Manju Aunty, the Kashyap's neighbour. She's a larger than life character who loves to be in the centre of every situation. Her mission in life is to get her beautiful Bubbly a beautiful husband. 😆Of course her eyes are set for Suhana's devar!! However, our Suhana's has vowed not to allow that happen!
Suhana and MA share a very strange relationship. At their 1st acquintance, MA was taken aback by how strongly Suhana fought for the Kashyaps because no one had the audacity to stand up to her before that! At every given opportunity she has to come to the Kashyap's residence with either
- a complaint
- a concern for a neighbour
- some food for Deepak, etc etc.
It appears as though these reasons are just pretence. They hide the true reason and that is MA has developed a fondness for for Suhana's feisty nature. Perhaps she sees a mere reflection of a "younger MA". Perhaps she too behaved like Suhana in her early days of sasuralhoood.
She likes that Suhana doesn't pretend to be nice her in front of her. She likes that Suhana is straight forward with her tells her how it is, without flinching. She will not stand anyone saying anything against the Kashyaps (righfully so!). I am sure MA is fully aware of what the neighbourhood thinks of her but she knows they all behave well in front of her to aviod quarrels. Not Suhana! She doesn't hide. MA knows that whatever she says, Suhana will be able to answer it, even better than her, that too in English!!😆
Whatever it is, it really dipicts how a complete stranger can take a special place in your heart without you even knowing that it has happened. The reaction she gave in realising Suhana's ill health was evident of the love and care she has for her, deep in her heart. She was in denial thinking "how can this happen?". How can this girl who I argue with have a brain tumour? Her shock and sadness was conveyed through her moist eyes and broken voice. For the 1st time she said something nice about Suhana! She said Suhana has a "beautiful smile". Then she rushed out of the room to go the temple to pray for this stranger who has somehow become her own. This is the beauty of a mutual relationship. This classic SGP moment I cherish so deeply, it minds me why I love it. Thankyou SGP for that moment. 😃
That was last week but today MA's reaction to the good news was admirable. How sweet of her to dance around with joy knowing that Suhana doesn't have cancer.😃 Loved how she said "give the halwa to Suhana, she likes it doesn't see?" MA is such a sweetheart.🤗 Yes it was mean what they've done but she wasn't thinking about that as she too has big heart and she's elated that she can still fight with Suhana.😆
