After watching the episode today, I must admit, the Vajpayees are a nauseating family, barring Abeer of course! The old dadi, is of course an undisputed hag and a witch, but even Sudha and TN appal me with their silence. Sudha, I can still understand – married into an orthodox family where clearly "the man" rules the roost as does the ma-in-law – is hesitant to speak her mind, but TN?
Shuklain keeps ranting at him about her upbringing, shouldn't he ask her about her maternal instincts? They paled in front of "biradri" considerations? That "dadi" became more important than her own son? Didn't the fear that she might lose her son ever bother her? Maybe this time, the nincompoop will open his mouth finally!
