Hey, i totally agree. Preeti is way too docile. She is literate (BA) and more than that, has that wordly experience in her hands, and yet she gets verbally thrashed by her own son. Any normal indian mother won't put up with such bs except if it is a case of extremely remote places where awareness is low and patriarchy is at its peak. Even in that case, Rati is the bahu, is she not?! I wonder why Preeti won't even act up against her either. Even in office the way rati manhandled preeti was outright rude. I cant help the cringe everytime these scenes show up. The behaviour her son and dil have, by normal standards she is bound to harbour some amt. of anger against them but we see none of it. Either she is good at hiding, or she is just that naive- its infuriating actually.
Talking about KT, the credit for his behaviour lies with his overpampering family somewhere. They treat him like a china vase that will break even if you see it harshly! KT actually is pretty mature in the way he grasps situation, handles it and help others but his family, mother specially is way too much doting. It is pretty funny how she was scolding Preeti for calling up KT, as if a little kid has complained to his mother about being bullied. Except that KT hadn't complained. Also Neelima has her head floating in the clouds of high status. By normal senses, a business that has just started requires attention if you want it to grow, that's how you make more money out of money! By that logic, a boss should show up on time because he is the one setting the standards, but KT's mother doesn't care about that either. Somehow i think the reason for this behaviour might lie with his failed marriage or it is simply their way.
You didn't say about rati and tarun but ill talk about them too. They are grade D trash, if anything. Tarun seems to have anger management issues, and rati seriously has ego issues. They pick unnecessary fight, fall face front and then have the gall to blame the road when it was them who weren't looking. Rati's mother*sigh* showed her colors in the start too. And now, even the three of them didnt have the gall to face preeti that they gathered mohalla aunties ( such an uncalled for scene matlab unka tumhare ghar ki problems se kya lena dena!!). Rati and tarun are the classic example of padhe likhe gawar. Preeti can come out of whichever car she wants and that by no mean will entail that she is trying to show then downn! But they have such fatass misguided egos that they are trying to compete with their mother/in-law. Like wtf!!
