Trust me, she would have been an ALIEN (may be from Mars) to me, and I would be likeš²š² " huh really" , if she had not expressed those fleeting expressions which reflected the first pangs of insecurity .. please note, it is NOT JEALOUSY .. it is a subtle touch of natural, real, instinctive, spontaneous and human reflection, which made her character more realistic ,
I am so glad to see the ever loving Mom, the sweetest mom on TV, exhibiting a pain which twinged her heart, when her son, went against her and sided with his wife (unintentionally of course), you don't believe me, but, i found it quite touchy touchy and had a mushy mushy feeling when i watched the scene again and again '
Vanshika mom, inspite of being emotionally strong, inspite of being broad minded, inspite of loving Maanvi like her beti, she still exhibited those pangs of pain and insecurity, because above all this, she is VIRAT's MOM, to whom her son is the world.
I could feel her insecurities and felt bad for her,,,but that is momentarily which every MOM goes through in the world, yes, in the WORLD,.. from any saas bahu show in India to a show like Everybody Loves Raymond, over here, . the underlying essence of Maa-beta-bahu is the same in real life and fiction... enough of ramble.. let's dwell into Virat's and Vanshika mom's relation '
We have witnessed many a times the beautiful bond between these Mom-Son duo, be it from a happy conversation, or heart wrenching, emotional soul stirring scenes between them, they have had shared every secret of their life and they knew each other like no one.. specially Virat knowing his mom's love only for his dad..his mom knew about his love for Maanvi, way before anyone could even guess it...Virat is his Mom's reflection, her identity, her guroor, her pride,\ and her bachcha
It was, Vanshika mom's daily routine to give Virat his protein shake and she has never seen him miss his gym, even if it was Sunday, She tells Maanvi that Virat goes to gym even if it Sunday, Maanvi said Virat is not going to gym today,, two differing statements.. Virat comes and says he is going out with Maanvi,, and the sudden change in her expressions is so subtle and beautiful, the expressions were real, human, motherly and profoundly poignant ..āļø
Into her small world with her son, there is a third person. . how much ever she might be loving and caring towards her bahu, it is very human and very natural, for a mom to go through this phase of separation anxiety of letting go of her son to her daughter in law..I don't say she has no right on Virat, She has every right on him,.. but will slowly let go of her anxiety and her responsibilities..
Even if there is a slight change in our daily routine we do not like it..Now this is not just a slight change in daily routine, a mom who has been taking care of his son, day in and day out, not only in daily chores, but also in both in emotional and happy times, Now, she has to let go of her responsibilities on her son, and do you expect her to behave as if nothing happened, while her son's every daily chore is taken her by her daughter-in-law.. For heavens' sake she is a mom, not a material or furniture ,so that she does not to feel anything and be happy.
Just as a girl leaves her maternal world and come to stay with her HUSBAND, the boy's Mom, will let go of her son, and let him live his life with the girl who came for him, as his WIFE, only then can these TWO TOGETHER,will be able to form a beautiful world of their own ..
I loved the way she quickly composed herself, and I say with firm belief, that she didn't realize that pangs of insecurities could be within her.. it could have been shocking even to her, that she has those unknown feelings within her.
