There is nothing about feminism or a daughter's rights here. It's about gratitude. Neha knows her mother better than Dev claims to know his mother. From the very beginning neha has shown a better understanding of Ishwari's insecurities. Neha's conversation with Ishwari on Monday night was what I am shocked by. Neha has every right so be sad. But she owes it to her bhai and bhabhi to let them be happy.
She was rude to Sona which sona over looked. But where is the kindness in neha? How will feeling sad when someone else is happy change anything?

Its all about - emotions...
We have no control of others emotions but we have on ours...I really liked the way Sona yesterday controlled her emotions and supported Dev. Its not about romance /husband- wife relationship...its about pure friendship...giving in for one another and standing with him during this tough phase. Because of her calm approach he cooled down too...that was the best scene betwn the two...

This is exactly like how female celebs supported kangana in the name of feminism. Im not going to support ishwari just because she is a woman. She is a manipulative cunning woman.

Yes its about emotions. They sometimes go out of control. Most sensible, mature adults however mull over their behaviour and go and apologise to the one they hurt. Neha was rude to sona when Sona came to her room to talk the day after came back from her house. But never apologised for her behaviour. She was the one who showed Dev what being love is like. Now that he is happy, Neha has been sulking. Wouldnt a considerate sister fake her happiness for once and say, "Bhai who wala perfume lana mere leeye"? . Wouldnt a considerate sister in law go and help her bhabhi serve garam garam puris when she sees her bhabhi has just gone to see off her brother to work?

Neha's past is as sad if not more than Dev. However, carrying that Chip on her shoulder will not help. Nothing that happened in her past has anything to with her brother's married life. Break=ing down in front of the family is very natural. But not going and saying sorry is downright rude and ungrateful

@ We Rock The World

Why did Sona tell her parents about Neha's issue?

Neha discussed her inlaws financial situation with her brother and mom. And the related problems that happens there with them. So why cant Sona do the same? She did exactly the same when her parents came . Infact I felt Sona was saving image of Dev and her in laws in front of her parents by telling the truth. Or they would end up thinking that Dev and his family has no value for their daughter's dreams/likes /disliked and hence decided to cancel the HM .

I would say her timing was wrong - she could have told them later via phone . Well she is a newly married. She will learn from her mistakes.

I don't see a difference betwn Dev and Ranveer. Both put their family ahead of their wife's needs. If we are asking Sona to understand and support Dev and co..then we need to do the same with Neha as well.

If Neha lacks materialistic aspects at her in laws place .Sona lacks acceptance from her in laws and emotional support. Reality is that we all need a mixture of all these aspects to survive. How much we need depends on our character.

Daughters staying at their maternal house. Yes we have all rights to do .That is where we belong . That is our origin and we should be proud of that.

The difference betwn Neha and Sona as daughter in laws are ..Neha ran away when things got tough at her in laws place. Sona didn't atleast not till now. She wasn't happy abt the HM . She just decided to stand by her husband s decision and support him.

My heart says that Sona will not be able to hold on long ..there is bound to be a separation.

As I always say , these two couples havnt been married for long . Initial days of marriage there will be ups and downs...it takes time to change the sentence from " U and I in this beautiful world " to "US in this beautiful world". Give them time and am sure they all will be fine...

Regarding the statement "Let opportunities, rights and power be equally distributed or attributed to Iswari,Neha and Sona. There lies propriety. There lies justice." In an ideal world its possible. But this world is no close to being perfect. It was never meant to be perfect . It was never designed that way. Power struggle will be there always. When one perishes the other rises. Its survival of the fittest ...because that is what keeps the circle of life intact.


Enjoyed every word. Great review. Iswari had no other option. She utilised whatever she had at her disposal. There was no other option for her. She has to work. Dev has to study and Neha has to look after the girls. I don't feel it is any kind of investment she planned like many opined as of now.

If you read my post I did not blame Sona for telling her parents. I said the timing and place was wrong. I said she can tell in her bed room or later. I also said we have every right to share our matters with our parents.

I said like Sona is not blamed for telling in such a way Neha should not be blamed if she reacted in such a way.I also objected some one saying standing in Sona's house. It equally belongs to Neha.

Despite the flaws all the charecters should get equal treatment if feminism calls up shots.

Thanks for being here with your excellent input.

Ok Chalo sab thik hai - But who should Sona share her pain with? Is she a human being or a robot?????? ok, so saying it in place where someone can hear is wrong - I would call it stupid!!!!!! But as a human being, she would share some things with her parents or not!!!!!!!

In Dixit house - she can't talk to anyone about what SHE is going through. Can she tell it Dev??? Not really. It is his family after all and as things stand today, he tells her that you are an outsider and can't really understand.

So it would be very unfair to judge Sona very harshly. And even more unfair to degrade the concept of feminism. It is radical form of any ideology that is problematic. So Feminism that puts across right questions regarding gender equality should not be ridiculed just because a user attaches the word feminism to it.

Call what you may, but a very large part of feminist movement is actually asking for Equality, and the fact that the world is more equal for the men than women actually calls for more demand for rights of women - any wonder why an ideology like feminism should gain coin then!!!!!

About Feminism I said they are obligated to analyse understand and support all women despite their flaws.
About Sona sharing Neha's issue

This was what I said in this context.I never felt she should not share it with her parents.

[Thank you very much. Yes she was not gossiping. But just she forgot that she should not reveal Neha's issue there . We share many things with our parents about our in laws. It is natural. But the way it was done surely not right.
If Sona's deed is forgiven Neha also should be spared when she confronts Sona this night. If Sona did not maintain the privacy while revealing to her parents we should not expect Neha to confront Sona privately.

One thought - where is this man's world?? any idea?? I have heard ppl using this very frequently...just think about it...the life of a human starts in a womb of a woman...she pushes this life on to earth ( again we call earth - mother earth - feminine form )...the entire life cycle of this human is on mother earth and when he perishes , he again goes to the womb of mother earth. From origin to end of a human life is all in association with the feminine form...

And we call this so called world as man's world ...I guess this is Irony of life...🤣

PS : After reading the above majority are going to call me hard core feminist !!🤣


That's the thing isn't it? It's called mother earth but is it really? Are women given the same rights as men on this earth? No. So what's in a name when actions say otherwise?

Feminists aren't obligated to support someone who is anti feminist and misogynistic like Ishwari. She never saw her son and daughters in the same way. If anything feminists would be criticising her for her attitude.
