More than insensitive

I wish the makers would abandon this formula of picking up one social issue after another and solving it with a quick-fix holier-than-thou bhashan everytime.

Things like depression, grief, etc., are highly nuanced, messy and sensitive topics and there's no way they can get sorted out with one laughter club meeting, comparisons with other people's miseries and a speech about choosing sunlight instead of darkness. It's a mental health issue, not merely a conscious choice. Let people grieve at their own pace, for heaven's sake!

The same for everything else that the serial tries to preach about. It gets it ALL wrong again and again, whether it is about sexual assault or adoption or infidelity or abandonment or harassment or domestic violence or organ donation or even their current pet topic: a teen's access to por*ography. (They treat Romil in such an alarmingly inconsistent way, slapping the child who was merely acting out in frustration against his difficult situation and then suddenly seeming very understanding and caring when the next opportunity turns up for a good-parenting bashan. He is treated harshly as an adult when they feel like it and patronised as a child at other times.)

Not only does the script not do justice to these issues, it actively spreads the wrong message and regressive attitudes, all while claiming to be progressive and feminist.

I don't care much about the deficiencies of script or the acting. I do care however about the blatant hypocrisy of it all. What a terrible serial this has become! 🤧🤧🤧

True that. Each and every issue has met the same ridiculous conclusion.

According to them progressive parenting is limited to educating kids about good touch and bad touch and spending quality time is limited to doing school projects and periodically cooking their favourite meal.

If they asked Anupama, shouldn't it include:

Raising alarms about uncomfortable environment, bringing bullying, illtreatment, verbal abuse to the parents' notice, sharing most vulnerable feelings with parents, spending time with parents in learning new things, may be going to a park. Basically, being a kid that they truly should be?

Anupama be like:

What ijj that?

I have this on-going theory that this show is Shahi's long-format anti-feminist manifesto. Every feminist issue including sex worker's rights is caricatured and ridiculed till it's reduced to a bangle-banging viral meme so that no one takes these issues seriously

Women end up hating women from watching this show lol
