Middle aged women, lesser educated women, homemakers..These are all the women in India who crap their pants at the thought of paperwork & finances. Indians are anyway vary of investing & banking. But women have it the worst. They would rather let their money rot in a hidden kitchen cabinet than put it in a savings account. I think everyone saw the extent of it when demonetization laid bare everyone's secret cash reserves.
The reason? Exactly what Anu is facing. Fear of getting scammed. Lack of technical understanding, exposure, & English education. Fear of getting blamed by the family.
Why would the show chose to reinforce those fears? The types of Indian women who fear finances are the biggest viewer base of this show. Anu has finally started becoming financially independent. They could have shown her make a minor mess with money, and learn from it. But no.. They had to invoke a bank. They had to make it ₹20L. They had to scare the audience.
