First of all, Shweta is not Prerna. So, don't change this topic to a shweta-bashing one. neither am I interested in reading about Shweta's sri lanka trip in THIS topic. Let's talk about the question- why prerna calls her husband as Mr Bajaj.
Alrite! this seems to be another topic, where non-indians have made a mountain out of a molehill due to their lack of knowledge about India and Indian traditions.
It is an established norm in north india to call ur husband as 'aap'..a sign of respect. It is also said that it is sin to address ur husband with his first name. U r NOT supposed to take first name of ur husband!!!! Otherwise u'll go to hell(that's what they say!) A new bahu, after entering the household, if starts calling her husband with his first name, there'll be havoc in the house. Being a north-Indian, I know this. A lot of my relatives (especially senior ladies) address their husbands as 'aap', not tum, and avoid taking their first names, as a rule. This is not just limited to only north. Last yr my cousin got married to a maharashtrian girl. In the wedding, they had some game which is played in every maha. wedding, where the bride and groom have to take each other's name in a song. It is like a big deal..to take first name of ur hubby..not an every-day thing, across India.
I know it is weird, but that's our traditional way. Those who read Mr Sharma Boli of mid-day, will recall that Mrs Sharma refers to her hubby as Mr Sharma, nobody knows his first name. In traditional serials, you'll not see a Seeta calling her husband as 'hi Ram', she'll refer to him as- "Swami", "Aryaputra" "Rajan(King)". -anything but his first name 😃
You'll not find khandaani north indian wives calling their husbands with first names. They will speak the way prerna speaks.
Also, prerna always refers to her hubby , in his absence as 'woh' 'unhone' 'unka'...avoiding to take name. That's the way it is supposed to be. Even while speaking to him, she uses 'aap'...which is sweet.
To say that it is due to age difference or lack of love...well if you r saying that all the traditional indian married couples hv age difference and lack of love, that's a mighty erroneous statement to make! Well, but I understand it is not ur fault, just lack of knowledge about Indian culture.
