There is another daughter-in-law and mom-in-law jodi that proves wedding is not just about joining of two hearts, it is also about joining families. Many times, we have seen a smooth connection between bong babe Rani Mukerji and mom-in-law Pamela Chopra. They share a kind of bond that can positively influence your relationship with your mother-in-law. One such moment was at the launch of Pamela Chopra’s store named Diva’ni. We could see Rani all by her mother-in-law’s side, to support and assist her in her venture. We are happy to see the young Mrs. Chopra conveying a positive and impressive attitude towards her MIL. Perhaps, she is just trying her best to fit into the role of a daughter-in-law. What say?
Seeing mums-in-law and daughters-in-law bonding over a cup of coffee or shopping is not a big deal in today’s era. But, living up to the spirit where you can bare it all in front of your mother-in-law is still a taboo. Well, we aren’t talking about baring your heart, but baring it in a bikini. Yes, the youngest begum of Pataudi pariwar, Kareena Kapoor Khan made an important point by wearing a bikini in the Maldives on her vacation with mom-in-law. They feel free and liberated in each other’s company. Surely, the mother-in-law is a blessing in disguise for bahu Bebo who was quoted as saying:
“When I am with the family, I am treated like a daughter. Sharmila ji treats me like a daughter. We are not in the 1900s. We don't live like traditional saas bahus. We just went to the Maldives for a holiday where I wore a bikini in front of my mother-in-law. It's normal. I don't understand why it's such a big thing. I would do the same with my mother.”
Kareena you are definitely lucky to be in such a happy state.

Every relationship needs time to grow and blossom. This can well be put as an example in the case of Sanjay Dutt’s wife and sisters’ great and the not-so-great moments. It is a well-known fact that sisters Namrata Dutt and Priya Dutt never approved of brother’s relationship with third wife, Manyata. In fact, it was just impossible for the Dutt sisters to stand Manyata as a new family member. But with time things have changed and they are all out of the family tragedy.
The sisters-in-law have started seeing each other more often and pulling together for events and occasions. One such event where we saw the girls as a close-knit family was at Shilpa Shetty's baby shower held in Mumbai. It was really great to see them talking and making time for each other. As per the sources, the three ladies have also been bonding at Sanjay’s Bandra house.
