Foreign wife visits Indian husband's village for the 1st time - Meeting my Haryanvi in-laws
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 лип 2024
- I had been waiting for this visit for several years! I've been living and travelling all over India for more than four years, but I had never before been to my Indian husband's ancestral villages in the rural region that is located at at the border of Rajasthan and Haryana. But finally we got the opportunity to make this short trip happen while we were visiting my in-laws in Jaipur for a month. This also meant that I got to meet my husband's nani (maternal grandmother) for the very first time, which was a very important and special thing for me to do. Nani is the only living grandparent to the both of us and I wanted to make sure get to meet her.
The life in this region, in the villages and farms can be very challenging and lots of hard work. I wouldn't necessarily survive a whole life there, but I loved spending a few days experiencing my Indian family's roots and history. In those rough conditions, we get to experience more gratitude: it's mostly family, spirituality and being able to have a meal that matters.

It's not easy for a girl from the west to get adjusted in Indian village.....but I must say bravo girl your are outstanding lady
And spl that to in Haryana. Jai jaat devta
ua-cam.com/video/4n1YH2n3a6M/v-deo.html
Bro have u thought. How awesome Vinodhs Grand mom must be. The last white person she must have seen are the ones oppressing our country.
I made it 100👍
Actually she didn't feel anything, because parents are amazing other family members so supportive, very easily coexistence 👍👍 and in last both culture mixed without any hesitation, not like Arabian culture that so much problem and most of time both families never United as before contract marriage you need convert into that religion that useally derogatory especially global coexistence society , wearing burqa etc
The lady has amazing patience and big heart. In my experience she would have failed many Indian wifes in the way she patiently learned about the new system which most urban women would fail to adjust. Makes me respect her ! God bless all of your family members and give you whatever you want in life
Wives.
You are a brave girl and have adjusted so well.Good on you girl.Take care.
Thank you for the kind words :)
She is such sweet girl, I hope her husband looks after her n never hurt her, bless u both❤️👍
Villager people in India are generous and they make tasty food , despite of the difficult life they have .
The norms of an Indian society can be very trying to a westerner, five stars to your patience and embracing the way of life. 🙏
Indian culture is a combination of different cultures, when you travel we can see very different cultures across India. You might have noticed the differents between Haryana village and Kerala village .....
Thank you for showing North Indian village from inside out....
I love the diversity and there is always so much to explore and learn! 🙏❤️
Vinod is very lucky ....a pure hearted lady
Thank you for covering your head. It is a sign of respect for the culture.
Enjoyed this video of yours. You coped very well in the village environment. I love village food cooked on outside wood fire - it makes the food tastier. You are lucky to travel around and see so much and the Indians are so hospitable. Take care and I hope you enjoy Christmas back in Kerala.
Thank you so much 🙂 Have many plans for our family Christmas to share Finnish traditions with Mommy and Daddy. And I so agree! I love food cooked on open fire :) We do it quite a lot in Finland too, though not in everyday life.
Loved this man, village kids in India are not at all shy. God bless him
I Love to watch people who love spending time with their grandparents
I look at her... embracing everything with her patience and smile.... and then I look at our Indian Bahu's.. No patience, zero gratitude... high on attitude.. only fake smile !
Thank you so much :) But to be fair, I must say that quite many Indian bahus aren't treated with as much understanding and respect that I am, but rather as if they were maids and they had to follow everyone else's orders :/
@@JohannaNorth Agree with your point, but aren't there imperfection everywhere? This world isn't so perfect.. isn't it? I am not talking about "asshole in-laws" but I am talking about a mix of more positives and less negatives in the family.. I think there comes the adjusting with family. Doing basic household chores of your home (if she thinks it's her home after marriage) doesn't call her to be a maid... but this is a new mentality of these ladies... again it's all about patience and smile. Since you come from an absolutely different background, they (your in laws) aren't expecting much from you and I hope you don't get to talk or see the "super conservative" men/women of the family. Best of luck!
My Nani ji used to make the best malpua's. Watching you eat malpua's brought back her memories. My Nani ji used to live in a village too. Thank you for posting this video.
Such a pure soul as you are,you will be happy where ever you go,dear lady!
Family is all that a person needs in his life..lots of love and respect from Maharashtra, India

