But the way Raghav has turned out, it puts a big question mark on his upbringing in my opinion.. Its impossible that all the issues he has, his temperament, anger management, ego, arrogance just came overnight in him after that fateful incident 10-15 years back.. the biggest issue here, and for which Jaya Rao will have to take responsibility too, is that she was unable to instill some basic manners and human emotions/sensibilities in Raghav.. the wisdom of telling right from wrong, insaan ko insaan samjhna.. galtiyaan accept karna, apologise karna, introspect karna, galtiyon se seekhna, apni galtiyon ki zimmedari khud uthana naki dusre pe thop dena... Ye sab Jaya Rao Raghav ko nahi sikha payi.. So no she is no where near being a good matriarch... On the contrary, look at Nikhil ..how good he has turned out, sensible, compassionate and mature,despite of having a father like Vijay Deshmukh.. I cannot comment on Mandhar but by and large the kids in that family have turned out pretty decent except for Amruta ofcourse..
Jaya Im sure will turn out to be an excellent MIL for Pallavi..Pallavi is lucky in the MIL department.. Both Sharda and Jaya adore her..
Deshmukh family has some rotten apples- Vijay Deshmukh, Sulochana and Amruta... Rest of the family especially Sharda, Nikhil, Milind and Manasi are good human beings.. This list may get shorter after I watch todays epi if Milind and Manasi dont speak up..
Point of raghavs upbringing, he doesnt have one. Raghav was an orphan without being an orphan. His mom kept him away for years so he is self made and without an mothers love for a while.. he has lesrned harsh realities and so hes developed a tough exterior and has a bunch of vices..he has damage jist as much as pallavi has baggage.
