All I want to say is - they shouldn't use "you're a secretary" when she's not being treated as a secretary. It's infuriating dialogue.



If she refuses to do certain jobs categorically (while she happily does other more personal jobs).. that reminder is needed.😃

Here "secretary" = assistant + secretary + friend + fan #1 + adviser + wife. They changed the meaning of that role.

Also in India there are personal clerks, personal assistants, personal secretaries who do whatever the boss asks. Especially in a situation like this where it's not a company or govt. organization. Pragya works for Abhi in his residence, not his business. So she's pretty much at the boss's beck and call.

In this show, boss-secretary moments means mehendi on her hands and Abhi trying ms on her, going to jail, and going after kidnappers. If this has to be strictly like a secretary's role, then Pragya should not work for the man she loves/hubby in her laws home.

Well I guess we should look up the definition of "boss" and how it differs based on different nations. Maybe the Aroras had an an excellent interpretation of the word "boss" in their part of the world. I'm not sure why there were any complaints about her as a boss! 😊
Sorry Minz, this thread turned into something else. Am checking out now!

If a secretary is discussed for India, the boss should be discussed for India too.. and the soap is Indian anyway.

And No, a. boss in India is not what Aroras think. Nor do they say a boss should be like that. They think somehow he has to still "love" her in his heart.

And Mogambo was a fake boss.. cheater boss.. No one becomes a boss by stealing someone's property.

But here Abhi gave Pragya a job when she was a jobless. That makes him a real boss.

There can, of course, be freedom of opinion about what Pragya can/should do and members can, of course, bring up whatever they wish in the discussion, regardless of how irrelevant it may seem to me. My question posed in this post is restricted to the Mehras.

Which, I guess fair enough. Pragya is one too.

Very off topic Nainz. You are free to divert as you wish of course - conversation on the forum is totally free as any reference to the rules will remind us. But thanks for apologizing, I appreciate the gesture.

Of course.. Pragya herself is a Mehra and does not treat herself as a secretary. That's been the whole point. And if she was not considering herself a Mehra, she would not do that. So the issue is very interlinked.

@TM,
Btw, isn't there a difference between secretaries for rockstars and celebs compared to secretaries for a business person? If a business tycoon's job is to build business and his or her secretary needs to handle the meetings, paper works etc.., part of a rockstar's job is to have an appealing image even with his looks.. and if he thinks he needs a secretary who seems to know a lot about him and understands him to help out pick clothes and MS for him.. why is it even an issue. I don't even understand. The generalization is incorrect in this topic.

Will just have to disagree with you on that one.
