If we broaden up Subha's point of view on Daya's mother then may be she doesn't hate him but is after all encouraging Sundar to con Jetha. Its more like 'Chalta hai to chalne do'
As per the story, Daya's father is a Sanyasi. Nevetheless, due to this, he had put his own family in acute poverty. Now that her daughter is marriedto a well settled man, she doesn't mind getting some benefits from him. Otherwise I cannot fathom how a award winning person who is said to be a social worker, who has enough knowledge about the world outside is so oblivion to her son's source of living ?
In a particular Rakshabandhan track, Sundar said how his childhood was full of miseries because he didn't have enough money. Jetha taunted if he is living a King's life now. Sundar had a double meaning dialogue here which meant "I am living a king's life all because you Jijaji."
In another track, Sundar brought tons of gifts for all the Gadas. A suitcase full of gifts for Tappu, Daya and Bapuji but the man of the house was given a pen.
In another track, his mother went for tirth yatra after inviting her daughter and her son- in- law at her house.
And it has happened a thousand times before. I have never heard a mannat is advised for another person. Mannat, as per our tradition ,is a very personal thing. Wives or Mother-in-laws aren't suppose to keep a mannat on behalf of their husband or son- in-laws respectively.
I don't think Jeevdayaben hates Jetha or his family but Daya is definitely being used by Sundar and she is only encouraging it to another level. She knows Daya has enough. It doesn't hurt if she gives some of it to her younger brother. If we think about it then its not that he takes the money from jetha and gives it back to Tappu or Daya some other way. He is a repeated offender when he says, ' Mian aapko baad me lauta dunga'. Interestingly, Daya never knows if the money was ever returned. Also, she hardly cares about it and every time he asks for money she pleads on behalf of her brother.