They are very creative and clever. Love the rugs and bed. Little boy was so cute

Johanna dear...what you said about Finnish women being strong as Hariyanvi women is so true...that's one of the reasons you could adjust so well into their family..so proud of you...not even many urban indian girls would try many things you tried your hand at in the village house... God bless you with a lovely baby and a wonderful life..🥰😍
It's endearing to see them welcome and accept you with open hearts ❤️
I'm really proud of my family and their openmindedness too :) I think it's a two way street, as they see that I'm genuinely respectful and eager to learn about Indian culture and village life, they also accept where I'm coming from and want to hear more!

It is so cool to see you adapt according to what a village has to offer with an open heart without any hesitation.♥️
🙏❤️
This astounds me how you have blended in the complex but fascinating Indian culture ; not many foreigners can understand it ....for most its just chaos and penury . Only a broad minded and resilient individual can acclimatize to such peculiar conditions .
Congratulations Johanna and husband. I do trust and pray that your baby and you stay healthy and safe.
Thanks for sharing the family time with elderly people, a rich heritage.

Jonathan's madam you so intelligent and. Your English so clear pronounced Indian listen clear voice and your discipline and indian bhau perfarmace roll 100 yes
Beautiful and pure hearted girl
All attitude Indian one much watch it
Johanna, I recently came across your videos and they are pure gold for me! There are so many resemblances that the videos kind of feel like a glance into my future. My partner is from Karnataka and I am a pale blond woman from Germany. We also met over Okcupid and I am also definitely more extrovert than he is. Like you, I had struggles with my weight from an early age on. Until now I just met my boyfriend's parents via video call due to the pandemic but I hope to visit India soon. So thank you very much! Your videos really help me a lot.
I Just want to say that. i have seen alot of same kind of relationship like you and vinod bhaiya. But never seen like that. You were at the chulha making round roti as you prepared for best bahu test was amazing. You literally got something that no one could have. The raw experience. Great to see cross culture mixture. And looking forward to it. Take care for Anika you and bhaiya.
Lots of love from Delhi India. 🌺❤️
10 out of ten for Bahu ..........I congratulate the family .

Real village life in India - simple and plain but interesting.
Such a nice person u r. respecting all the cultures is vey good🙏😊keep going
Geez you guys are so positive..Huge congratulations for everything and best wishes.❤️
Why you say ur positive are u indirectly demonishing indian rural life?
@@rocky4219771 i don't know what are you referring to exactly..
The "positive" word was used for them because of embracing attitude.
@@mrxyz9519 Thank you so much!
@@rocky4219771 What so good in the Indian rural life?.
@@user-ml1mr1ls2y whats so bad about it just because it doesnt fit the western template its bad ??
Ooo u shld have our maal puras also....thy yummy...my nani used to cook always whenever we visited them in our school holidays....vinay is sharp. Luvly village home. Luvly people...luvly Ms North Star....u have so much assimilated into our culture even though it's a rural setup or jaipur or kannur, it's so touching...luvly people from across the world getting together....it's sucha luvly feeling...it is what keeps me coming back here. It's my personal belief u must have been an indian in ur previous birth, like u taken to India like a duck to water...it's the Indian reincarnation thing...God bless alwayz 🙏🙏🙏
But lazy bones missed the dhaar kardna haha
You must be an Indian in your previous birth!! It's amazing to see how well you have adjusted with rural/traditional way of Indian life style which I think even a modern Indian girl would find difficult to adopt!! Missing my village days of India here in Canada🇨🇦🇮🇳
Very nice Johanna. this people are living the real life; together with family, making things by yourself and life a simple life. that is being rich.
Rajasthan and Haryana are the brothers of same mother. We have also the same rituals. Lots of love from Rajasthan ❤️❣️.

