Hey everyone! 😊

So,the promos of this show really intrigued me, because I feel it brought to light an issue which is quite relevant in today's society.

So often, we have seen TV shows where the dragon MIL is pitted against the bechaari DIL in a war for the son/husband's affection. I was shocked to see that two women who I had childishly thought would be natural allies fought like snake and mongoose.

A lot of shows depict unhealthy and codependent relationships between mother-sons and actually glorify them. Here comes a show which seems to instead depict it for what it really is- a suffocating relationship that prevents a person from growing.

I always wondered why MILs and DILs are shown competing on TV serials, when no such animosity exists between FILs and SILs. I mean, when have you seen a girl's father fighting with his SIL for his daughter? 😆

Why is that women are pitted against each other like this, as if a man can only love one or the other?

Also, isn't it kind of sick? Mothers competing with their sons' wives? I mean, they occupy two completely different positions in his life and any kind of competition seems perverse. After all, a mother would not want to be his wife and the wife would not want to be his mother.

What do you guys think of how this situation showcases itself in society? To what extent do mothers like this exist- who want their sons to be 5 forever? Why is the same treatment not extended to daughters?

From what I can see of Raunak AKA the son, he seems a spineless robot who can't tell left from right and will simply nod his head to whatever his mother says. He will stand by while his wife is insulted and have no problems with being his mother's baby while pushing 30.

What say?

Apu u here yippie. I cnt believe out of all shows we have to meet her . diaper boy as he is lovingly called is useless and irrelevant. but then again which male besides the angry young man is relevant? raunaki is a total bore got no personality and the actor is useless. so hence I wnt be talking much about him.


what I dnt get is that on indian tv predominately there are there are more female villains then male villains. it seems that indian tv wants to promote the image that woman are bitchy and whiny. I remember reading an article on deepika or maybe kangana that said that the media always promotes a cat fight between the female actresses but never between the male actors.

one has to wonder why the indian media and indian tv industry is like this. are they trying to show the reverse in a twisted satire way. to wonder whether they trying to show woman the alpha male is now the alpha female protecting her cub and being a lioness. and here raunaki is the ultimate baby cub . all the bechara men getting conned by the female lead. poor guys in reality are all mindless and unintelligent.

what I kind of like about this show is hat the sickness of the alpha mamma is shown to a point where u cnt stand it anymore but also I like the female lead she is direct, to the point, she almost looks shrewd in the way she looks at the mommy monster. this show I dnt find reverting bt I am watching for chhavi and praying she is paired with the less of the 2 boring guys which is akshay

Nice take on this show! :D

IMO, Chhavi P aka Kajal has better chemistry with Sehban A aka Akshay coz both of them are seasoned actors who can ACT well! 😊

The guy who plays Raunak is way too much boring.. 🥱 He needs to improve a lot as far as his acting and dialogue delivery skills are concerned..

I applaud you for asking the question that has plagued me for a long time. 👏

Why this pull and tug from a M I L and D I L ??

Here the M I L is not only possessive but downright psycho for her son.

It is very unhealthy and you can see it in her sons demeanour of actually being a "Momma's Lallu"

You are right it is sick in how this show has shown the mothers obsession.

Kajal realising in one meeting Janki's intention tells more about Kajal and her instincts than Raunak who has been blind to his mothers obsession all his life.

Kajal standing up for herself from the veiled insults from Janki was brave and may come back to bite her family but I commend Kajal for not taking Janki's subtle threats and walking away with her head held high.

I do not know where this show is going for now but if the evil and creepy mother gets her
way in torturing anyone that comes near her son than for me it will be a fast good bye to this show.

To answer your question as to ... Do M I L like these exist in society ?

I do believe there might be some out there but in Indian Serials they are everywhere.

It is frustrating and perturbing to see why writers write this bull crap and why they garner this many T R P aunties to tolerate it for so long.

I keep hoping to see a change in this concept... but maybe that is asking for too much.

Show showing MILs against DILs have become stale now!!!!🥱 🥱 🥱 🥱

Star Plus had started off with this more than 15 years back and we do not need shows on it anymore!!!!🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢

Raunak is a spineless robot and there is no doubt in that!!!!😒 😒 😒 😒 😒

He lives in a bubble and I am sure his attraction to Kajal is just hormones kicking in rather than any actual feeling!!!!😛 😛 😛



I am really happy that you guys like the name "Diaper boy" and have made it popular!!!😊 😊 😊 😊

I am feeling quite proud that I named him that even before the show went on air!!!!😎

My friends and family started calling him "Diaper boy" and this show "Diaper wala show" after my comment on it!!!!😆 😆 😆 😆

I would like to thank my friends and fellow EBIans for this!!!!🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗

I would also like to thank people of this forum for the popularity of this name!!!😛 😛 😛 😛 😊 😊 😊 😊

Okay now that started sounding like an award speech!!!!😆 😆 😆 😆



Now coming back to Raunak he is entirely useless and a total bore!!!!🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢

The term "hero" can in no way be applied to him!!!!👎🏼

Even if we believe in Kajal standing up to the alpha female, what would she fight for??😕 😕 😕

Raunak is hardly a prize worth fighting for!!!!🥱 🥱 🥱

But Akshay is certainly not the hero and it hasn't been said anywhere that there would be a love track with him!!!!

So get that idea out of your heads guys!!!!😛

Can't we just kill Raunak and bring in a hot and handsome stranger into Kajal's life??😉 😉 😉 😉

As for television, well women are either paragons (behenji types) or bitches (sexy and stylish)!!!!

Clearly there is nothing in the middle!!!!
