They have worked hard all their life to educate Rajan and make him grow up. After some time, Rajan gets a job. Suresh and Anita find a good girl and get him married. The name of that girl is Kamini. Everything goes well, but slowly the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law start talking about their differences. Due to which the atmosphere of the house starts changing. Kamini was a girl with a new mindset who wanted to be free to make her own decisions. Whereas Anita was a bit old-fashioned. She felt that a daughter-in-law should do everything after asking her. Kamini tried to have her way, and Anita stopped her from doing everything. There used to be arguments between the two many times. Rajan himself gets stuck in between them. He is not able to understand what to do. On one hand, the expectations of the parents, and on the other hand, the feelings of the wife. It depends on me. It depends on Rajan. Every day, there are conflicts over small issues in the house. Every day, there are fights over one issue or the other. One day, Kamini tells Rajan that they should live separately so that everyone's relationship is saved and there is no distance between each other's hearts. Rajan got upset on hearing this because he did not want to leave his parents and nor did he want to hurt Kamini. Then Suresh explains to Rajan that, when you grew up, we let you fly; now that you are in your own family, you should also fly. If living separately saves love, then a true home is not made of bricks and stones, but of relationships. After a few days, Rajan and Kamini shift to a small flat. For a few days, everything was good. Kamini also felt good that she was living her life according to her wishes. They were taking their own decisions, but sometimes life takes such a turn that experience is also necessary. Kamini also started needing the experience of her parents, and Anita also understood that it is important to give space to the new generation. Some of her words should be listened to and obeyed. Anita would feel lonely without her children, and on the other hand, Kamini would also get bored sitting idle, and she would also miss talking to her parents. Now every Sunday, Rajan and Kamini eat at their parents' house and talk a lot. And Anita made Kamini's favorite pasta for the first time. Kamini was surprised to see the pasta, then smiled and said, Mummy ji, this is my favorite dish. How did you learn it? Anita said, I saw it on your Instagram story, then tried it myself. Seeing such a loving effort from Anita, Kamini's eyes filled with tears. For the first time, she felt that Mummy ji was really trying to understand her. Seeing her mother-in-law's efforts, Kamini also tries to understand her mother-in-law's words, so she also asks Anita about customs and traditions. Follows them. Seeing this, Anita becomes happy. The distance between Kamini and Anita starts to reduce. Now Anita sometimes talks to Kamini through video call. She asks her about the digital world, and Kamini teaches her to do online shopping and asks her to be active on social media. Anita easily agrees to Kamini's words. She also joins the social media platform with her friend and other people. She also watches the reel and enjoys it. One day, Anita gets the chance to make a reel, but she does not know about editing. So Anita tells Kamini that she wants to make a lot of videos with you. All the aunties in my group watch you. Kamini is surprised to hear this. She thinks that at one time, Mummy Ji did not like all this, and today Mummy Ji is asking me to make a video with her. After waiting for a while, Kamini laughs and says, Sure, Mummy Ji, we will start tomorrow. You tell me where to make it, and I will come there. Anita says, Kamini, it is your wish whether you come to me or I come to you. Kamini was surprised to see such a changed nature in Anita. Mummy ji, how much have you changed yourself for us? Now Kamini started giving more affection and respect to Anita. It is said that efforts from both sides make a relationship successful. The efforts of both of them gave a different identity to the relationship. Now Anita and Kamini had not only become very close but also good friends. The things that used to separate them, the things on which they used to quarrel, now the same things started connecting them. Strengthening the relationship between them. Rajan and Suresh did not know anything about all this. One day, Rajan was surprised to see a video made of his mother and wife because of the work that Anita used to do, like following rituals, customs. Kamini was doing all the work, and Anita was speaking the dialogues and punch lines. Rajan asks Kamini, When did you people do all this? Friend, looking at you people, it doesn't seem like this; you are the same mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who used to fight over small things. Kamini says, when Mummy can change for me, then I can also change for Mummy. Rajan understood that neither of them was wrong. It's just that, who should take the initiative to understand each other? This was the problem that is over now. One day, Rajan says to Suresh, Papa, it seems a real family has been formed today.

Relationships should be maintained with understanding and not with force. If the bitch had not decided to separate, today this family would have drifted apart, and hearts would have been torn apart. Every generation needs to learn something from each others. Only then can a family remain modern as well as traditional.
