Jaya is a wonderful Mother in law👌no doubt about that. She has been very loving and caring towards pallavi since day one. But as a mother to raghav she didn't stand by him, instead of staying away from him she should have stayed with him and helped him become a better man. We all know Raghav always listens to amma. Maybe he would have been a different person.
Sharda lost her son but found a daughter in pallavi. And really loved pallavi. Like any mother even she was worried about pallavi's future. She tried her best to find a suitor for her. She is happy for pallavi and Raghav. I love Pallavi and Aai's bond.
Pallavi wasn't forced to stay in that house and work for the dukaan. It was she who chose to do so. Pallavi by nature is someone who likes to take responsibility.
And if I am watching the same show, I felt Pallavi was very passionate about her work, she enjoyed saree designing and working in that shop, it was not a bojh for her. Is taking responsibility of your family a wrong thing? Wouldn't we do the same for our parents?
