Everyones talking off anupama being in kitchen 26 years of life
But i was thinking anuj kapadia also was in kitchen for last 20 years of his life. He also must have done cooking everyday of his life plus sweeping, mopping, washing clothes and any house work that a woman does at her home.
Anupama may have done work for 7 people everyday but anuj also did similar job for 3 people everyday at home. Plus anuj must have gone to job for 10 to 12 hours plus travel in car to and fro from his office for an hour or 2 everday. Plus done all house work or helped GK everday. Thats why hes so good at cooking as hes doing it everyday for last 20 years of life
If anupama packed lunch for her 3 kids and hubby everday, anuj kapadia packed lunch for 3 people everyday himself, GK and Mukku
What must be a typical anuj kapadia day for last 20 years -wake up at 5am, get Mukku dressed up for school or college, prepare tiffin and lunch for all three, pack all three lunch boxes, drop Mukku to school or college by 8am, himself go to office by 9am and work till 3pm, drop Mukku back home from school or college(if no school bus or buses are rare in many places of USA except big city like new york). Remember this is 1990s not internet era of 2010 and later where bank, grocery all online. Than go back to office and work till 7pm or 8pm and go back home. Again cook dinner, help his baby sister in home work, prepare for next day.
I am sure anuj kapadia had more busy life than any anupama as he must be working non stop at home and office from 5am to mid night. Its a different thing he never says like anupama to anyone what a tough life he had to bring up his sister and himself alone last 20 years alone. Atleast for anupama she had maid in USA maids are very costly and you do not get.
Just because anuj is highly educated and is a man we must not ignore that he had a tougher life than anupama after his parents death. Yes he was rich very rich and working etc but he also did similar house work as anuapma for last 20 years for his family and house. Plus handled business working 10 to 14 hours everyday.
But just because anupama is less educated and taunted and not cooperated by her family we tend to assume her life is tougher than anuj. While reality is anuj had most toughest life because he got business responsibility at 25 years plus a baby sister and a aged 55 year old GK to take care of at such a young age. Plus his house duties, bank issues, income tax, property tax, grocery buying, paying bills etc from late 1990s only. Not a joking task i doubt he must have slept 5 hours everyday after his parents death for last 20 years given his huge responsibility. Thing is he never shows or says how tough his life was compared to a anupama or a vanraj etc while these two keep screaming every occasion we have tough life we did so much for family. While anuj believes being silent on what hes done in life unlike anupama or vanraj
Also Mukku was in hospital in accident his parents dead. How tough it must have been to anuj to be guilty of parents death plus fear of losing only surviving member of his family. Anupama created such big drama for one bapuji heart atatck although she had three men with her toshu, samar and mamaji. But anuj handled everything himself only GK with him. GK also is above 50 cannot do much running around. And whenever GK or Mukk u must be unwell how he must have managaed both office job and home to take care of them. Not an easy task one who runs between house and office only knows how tough it is when some family member is sick and you are only adult and no one else to depend on. Not a joke.
There is a proverb even mother feeds or gives attention to screaming baby. Anupama and vanraj are screaming babies who always say i did this i did that while anuj lets it be does not advertise what he did for his family or house or even at work place. Hence audience assume he had easy life tha vanraj or anupama is wrong.
I feel anuj kapadia had toughest life than a anupama or vanraj being only adult member of his family having to take care of a 50 plus GK and 11 year old Mukku at time of his parents death. Only because hes super rich now lets not assume that he had luxury life for last 20 years losing parents. If i think of it anuj had very tough life handing family alone and house work and office work and outside work alone for his family and home so far. Its a different thing he never says thats his goodness. Some people say their prolems and what they did for others some keep inside. Anuj keeps inside so we assume he had nice life easy life thats all
Anuj kapadia had similar life to a working lady in india 5am wake up cook get everything raedy help kids bathe(Mukku in anuj case), feed kid(Mukku) pack lunch and books bag drop kid to school or college than go to office work from 9am to 7pm (or 9pm) go back home again cook dinner than feed kid(Mukku) than help kid in home work(Mukku) than prepare what too cook next day wash vessels clean kitchen than go to sleep by midnight. This must be a typical anuj kapadia day other than a sunday or festival day for last 20 years
Why not highlight this in serial what life anuj had managing family alone at 25 years with a 50 plus GK and Mukku kid at home
Only thing anuj did not face was abuse at home like anupama. But you know office politics he must have faced a 1000 vanrajs to reach where he is today in office.
Yet we assume since hes rich super rich now in his 40s he had luxury life with servants and maids royal life all life
