Highly unlikely, she isn't an ideal candidate; even if she has hormonal issues she has a complete support system. PND mostly happens when there is a lack of support system; you have no help with the baby, sleepless nights, weak body & no social life. It's a good track to explore they may try it w/Akshara coz she is the one who is always crying in the show. Varsh's life has been rosy.😊


In Varsha's case, I think she is unable to bond with the child; it takes time for some to get used to the new responsibility. It will take time for it to sink in, tabi bolthe hai na ki maa ka hona bahut zaroori hai after child birth coz maa is the only one who will understand the daughter in such a situation & is willing to put up with her moods.


Rajsri has been really good w/Varsha's pregnancy mood swings; like yest she didn't mind Varsha's attitude coz I think she understands. Rajsri has been a good saas almost unreal; all saas should take a tip or 2 from her. almost forgot, bahu's can take tips from Akshara too but in moderate doses pls....


khi khi khi 😆 very right Sarita...Rajshri is on the borderline of being a good and unreal saas 🤣 but Sari, Akshara ko PND kabhi nahi hoga kyunki woh toh steel ki bani hai 😆 like taffy said, the great khalli akshara ! 🤣 uske favorites bma, MA, nandu, rashmi, everyone will be sticking to her like M SEAL when she'll have a baby ! when u have ur favs around, kaisa depression? bahar jaana usko aise hi acha nahi lagta. movies usne dekhni chod di, pati ke saath occassional smp's can be sacrificed..MA will be more than happy to help her son with his wallet , watch , laptop &, nashta 😆

as for varsha, it does take a few days to develop the mother n baby bond...coz in the initial days , all that the baby does is taking feed and sleep...n it's common to go in depression when ur feeling weak, lack of sleep and other factors...mother dairy banke bhi koi zyada khush nahi hota 😆 i toh will always say ke this "too much love" is better than no attention..varsha should be thankful to rajshri & co bec. her khaane peena, baby, every need is taken care of properly ! i know the value of it..after c-section , in just 15 days i was up and doing my baby's work and my work on my own 😭 in 5 months i feel i've grown old 10 years.....bas figure conscious ke chakkar mein sab khatam ! backache, dark circles n what not !

charu you are right about the joint family, even couples raising kids in citys do get some help i remember i use to run and pick up our tennets baby, and -play with her while her mum was doing house work and also she would ask my mum or other ladys in the house when i am at school, but thats when mothers are at risk of PND, as everyone is advising how to do what, and first time mothers can get over whelmed, and since she is the only child she have not seen, children raised like skshra has, and of course junk food is a nono in anyone's life nursing or not, but going out for walk with yr husband for 20mins is best not only fresh air can help but chnge of atmosphere is good for mother,
But has any one think its realy weird that she left the baby with MIL to go to maika, dont she think her mom would like to see her granddaughter, and if she is away for couple of hrs baby will need the feed as she is still nursing i think.
hope she is not realy depressed and planing something stupid.



Actually, Varsha gave the baby to Rajshri only for a few mins so she could go and get ready to go to her mom's place WITH THE BABY. I don't think she is going to leave Ananya at her in-law's.

It seems that Shaurya is either completely oblivious to Varsha's feelings, or just ignoring them? He always seems a bit shocked/annoyed whenever she leaves the baby with Rajshree. 🤔

Typical reaction from a first time father. He is super excited he is a father & expects the same from her. When that doesn't happen I think he concludes she has no feelings for the baby. Since she is the mother she is expected to be a super mom from day 1. Dhuniya ki reeth hai😊 I think Varsha will come around soon with a little bit of help from Rajsri.

Yes, in all likelihood, that is what will happen. 😊

Wondering how Akshara will deal with life when she becomes a mom.

bahu ko sambhalna easy hai just, let them do what they want, if they want to live on there own, let them after getting loan to buy the house, paying mthly instalments, bijli paani gas ka bill not to mention phone broadband and you got the idea, they learn. my sons always use to say they wanted to live on there own so i said fine and after they merried i let bahus do what ever they wanted here in australia, they work side by side, as both have careers so, and now younger live 10mins drive from me and he learn fast that cooking cleaning is not just women's work😆😆😆😆😆😆😆( well he know never to say in front of mum as she can kill)😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 older bahu and son lives still here and since they both work i do cooking but on the weekends kitchen is all bahu's and what ever she does i dont interfere, 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆, thats why G# make me so mad as how can she expect bahu to look after the house if she is allways looking at her as some idiot.
but i am lucky i got very nice girls as bahus they kept the good things from both cultures(gora and indian) born and raised here same as boys and charu i have to do everything for my second son as first time my mum was here and so was my saasuma but with second saasu ma ko bhagwan ne bulla lia and mum was in india so i was looking after 2yrs old + baby and house work, having suportive hubby is always help.
ok thats it for my blabering😆😆😆😆😆😆😆

really nice to read ur story ❤️ i so much agree with you that taking responsibilities is the most difficult task...living in a nuclear family is not a cakewalk either...it's tougher and more demanding..it has it's set of problems....joint family, if not joint, at least our parents should be with us...for the same reason , i always try to avoid any conflict which might result in division of the family...like our parents r special for us, hubby's parents r equally imp. for him....the influence of grandparents on kids has no parallel ! i didn't have hubby's support in raising the kids 😆 gawd i had to do everything on my own..wake up all through the night n look after 2 kids ....it's sheer torture..first time my mil offered help but i was too arrogant to take it, 2nd time she didn't bother n i came to know the value of it.....i didn't expect any help from hubby either bec,. after a long & tiring day at the office, it's difficult to stay up the whole night..being at home, i can rest anytime of the day when the baby is sleeping.....

it's only bec. of my MIL that i'm living life like a princess 😆 whenever she's around i need not worry abt the servants, housework , kitchen or anything..i can leave my kids with her and go out whenever i want....i hate to leave the kids alone with the maid.........she has her own life so she doesn't expect too much from me either..i've noticed so many times that when she chats with her friends, her mood gets better...enuf of my blabbering now 😆

i'd love to hear ur views on akshara..is she real? bec. u have seen life more than us...u must have met a lot more people.....
