Oh, did you all get that Anupam is a live in son-in-law? Which is a big thing and shows how evil/corrupt Rishi’s family is? They think they are better than their son-in-law and insist on him staying in their house and wearing down his pride. So we can just imagine what they would do to a daughter-in-law!!!!

    Yes, but they listened resentfully. The idea of making your son-in-law live in your house is just so unacceptable right from the jump that nothing else matters.
