@bold- that is so true and so nicely put. I don't know if you felt the same way, but there was a difference in the way Jaya greeted Pallavi versus the way Sharda greeted Pallavi. Jaya adores Pallavi as her DIL, I dont doubt that for a second..but her way of greeting Pallavi was how a loving MIL would greet her DIL on such occasions. She said what was required of her to say at that moment.. happy vat savitri, ache se puja karna, khub sare pics lena... Very sweet she was but if you compare that to how Sharda was almost in tears watching Pallavi in red dressed up like a bride..she looks so proud and happy for her..immediately put a kala tika on her.. blessed her with all her heart. That was the mother there who was just so happy and proud to see her daughter like that.. she was telling all the ladies around her "meri Palli aa gayi" so much warmth and maternal love in her smile ..
I know exactly what you mean!! And honestly, nothing wrong with it? Why can't Jaya be a MIL to Pallavi, she doesn't have to be a mom? If we step outside TV shows, so many saas-bahus have such a beautiful, respectful, wonderful, warm and unique bond, without being a replacement for the mother? Har rishta alag hota hai, but that doesn't have to make one less or more than the other, IMO. Let Sharda be the warm, doting mother and Jaya be the unflinchingly supportive and adoring MIL. I don't want to see Jaya 'replacing' Sharda, I want Pallavi-Jaya to have a relationship that's unique to them.
