I'm feeling very bad for Sameer - he is wanting to be dancer and we can see his passion in his eyes every time he is dancing. Yet, his parents are not wanting. Depsite being from good educated families only they are trying to force him to become doctor against his wishes. Thsi is very unfair - I hate these type fathers! We ahve seen these types before also in film like Udaan & 3 Idioids.

I hope Sameer is being able to do the things he is wanting - because we can dancing is his life. I think show is trying to highlight some social issue here - and telling people what to do. What do y'all thinks?

I am a parent and I can understand sameers parents fear but times have changed and we should be open to what the child want to persue , I think the generation we live in still old school of thought holds good but flexibility should be there
This is what sameer wants to do and parents can show interest to guide them and not pressurize them

yes, you are right shanti ji. hopefully parents like you will increase. I think they should say same thing in show also - because many children who want to be dancers & their parenst will be watching. but I don't know if they will go into all that, maybe not.

Every parent wants their kids to either be super competitive or follow their profession
The youth of this generation are exposed to a
Lot of career option and many which help in their talent to grow
Encouragment in that area is important otherwise they will go astray
knowing how the world is changing is very important for the parent

As I said in the EDT, Sameer's problem isn't just that he has a father who doesn't understand his dreams of dance. His problem is also that his father (as well as society) puts a different label on boys like him who are more sensitive and considered not masculine enough.

It's a shame. He really needs this. Even more than Meenakshi I feel. Because though he's better off, that boy is not in the most stable condition. Meenakshi, if she loses can go on. Sameer, I always worry about.

He doesn't need to win, but he needs to get something such as opportunities afterwards, some kind of hope or avenue to continue this path.

@bold very truly said..But these things need to be overcome and u can see that he gets frustrated with he is told such things somewhere he needs to fight back otherwise it will be hard for him..That has to come in him and he himself should bring it upfront.

He doesn't need to win, but he needs to get something such as opportunities afterwards, some kind of hope or avenue to continue this path

@both yes that is what the breakthrough part in him will strive to continue..
His chances of being winner of ASA could be there, but what if he doesn't but giving him the same path to progress in his journey is important..

Agreed, Shanti. He does need to overcome it and get stronger.

more than care for a son sameer's parents behave like they have a very big prestige in the world and that sameer is letting it down...since they both are doctors..that might be prestige for them but they dont want to c wat sameer wants...so in frustration they do all this😡

I kinda love the way the CVs have written Sameer out...if anything, his father has done what a number of fathers and mothers do -- define what behaviours are gender-appropriate for their children and what aren't, and expect them to follow exactly in their footsteps. Sameer's father doesn't just want him in any high-paying successful job: he wants him to join medicine just as both his parents did. His future's already written for him, and he doesn't have as much as a say! Where's the space for the boy to breathe with such expectations and with his heart lying elsewhere?

As far as I'm concerned Akshat's own behaviour mirrors his father's -- both aren't really interested in what he has to say, don't deem his opinion or his issues as important. In his pairing with Akshat, they're hardly a team -- even the encouragement that is meted out is only to him, and Sameer is given nothing but threats. Akshat's own frustrations of course force him to focus on him getting out of the rigamarole of being a background dancer, but his way of getting Sameer to dance properly is more than damaging because it reinforces in him that he's hardly worth the effort of being sympathetic or encouraging to.

Edit to add: This really is one of the reasons I feel slightly disturbed whenever he's branded a loser in the show or in the forum...why is it that his need for a sliver of encouragement, a little hamdardi, is seen as a loser's behaviour, but Akshat's own neediness - Angad's entire energy is focussed on ensuring that the stress doesn't make Akshat fall apart, prior to his pairing with Karishma...that was all Angad was really doing rather than concentrating on himself as well - is not?
