We all know Karan is jobless and seems to feel like he is useless. Sakshi on the other and Sharda out there at the factory trying to make things happen. So seeing this Karan seems to get "cheedy" is that normal in real Indian culture or even just the "Manlyhood" of a guy? is it an Ego thing for guys? I just understand why Karan is not understanding that even though he maybe jobless it still doesn't make him less important to his family.

I really can't understand Karan in this show. He is the one guy that changes so fast with every track of the story. First he is a spoilt, no responsibility, no work, no care guy with a bit of love for his mother. Then he becomes the boy next door type, then he almost a overnight transformation into a clever businessman, then his suspects his wife, then he loves her again, then he becomes this he-man who is constantly irritant blaming his wife while they are facing one of their hardest life situations. The way he reacted to Sakshi yesterday was almost unbelievable - not 'angry' unbelievable, but really just 'I don't understand how a person can get this mad over that' unbelievable.

I know that the writers are creating more hurdles for the 'bad days' but his reaction was just hard to digest.

Men can definitely get their ego hurt to the extent that they become sour. While some men hurt from the inside because they feel hopeless or guilty. I would think that they way they shaped this Karan character, he would be the latter.

Looking after your self-respect is fine, egos can get hurt - this is perfectly normal. But the way they have showed this self-respect of Karan is pushing it a bit.

When your days are as though as they are showing it in the show, you do have to swallow your pride a bit. Taking a temporary job at his mother in laws company is not going to kill his respect. Its a temporary compromise with the situation to help your family out.

The way they show Indian men in such shows is almost hurtful to women. The wife's family or even she herself cannot be of any help because it downgrades the man.

What a message for society.

I agree and I also have issues with how they portray women many times too with extremes of either being a saint or an evil witch. Oh the list could go on with the stereotypes in serials..;)
