While each relationship within the household is particular, there may be one which stands out for being distinctive — that shared between a mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law. While Indian soaps have satisfied us into believing that one in all them all the time has a conniving nature, and there may be some type of stress and battle within the relationship, the truth is far-less dramatic.
Sameera Reddy and her mother-in-law Manjri Varde just lately opened up about their relationship. The duo goes by the title ‘Messy Mama & Sassy Saasu’, and talking with Brut India, talked about their “new-age relationship”.
“I would like to say it is explosive, it is very spicy. It’s fun, and then there are also moments of ‘Oh my God, my daughter-in-law’s crazy’. My relationship with Sassy Saasu has truly evolved. We have a great relationship, everbody sees that. There are many things that we disagree on, but I always say we agree to disagree. It’s a constant work-in-progress. I think that everyday responsibilities, everyday choices, and because we are two strong women living in the same house, we have to constantly walk the line and come in the middle path,” Reddy, who married Varde’s son Akshai in 2014, mentioned.
Staying true to her sass, Varde supplied: “Everyone had their space, their own way of living and we did not infringe on anyone. We did not impose on anyone. So, I think we started off as equals, and that was just fabulous — no dependency on anybody… I am breaking age-old stereotypes because there is really no need. We are not controlling anybody anymore… We have to be open to our children, and sometimes the children and the younger people are very wise — they know more about the world in general. So maybe they come up with better ideas.”
The two maintain sharing their camaraderie on social media by way of relatable posts. Take a take a look at a few of them beneath:
Reddy mentioned that although there may be all the time this notion of a mother-in-law not getting alongside along with her daughter-in-law, she has many pals who’ve cool relationships with their in-laws. But are they as cool as hers? “I don’t think so,” she mentioned.
Varde mentioned over time they’ve understood one another, their “best points”, “trigger points” and “pressure points”. “So, we try to avoid those.”
