Shabnam Singh is one excited mother-in-law as she gears up to welcome her new daughter-in-law Hazel Keech on November 30, the day she's getting married to cricketer Yuvraj Singh in Chandigarh.
But Shabnam has only one agenda in mind right now, which is to make sure that her bahu Hazel looks like a traditional bahu on the day of her wedding and after that. This is why she's busy shopping for her daughter-in-law's trousseau these days.
“It’s mostly suits and sarees as of now. Hazel is a bit of a tomboy but I want to make her the real, traditional bahu. I am trying to make her look like a lady now," she told a popular national daily.
Shabnam has also revealed that Hazel has shopped for the wedding from Jaipur and from her designer friends in Delhi.

“She went to Jaipur with her mother. In Delhi, she has a couple of designer friends, so we’ve picked a few pieces from each of them. Some are designers and some are the usual brands, because she’s a very simple girl and that’s what I like about her. So it’s all mix and match," she adds.

Shabnam says is really impressed with Hazel's belief system and how she is deep-rooted in Indian traditions.
“It was Hazel’s first Diwali with us before the wedding. We were at home and we performed a puja. She is deep rooted in Hindu rituals and likes to be traditional. I was the one sitting without dupatta and she had her head covered, very sweetly telling Yuvi how to do the puja,” she shares.

However, Shabnam doesn't want to disclose what Hazel would wear for her wedding as she doesn't want to reveal too much though she does say that the wedding outfit has been finalised.
“I cannot reveal much about which designer she’s wearing at the wedding. We’ll talk about it later, closer to the wedding. I need to ask Yuvi too. Besides, if we give out the venue, all fans and media would reach there, so we’re avoiding that. We need time to share the wedding schedule," she signs off.
3 things every daughter-in-law expects from her mother-in-law
Like Shabnam, there might be a few things that Hazel must be expecting from her mother-in-law, the foremost one being accepting her as a daughter and considering her as part of the family. Here are a few things mothers-in-law should also keep in mind:
1. To be treated as family: Every daughter-in-law steps into her new home with the hope of making it her own and being treated as a family member and not an outsider.
2. To let her do things as she wants: While the mother-in-law had complete control over the domestic affairs earlier, after the daughter-in-law comes into the picture, she should also be allowed to do things the way she wants.
3. To treat her with respect and dignity: A mother-in-law should never forget that besides being her bahu and her son's wife, she is someone else's daughter and above all a woman and she should be treated with respect and dignity, come what may.
If these things are adhered to, we're sure a mother-in-law would have a smooth and healthy relationship with her daughter-in-law.
