બેઠક Bethak

પહેલાં વહુ ખાતી નથી, પછી વહુ ધરાતી નથી.

pahēlāṁ vahu khātī nathī, pachī vahu dharātī nathī.

Literally
At first the daughter-in-law does not eat, later the daughter-in-law is not satisfied.
What it means
A newcomer who starts out extremely shy and modest eventually becomes demanding and insatiable.
ગુજરાતી કહેવતસંગ્રહ (Gujarati Kahevat Sangrah) (1923) · read from the scan by machine — the Gujarati itself is unchecked · English is machine-made and nobody has checked it yet

Heard it differently, or know we've got the sense wrong? Tell us — that is exactly the kind of correction this needs.
