Yes, we all know that she is focused on finding "financially secure" partners for marriage, so that it can spare them of problems that come from not having wealth. I may not like the connotation, but I understand it. No problems.
Where I had a problem was when Mr. Kohli and Kul were having a tit-for-tat regarding Sujata. Kul could not and would not understand how her words were hurtful to Sujata, who was right there! Kul, with her words, made Sujata feel like a burden, that if she did not act, then she will be alone for the rest of her life. How she was first-born, yet unmarried. How it was HER fate that was causing the issue. Girls, anyone's girls, don't need to hear that. Because it stays with girls, in the back of our mind, especially when our parents say it.
I was exasperated by Kul's viciousness. Perhaps she thought she was doing Sujata a favor, guiding her. Fine. She does love her daughters in her own "unique" way.
But she is so aggressive and ambitious, all the time. But I have to wonder: when is she ever going to learn that her daughters are not "things" that need placement in high net-worth families; you know, like placing an orphaned cat in a new, cat-friendly home. When you have daughters, your primary burden, oops, I meant responsibility is to find them a well-off, happy home. That is the sole thing that happens when you have daughters--that is the message she continually reinforces with her decisions. What about your daughter succeeding at doing something great? What if she was an accomplished student? What if she felt hopeless and needed your unconditional support and understanding? What if she did not care for money? Heaven perish that crazy thought! How about just being their mother, and not a private placement manager.
Maybe I'm overreacting to today's scenes, but I really felt like this time, Kul was just brutal and did not understand how her hurtful words impacted Sujata. She further criticizes Mr. Kohli in front of his daughters.
As I always say, I am looking forward to the day when Kul is forced to suffer. It will be so refreshing.
