Plus points of Maasa

2.She allows nimmi to follow her religion,

3.She never says every bahu to wear saree.

4.She wants her every bahu to be perfect in everything. means they should handle the whole responsibility very efficiently.AND THERE ARE CERTAIN RULES IN EVERY FAMILY.SO WHAT IS WRONG IN FOLLOWING THAT. LOVELY IS DETERMINED TO BREAK EVERY RULES MADE BY MAASA BECAUSE SHE HAS NOT GOT THAT MUCH ATTENTION from her parents. She has been brought up by nanny. And Maasa has brought up their kids with certain values  and because of that values Kartik lied that he ran away with lovely and everybody knows that this is not true.

And if a joint family must have rules everyone should come up with them together not the dictatorship we see in this show. 

Also all these statements imply that she is doing them a favor by ALLOWING them these things. Working, following your own religion and wearing the cloths that you want to wear are some what of basic human right in the 21st century. They are not favors that some one bestows upon you. That's like saying she allows them to eat food or drink water. So what if she didn't allow then they would stop eating? 

My point is that her ALLOWING these things makes the statement ridiculous in it self b/c these issues are none of her business. Whether or not her DIL works, or what she wears is that DIL's problem, and Masa should def not interfere. 

maasa is strict but at least she is not trying to seperate lovely and kartick, she is just trying to make lovely fit in with the way she wants.

i think its better that way, at least lovely is with the family and slowly everyone is accepting her, and slowly there will be change in the famiy too.
