Okay I know most of you are going to find this very childish but I just cant help it. Ever since I got married in to this family the ladies (mil and youngest sil) have said this too many times including today and I am really annoyed. I know everyone has different opinions and we cant control or change how people think but WHY would a mature grown up person say things that are not so appropriate and can annoy someone. So today my mil goes like you know what you have become better looking now you were very average before you got married. Okay this is her opinion but she and sil come up with this really often. The funny part is I have always been complimented even before shadi and after I got married their jaanne wale would always say your bahu is pretty and sil would say yeah she has changed now (I overheard her talking to her aunty) :S. Am I wrong in getting annoyed and being negative? Why do they drill the same stuff again and again in to my ears? What are they trying to prove? Btw this coming from people who themselves have zero tolerance for others honest opinions is very irritating. How should I react when sil tells me oh you have such and such eyes, hair etc:S. I just go like hmm and sometimes I pretend as if I did not hear her or I don’t really care what she thinks of me. But to be honest it does make me angry at times.
Re: How should I react?
is sil married? if no then tell her that don't worry honey, you will also become better looking after your marriage, fikar naat.
Re: How should I react?
Don't react to it. Don't let it get you.
Yes it is very childish and it reeks of jealousy. They seem to be jealous and insecure, and that is why they try to bring you down by picking on your features.
Take it as a compliment and let them say such things which will make them look bad. Their loss.
You wont get less beautiful by their words and they wont get prettier.
Re: How should I react?
She is engaged and goes on and on about how her fiance admits had she not been this pretty he would've never gotten engaged to her lol. Btw all my in ilaws relatives and family friends tell us that I andsil look alike. becuase of uundeniable resemblance people dont believe that we are not related by blood.
Re: How should I react?
chic learn to pick your battles. dnt let everything get to you.

You know it can be applied in a different situation. Whenever I go to Pakistan, the aunties always say this. You're older than my daughter. You're younger than my daughter. Okay Aunty. I get it. Ugh!
Is the analogy correct? ;-;
Re: How should I react?
^^haha it goes even further, people are always trying to tell me how much younger their children are to my nephew. like wth. i dnt even register these comments anymore
Re: How should I react?
yes, it can be very annoying, but dont let it get to you, the next time they say this, toss your hair and say sumthing like, '' its the inner beauty shining through'' or '' few girls have it in them tht they become prettier as they grow older''...or '' bus,its all due to the love and attention that your son showers on me''
anythng, just agree whole heartedly with them and they will stop doing it
Re: How should I react?
Don't react. People say annoying stuff all the time. Let them say it.
Re: How should I react?
Haha.. my khala had his habit. She would pass snide remarks like "your mamu said you just look like your dad, there is nothing special about you, he doesnt understand why they say u are pretty" .. or "my friends sister is so pretty .. like REAL pretty, not like you" .. Mostly I used to ignore it, but then I started to play it up with a full blown "I know I'm pretty, sucker"-attitude .. Needless to say she stopped ever since. (She clearly had some issue in her head, because I'm just an average girl trying to survive)
Re: How should I react?
Just ignore. It's the month of Ramadan and the best thing you can do is just ignore. I know it probably gets to you, but your MIL and SIL seems to be insecure and/or jealous. You know the truth, and so does everyone else, including them. Don't stoop to their level.
Re: How should I react?
The age old advice goes here: in one ear and out another.
Their behaviour shows immaturity and jealousy. All they are trying to do is target your self-esteem for their own satisfaction. Which is quite lame btw. Regardless, op always remember that their opinions don't change or define who you are. I'm pretty sure you're pretty in your own way and your mil and sil apparently wouldn't let go of a chance to make you feel insecure about it.
And like others said, choose your battles and don't let this get to you. Just ignore. :)

Agreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed!
Re: How should I react?
Next time someone says you and your SIL look alike…make a face and say “no we don’t” 
Re: How should I react?
Why do desi ladies do this?
Re: How should I react?
I know I shouldn't be bothered but the reality is I do get pissed off at times especially when they go on about how pretty they are and how their sense of dressing isalways admired by people (only God knows which people they are referring to). Honestly they are so funny I feel like laughing right in their face.
Re: How should I react?
Their gutts amaze me.
Re: How should I react?
I think you should do that. It’ll be amusing to see their expressions. lol. You know like, point at them and start laughing
Re: How should I react?
Smile sweetly at her self-praise. Then tell her, “Brains are personality are important too, sweetie. You appear a lot smarter and like-able when your mouth is shut.” 
But more seriously…don’t stoop to that level. Either ignore or gently call her out. The latter does work as it makes the person feel guilty. Sometimes people continue with their behavior cuz no one calls them out on it and let’s them know how they’re being perceived. Insulting her back will only turn her n mil n possibly husband more against you.
Re: How should I react?
I wouldn't burn my blood over it in all honesty. Better things to worry about in life.
Of course they are being mean and wicked in their manner but look at this way, maybe you have grown even more attractive after marriage? It's perfectly common and natural. In my view, some women tend to get even more attractive during different phases of their life, be it after marriage, during pregnancy or after becoming mother or simply when they age.
Like a poster said, people say mean things all the time, it'd no point wasting your precious energies over thinking about them. I get such remarks every now and then and you know what - I take them as a compliment. lol I mean so what, I do believe people get more attractive as they age.
I know its easier said than done but learn to twist life around in your favour.
