@Milka2113  kem maaf karjo, but you genuinely made my day even better than it already was.
            Listen… people around you will always have opinions. Some harsh, some half-baked, and only a very few will actually be kind. That’s just how it is. But here’s something life teaches the hard way, don’t let any of those opinions touch your peace. Not the bad ones, not even the good ones.
            Just smile a little, shrug, and move on. Because the truth is, people forget. They move on like nothing happened. But the one who felt it, carries it. And that’s why I’m saying this to you… for your own mental peace, don’t hold onto what hurt you. Choose yourself first. When you truly do that, their words, their judgments, all of it starts losing power. It won’t reach you the same way anymore. The world can be harsh, unfair, even ugly at times. But at the same time, it’s also warm, kind, and unexpectedly beautiful. You just have to not let the wrong people define your experience of it. Life is already short. Don’t spend it replaying what others said or did. Let them be. Most of them won’t even realize the impact they had, let alone apologize. So don’t carry that weight anymore. Leave it here.
            And live freely, for yourself… and for the people who truly love you, who do love you, and who will love you♥️

Thank you so much for such a wholesome reply!!!!!! Really means a lot !!!! (⁠◕⁠ᴗ⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

@Milka2113  Princess … this message stayed with me. I don’t even know where to start, but thank you for trusting me with something so personal. What you went through… feeling left out, being laughed at for just trying… that does something to a person. And the fact that you still chose to try again instead of completely shutting that part of yourself down? That’s strength. A real one, to be specific. And can I just say this clearly? You speak Gujarati beautifully. I’ve read your comments. There’s confidence, emotion, and flow in your words. Even if you couldn't then also it doesn't matter. Language is not a barrier anymore. Don’t ever let those old experiences make you doubt that again. Also, the fact that Kutumb became even a small reason for you to reconnect with the language and culture… that’s honestly the biggest compliment I could ever receive as a writer. You didn’t just read the story. You let it change something inside you. That’s rare. And about people laughing back then… they were wrong. Simple as that. Nobody gets to decide your place in a culture or a language. And if they're too interested in judging you then let them, cause others can only judge you but never be you. So chill sweetheart. Even am.not perfect but people at my workplace call me narcissist lol, cause I love myself whatever i do. So i suggest you to do the same. At the end, novody can be you. Not our parents, not friend or our relatives. We're here for our purpose so let live it, complete it and let not other’s opinion bother our peqce and divine energy affect anymore. You'll live better than them, trust me. You belong wherever you choose to belong. I’m really, really glad you’re here… not just as a reader, but as a part of this family.
            
            So much love to you ✨️
            And keep writing those Gujarati comments, I’m always reading them with a smile.

@Sweta073 thank u dear reader✨️♥️

@Sweta073 thanks author I love your story so much 

@Sweta073 sure sweetheart today's the dayyy✨️

@thatbrowncraft it's okay
            Thankyou for the update

@Bumiboom_ so many sorries for late update✨️ 

@Thelsa_Writes First of all… WHY am I laughing so hard at “where is her ovary”  Sweetie you bought NINE hibiscus flowers and still the ovary said “I’m out.” This is not practical exam, this is survival game. But listen… dissecting hibiscus is genuinely tricky okay. One wrong cut and the whole reproductive system resigns. The fact that you kept trying till the third one and completed it? Respect. 6/10 is not a tragedy. It’s a comeback arc loading.
            
            Also now I will never look at hibiscus the same way again.♥️

@stolenreveries_ Bassss have mane radu aave che(Fine now I feel like crying) I genuinely had to sit down before replying to you. You have no idea what your words did to me. The way you described wanting to hold the paperback and read it to your mum… that image alone made my heart so full. Kutumb reaching not just you but your home? That is bigger than any ranking ever could be. Thank you for understanding why I chose softness over trends. I never wanted dominating noise. I wanted layered people. Flawed. Gentle. Protective. Real. And hearing that you saw that intention so clearly means everything. And please don’t ever feel guilty for wanting to gatekeep it a little. When something feels personal, you protect it. I understand that completely. I didn’t write this to be famous. I wrote it hoping it reaches the right souls. And when I read messages like yours, I know it is.
            Thank you for waiting. Thank you for feeling. Thank you for loving this family the way you do.
            We’ll hold that paperback one day. And I’ll remember this message when it happens.
            ✨️♥️

@thatbrowncraft you're truly very graceful and have a way with your words(╥﹏╥) honestly i just had this on my mind for days that i needed to tell you how much i love kutumb and words weren't enough, neither did they do justice because kutumb is so so so much more than that, but i hardly had the time to, and now that you've told me it's going to be published, i genuinely can't wait to hold the book in my hands, flip through the pages and read it to my mum because she's gonna love it just as much as i do, in fact when i told her about the book, she was glad to know it wasn't another toxic book but something different, i am so glad you decided you did not want an alpha male because at this point the trend's become sickening and toxic, you've written each one of them perfectly soft, layered and flawed which sometimes gets me frustrated too but it also gives me a kind of satisfaction because again, thats what makes them realistic, you didn't do SOMETHING right, the entire book was the right part, the best part and you know honestly although i felt like more and more people should find out about the book, a selfish part of me made me keep it to myself because what if they don't love it the way i did? what if they start nitpicking at the beautifully woven story they're getting to read instead of loving the characters? not really worth it for me and the fact that you did not write it to be famous but wrote it so it reaches the right people enough tells you're here because of your passion, not reads or votes, again, thank YOU for giving us them, i'll always wait for kutumb to be published!

@alaira__16 You guys are actually going to make me emotional on a random weekday at 6pm in the evening??? First of all, thank you for backing what @stolenreveries_ said. Watching readers connect with each other over Kutumb feels unreal. Like this little fictional Gujarati chaos really turned into a comfort corner for you all. That was never something I planned. But it became the most beautiful outcome. When I said one day it’ll be published, I meant it. Not as a fantasy. Not as a “maybe someday.” I want it to sit on your shelves. I want you to flip pages and feel the same warmth you feel here. You calling it a comfort zone? That is everything to me. Because Kutumb was written from a place of wanting to create a home. A loud, imperfect, dramatic, protective home.
            
            And excuse me… “a little extra love to Idhi and Raghav”?? The bias is loud but I respect it. They earned it. Let them enjoy their fan club.
            
            Thank you for loving this family the way you do. Thank you for waiting, reading, feeling, reacting. You all make this journey lighter.
            
            More drama coming soon. Obviously. It’s Kutumb.
            
            Much love ♥️

@yukiwrites02 Hey sweetheart✨️ This honestly made my day. Maybe my whole week too. Knowing you’ve been around since Amodini and are now reading Kutumb means more than you know. That kind of quiet, consistent support is everything. And Aradhya deserves every bit of love. Your work is beautiful and I’m genuinely glad I stumbled upon it. Please keep writing, keep showing up. The world needs stories like yours and voices like you. Sending you so much love. This one stayed with me♥️
