i think Gayatri is not as much at fault as Naitaik...she is behaving quite reasonable i think..any mother would do that......i'am sure some of our MIL behave the same way..not that i appreciate that attitude but that's their behaviour...and it is very hard to let go so easily...she has been doing this since many years for naitik...it will take time..
Naitik is the one who has married Akshara..and inspite of the pandit explaining the mantra and vachan he has forgotten them on the day itself......
And lets wait for tomorrow maybe Gayatri just helps akshara and tells naitik that akshara put the plate not her...Give the lady a chance....