everyone was so kind to johanna. if i would be in place i be too embarrassed.
Oh I felt a little overwhelmed with all the kindness too! I don’t know how to react to all the attention and gifts and so on 😁❤️
Johanna,
I had been to Europe several times, I know that culture very well. It is a great challenge to get adjusted here in India for a European woman. You have embraced Indian culture so gracefully. I pray to god for your and Vinod’s Happy life 🙏
Thank you so much 😊🙏
Johanna your so humble god bless you and your family
A lot of Indian city women can't adjust with village lifestyle, but you have done it well..I hope you are happy because you deserve to be 🙏🙏
Beautiful. I enjoyed the sights of India. I am Indian origin but sadly never visited India. I love nani's country home. Vinay is a smart kid and speaks English well. Nice mandir(temple) too. My regards. Be safe. Thanks for sharing.
Hope you also get to visit your ancestral land after travelling becomes safe again :)
You are very kind and sweet women , I love to watch your vlog . The bed and rope are amazing 🌸💕
This is the best video on UA-cam! Like, it's hard to put to words all the joyous moments in this video, with your narration of your family and the place, beautiful, beautiful video! Amazingly peaceful and heartwarming!
Vinod is lucky to have a wife that every ones dream
🙄'EVERYONE DREAMS' like really!!
Very simple village life, good food and utter humbleness of the family members
Khat (charpai) Vinod's Mama ji is a creative man.
Creativity of village Women ❤️.. appreciate.....

You are very inspiring.
As of today, you are my favorite blog. Thank you so much. Reminders me of my family.
I was waiting for this part. Thanks for uploading it. Kind of reminds me of my own village and grand mother.
Hi Joanna, love that you are so grounded and simple girl at heart. ❤️from England
☺️🙏
Really enjoyed watching this video! You blended in very well! Thanks for sharing.
Love you Bahu Johanna. Aunty Gail here.
Reminds me of my visit to my Maama's house when I was little. Good food.
Wow she is very kind heart girl and so adorable couple 👌
I just came across your channel and I am so glad it happened. There is so much to learn, you are so humble. Not sure how I would feel, probably uncomfortable to be in a village but so good to see you are enjoying the real small pleasures of life. This is true happiness 🤗. Wishing you nothing but the very best in life.
Thank you so much and welcome here! :)

The charpai ( beds) and the dharri are beautiful. I love village life every where it’s so simple and pure. Ghobi ( cauliflower) looks so tasty. Omg the way that bull looked at her 😂🤣. When I visited Pakistan I thought everyone at the airport were there to greet me lol I thought they were my relatives as they surrounded me 🤣😂happens in places like India and Pakistan but if you go China they’ll keep asking to take pictures with you 🤷♀️

Sorry to hear about your dad Johanna but I am sure he is proud to see how you have adopted another culture so whole heartedly, thanks for the video, it is very nice to see one happy family. Vinod is very fortunate to have you as a life partner as adopting a life in the eastern culture is tedious and you have raised the benchmark for other foreigner brides in India :) I send you tons and tons of good wishes and blessings
Thank you so much for saying that, Suparna. I truly appreciate it

Lovely..Johanna. You're just awesome. An inspiration
☺️🙏
Indian culture is the most rich culture....what I believe...
kid is very smart
That bed is so beautiful and that too recycled from old clothes. If possible, please share a video on how he made it from scratch. That kid is adorable!!
Unfortunately I don't have a video about the making process, it must take a good while! But definitely a good idea to shoot on our next visit :)
@@JohannaNorth it needs skillful hands to make sustainable recycled products! Very interesting video
Yes, Really beautiful. Nothing goes to waste in India. Atleast in rural India.
@Johanna North carpets are really amazingly beautiful,if interested & possible pls help Mama & family in marketing those rugs & Charpai(bed) for additional income.Just loved the little one.♥️
@@jaykashyap_ I was thinking the same, they cn start an online business and even provide job to others in village(man power for business). If they start i will def buy. Designs were so modern and beautiful colours combo, would look awesome as my room floor mat.
I have been to so many villages in Haryana.The hospitality is just amazing. I think this part of India is just amazing.Amazing to hear Vinod speak Haryanvi.
I love villages all over India for their hospitality and generosity ❤️ and Haryana was no different! 🥰
