The reputation of Indian mother-in-laws in the Indian society has been marred and reconstructed based on the type of daughter-in-law they get.
Thanks to the Bollywood movies, the image of a ‘good’ mother-in-law is often seen as a legend.
Nevertheless, here we present the kinds of Saasu Maas that our Indian brides come across based on myths as well as facts.
The Envious
This kind proves that mother-in-laws and envy go hand in hand (which, by the way is unheard of). These women are envious of what, you ask? Well, stealing their son from under their nose may suffice as one reason. It kills them (figuratively, duh!) to see their son run behind you 24/7.
The Dominatrix
Okay. We understand that the D-word is not the most suitable one here, but we sure hope your ‘dear’ saas does not turn up as one belonging to this category. They love controlling not only their son, but their respective husbands and daughter-in-laws. Do not try to change the channel while she’s watching a saas-bahu serial; be prepared to face the wrath if you do so.
The Hypercritical
This lot of mother-in-laws has their bahus looking for room to hide at all times. Their acid tongue is what is feared the most. Failure to do a chore and the subsequent words that come out of their mouth is enough to kill you, as they drip poison.
The Illogical
No. Not ‘Dillogical’, but illogical. (Damn! Saif and his ads). Coming back, the illogical or the superstitious mother-in-laws love for their days to start and end with the Almighty’s remembrance. And their list of superstitions is the one to watch out for. Your everyday activities can hamper, as they are guarded by the silliest of theories that make no sense whatsoever.
The Deadly
Yes, literally. They can melt you with their looks. Meeting this batch of mother-in-laws will help you understand why your spouse never came out of his shell. Seek permission before you blink whenever they are around or else….
The Splurger
‘Splurge’ might be an understatement to describe this category of mother-in-laws. This group loves to spend money; it’s like a hobby. Vacations to overseas lands and visiting the costliest spas in the city are their favourite pastime. Be prepared to send your child to the government school. No private school for your tiny gang!
The Competitor
This batch is the toughest to ‘compete’ with for all daughter-in-laws. The mother-in-laws here keep a close eye on the latest addition to their family (yes, you) and battle in all ways. They will either try to match you in terms of appearance or speech and will even strive to top it. On a serious note, good luck with this batch.
Indian drama shows featuring saas-bahu relationships have radically transformed the way an original daughter-in-law would portray her potential mother-in-law.
Even before getting married, they begin to perceive the kind of nature that the ‘old lady’ might possess.
But hey, risk to Spiderman ko bhi lena padta hai; aap to fir bhi bahuein ho!
