His graduation period doesn't allow him to aware about customs of Banaras.. Isn't everyone awared of widows customs and restrictions? And moreover DT doesn't like or interest to drag him over rituals and customs which I guess .. Probably general limitations were alloted for widows but after watching this show, it looks so far many limitations for them..

Viplav had said that during college time he had stayed in hostel that means he has been away from Banaras for a considerable amount of time... maybe he further studied abroad and hence he is not aware of the rituals...

good post sura, some people stay ignorant of their customs unless directly involved , Vips might have stayed away from home for sometime, but he has spent a lot of time with his GM .. this can;t be the first time he was with her on karva chauth...in yesterday's episode he said to his GM " aap ye sab apny pati premashwer ke liyay kar rahi ho humaray liyay nahi" so he did know women keep the fast for their husbands..he might not know all rituals but itna bhi ignorant nahi dikhana chahyay.

well genuinely, neither i know much of the traditions since i was far away

coming to viplav, well he is a pampered boy...he was neither interested in these stuff nor his family tried to drag him into it...but when his age to understand things arrived, he was sent out for graduation...

plus he know things sometimes, customs too, but a bit outspoken he is...he sometimes forget that he is talking to widows hence say out those words...also, he believes that the world has moved on, so he earlier felt that ashram widows too must have had, but he got a reality check now only..

Correct post at the correct time!

Forgive me for intruding...among the first few posts in any forum, though I regularly read the posts here.

Viplav's character is a really endearing one and has been played to perfection by Mishal. But how can he be so ignorant about Indian customs and traditions?

Viplav is born into a traditional, in fact, orthodox, family. The Mahapandit presides and rules over other pandits in Benaras. Such a person's grandson has not been exposed to customs?? His beliefs in superstitions and all may be in conflict with this family's, but karwa chauth is not a small thing that he could never have encountered. Viplav is reading about karwa chauth on the Internet and telling his grandmother about sargi?? Should it not be the other way round? Assuming that they have observed the vrat every single year, I found it out of place that Viplav should suggest to Dhani, a widow, that she keep the fast! For heaven's sake, he's a lawyer who studied in Delhi. Not in some alien culture.

Although Viplav is endearing for the most part, the writers taking such liberties with his character is plain irresponsible. He can have a foot-in-mouth disease and say the wrong thing at the wrong time, but such major lapses are a bit too much. Where on the one hand, he is helping the widows become financially independent and regain their self confidence, his complete ignorance about his own culture comes across as jarring.
