What's the point of this unnecessary sham?

...of Rituals and obsession with kanyadaan and spending money and dhoom-dhaam and taam-jhaam and blah blah blah.

I get it that it's Anuj's first wedding and Anupamaa's first where she is getting all the attention. But isn't this promotion of the unnecessary wedding commercialism that plaguing our society?

I had a court marriage because my family didn't support my inter-caste wedding. With rings, paperwork expense and a buffet dinner for friends, all I spent was Rs. 50k. Maybe if I'd have included a simple Hindu ceremony with budget decent outfits (I didn't), it would have upped another Rs. 20k but that's that.

I am not against pooja-paath, but this 10 day package with all unnecessary rituals elaborately done is looking both wasteful and stupid to me. MaAn could have just married in a temple in presence of everyone who wishes them well and sent out a good message as well.

All this ridiculously immature parties with Mukku and Devika constantly screaming, Kinjal's gyaan, LeeRaj's negativity, the trouble-trio's plans to make Anuj adopt them and Hasmukh behaving like a typical regressive dad who sacrifices everything for "beti ki shaadi" is just PLAIN IRRITATING.

It's also paving way for the fact that marriage will either be cancelled or Anupamaa will live in guilt mode after wedding making Anuj suffer again.

So Much for a Taam-Jhaam wali shaadi!!

I agree the marriage could have been in temple and reception in hall

mehendi haldi at anuj apartment or malvika anuj home

shahs house will spoil the beauty and sanctity of marriage

neither maan will enjoy nor kapadias nor viewrs this shah house marriage

Mukku and devika are angry and screaming because baa vanraj etc are constant abusing them

I understand the sentiment behind all the faltu ka kharcha and dikhava. I also believe in simplicity.

But, initially makers were giving hint for simple wedding sequence and it was fandoms bombarding makers with hundreds of msg every hour to get grand maan wedding. So they have to give big contract to anuj and dance contract to anupama in order to justify expenses and celebration and expensive dhoom dhaam wali wedding to maan. It was done for fans.

And not to forget, this is just fictional show. When much loved couple gets married then fans expect some dhamakedar episodes topped with songs, dances, faltu jokes, designer clothes and lots of drama. Thats why its a number one show.

People watch fiction to forget their own life problems, to get entertainment from this itv fairytale like world. They are not wrong if they dont want gyan on what is right for society every time.

And maan, with hardships both of them endured....they do deserve their fairytale kind of wedding.

And about the faltu ka kharcha... they did their part through anupama's bhashan on how she has every right to spent her own money on her wedding if she wants grand celebration...so i guess thats settles the problem

Agar court marriage kar lete toh shaadi cancel hone ki 0% chances hote,lekin nahin dhoom tana waali marriage karne ke chakkar mein shaadi cancel hone ki hi naubat naa aajaye..

I am sick of the grand weddings that are depicted on TV shows. I dont watch any other show, but my assumption from promos, & clips. It is way too grand making it unrealistic.

For MaAn, a temple wedding or registered would have been good. But I guess the makers are bent upon lavish sets, themed parties and extavaganza on all accounts. Every single festival is also depicted to be celebrated in extravagance. I absolutely loathe it.😕

In fact, like you mentioned they could have used this to convey a message of the unnecessary wastage that it generates.

Well,not only talking about MaAn,but in real life I believe everyone has a right on how they wish to celebrate their happy events in life,be it a grand wedding or a simple court marriage.

So judging someone for that,kind of puts me off,unless they are snatching away your money and celebrating their wedding then its a different issue...but if someone does have the money or they do wish to spend that money of a grand wedding,what is wrong in it?

And weddings do up the mood,people have something to celebrate,meet and greet and find joy....plus,iTV is a medium of escape for a lot of people from their dull and monotonous life, that's why the most dramatic serials are the most watched shows as well...so,the wedding is being done because that's what the majority of audience wish to watch.

I agree

I am not a social person and believe in simplicity.

But during the corona period, confining at home for almost 2 years, I realized that whether small functions or lavish weddings enriches life, removes monotony, and brings friends, and relatives, together.

It should be the person's choice how to celebrate their happy moments.
