Oh dear.

You already know your mother-in-law has a very deep anger towards you over what happened to her daughter. She blamed you for not listening to her and pretty much blaming you for her daughter dying when she shouldn't have and it could have been prevented and then everything that followed.

And now you do not once..but twice, say that your daughter-in-law has replaced her so easily.

Eeesshh. Chedi...this is possibly the worst situation he could put Toasty in. Yes, he meant well and wanted nani to know that Toasty is a wonderful daughter in law that has taken care of the family...but not like this... Toasty is completely oblivious to everything that had happened and the anger and resentment that is brewing from all the praises she is receiving. Poor thing.

@devvivek - Malti has complications that is why she cannot do any work, she is supposed to be resting..

and yea this saree color issue sounds funny but it is kind of true. my family was like that too but they have opened up a bit but even then for my reception, i liked a very dark purple saree and they didnt let me get it cuz it looked like black. i was annoyed cuz you could clearly see that it was dark purple.. loll...

and shoes, my husband still yells when i run around the house with shoes on ... when we are about to leave the house and remember something, feel lazy to take off the boots so i just run with the shoes on :) but when he stops me, i just make him go...loll

I understand that in some families especially Indian brahmin families, shoes are not allowed in the kitchen or even inside the house. My dad is a health and cleanliness freak so while growing up we were not allowed to step on floor without wearing slippers at any time and am used to that lifestyle now.

In my family, black or white sarees are not given to a girl at the time of wedding and she is advised not to wear it for a year at least after marriage.

So, both customs/traditions exist in India in mild to stricter form and obviously nani ma is very conservative so she will stick to them, no matter how modern and educated his bahus and grandsons are...I have always seen C-parivar barefoot in their house and I have mostly seen Toasty wearing bright and colorful sarees, so these 2 are rare instances where nani ma is getting to pick on them. She should realize that this is not their usual lifestyle.


About Malti, without giving us the details of tests performed (ultrasound?) and exact cause of her complication so early in pregnancy, they have declared it a high-risk pregnancy and so Malti will have to be very careful and mostly on bed-rest. If it was normal pregnancy, she could have helped up to certain extent with household chores. Always sitting on the bed and not exercising is also not good for pregnancy.
