Her father is no more, her mother lives alone...she has apparently been requesting to speak to her mother forever. Karishma is strong enough to survive without any support in the house, she was worried for her mother's well being and her mother clearly needed her daughter's support. I don't think the creatives can be that stupid or mean...and if they were trying to prove a point, I would say they failed miserably! People all over social networking sites are sympathizing with Karishma, because they are sensible and humane enough to get the point.
