Masala segment was completely unnecessary and weird, IMO. There is also no need to keep comparing with V’s behavior towards her every step of the way and display contrast. They could have shown the masala badboo on women who are uneducated and don’t bother about self-grooming differently.
Come to think of it, if you are smelling like onions/garlic, it can be off putting to a lot of people around you. They could have shown how Anuj coaches her to groom herself, get rid of the stinky clothes while socializing in public. If you are around your partner, know their preferences and tolerance levels. Afterall, even partners are different individuals with their own set of preferences.
V’s reaction to that instance where she smells like masala was drastic and wrong. Just because V yelled at her for stinking, they don’t have to put housewives on pedestal, equating her to mata annapoorna etc. Never elevate something higher than necessary to prove the alternative is lower. Life is not always a competition where men & women are weighed on a scale for everything.
Sam, my limited knowledge of hindi prevents me from doing full justice to appreciating your poems. Translating it ruins the original essence. But I get the gist of it. Kudos to you for always trying to put a comic spin to an otherwise mundane scene.👏
Thank You so much
