Mothers-in-law are the God’s greatest gift to people. OK we may have exaggerated it a bit there but they are still pretty awesome.

Being a mean saas is not everyone’s cup of tea. Do you have what it takes? (YouTube)

They are independent and powerful. They know how to stick together when another saas needs help:

They know how to take care of a bahu who has not been on her best behaviour lately:

That’s right, roll her up like a joint and beat her with the regular, desi brooms:

Yes, they can get nasty when more often than not but there is a little bit of saas in all of us.

So alright humanity, here it is. Here is the quiz to beat all quizzes. A quiz that tells you which of the multiple awesome mother-in-laws of Hindi TV you are.

Are you a Komolika? Are you a Ramola Sikand? Couldn’t be because we have only included the most recent and by the extension of that argument, also the most evil and weird.

Here we have a set of five questions, answer them like you would if you were a saas and you will know who you are deep down: A softie who loves her bahu or a Satan-spawned evil monstrosity made of all things dark and horrible.
