कोणत्या पात्राला कोणता शाप योग्य आहे? (Curse any character, any show)

The inspiration for this topic is Sundarā Manāmadhe Bharalī (Colors Marathi). First, Uttamrav (Appā) cursed Vidya that a girl should be born in her family and grow up to be deceived and rejected for marriage. Then Tulasa cursed Latika that she will never be happy in her marriage with Devavrat.

Perhaps this is foreshadowing that a show that deserves to take a long walk off a short pier will instead take a leap into the future so that Hira, Adhira, and her unconceived little sister are all old enough to marry.

Meanwhile, everyone is hereby invited to come up with creative curses for any character on any Marathi TV show. Please state what the character has done to earn the curse, and make the misfortune funny.

Curses that are actually blessings (e.g. Śakra's idea अध्वर्यवे दुहितरं ददातु च्छन्दोगे वा चरितब्रह्मचर्ये आथर्वणं वेदमधीत्य from Mahābhārata Anuśāsanaparvan 95.75 and 96.44) are not allowed!

My first curse is for Gajanan Purohit on Ramā Rāghava (Colors Marathi). He is a deplorable father to all three of his children. He neglects Karttikeya to praise Raghav; he tortures Raghav to affirm Karttikeya's envy; he excludes Shruti from the family tradition of paurohitya, humiliates her publicly, and treats her like an aspṛśya.

May Gajanan Purohit be possessed by a brahmarākṣasa so that he mispronounces every mantra until he listens to a woman reciting it correctly. May it turn out that the brahmarākṣasa is a creature of artificial intelligence that escaped from Raghav's software design, while the cure is revealed to Shruti in a dream during a night out in a hotel room where Karttikeya was the only purohita willing to perform vāstu-śānti.

Tbh, I stop watching a TV show/movie if it makes me curse a character or storyline.

Come on, isn't there any character whose hubris makes you want to twist the plot for some nemesis?

Get creative and don't let Hiraṇyakaśipu escape his garva-nirvāṇa!

My second curse is for Krishna'i Kavathekar on Piratīçā Vanavā Urī Peṭalā (Colors Marathi), who has an annoying habit of attributing serious misfortunes to God's displeasure with her for trivialities.

A well suddenly dried up, creating hardship for many poor farmers. Krishna'i spent twenty-three or more years wondering if it was because she wasn't a good enough second wife, co-wife, or stepmother.

Now Krishna'i has decided that her husband's death was caused by their omission to include the usual golden pitcher (presented to Bhairava for his blessing when Priya was born) in their Satya-Nārāyaṇa pūjā two days prior.

Stressing out about tomorrow's pūjā after losing the key to the safe where she keeps the pitcher, Krishna'i asks, "तो कलश पूजेत ठेवायचा राहिला आणि भैरवाचा कोप झाला तर?" "To kalaśa pūjeta ṭhevāyaçā rāhilā āṇi Bhairavāçā kopa zhālā tara?"

May Krishna'i witness the most dreadfully inauspicious Satya-Nārāyaṇa pūjā that puts her brood's dysfunctionality on full display.

1. The kalaśa will remain trapped in the safe, so Nanda will bewail the Kavathekars' penury, noting that Nimbalkars don't do rituals mṛṇmaye vīta-hiraṇmayatvāt.

2. The kathā will be interrupted by Balaram's concubine demanding payment, causing Shali to fetch shoes to throw at him.

3. When Bhaiyu complains to Vidyadhar that Arjun threatened to kill him if he doesn't sell the land, and Balaram threatened to kill him if he does sell, Vidyadhar will try to reassure everyone that neither of his brothers would threaten violence, but Nanda will instigate Shali to point out that Arjun broke Balaram's foot, beat up Bhaiyu, and poured gomūtra on Nanda's head. Arjun will abandon the pūjā, stand up, and tell everyone that Bhaiyu kidnapped Savi and planned to gang-rape her.

4. Pankaj will be caught eating naivedya before it reached Satya-Nārāyaṇa, and Mona will predict calamity, so all of the guests will leave without eating prasāda.

यः किल दाक्षं विद्रुतसोमं क्रतुवरम् अचमसम् अपगतकलशं

पातितयूपं क्षिप्तचषालं विचयनम् असमिधम् अपशुकम् अचरुम् ।

कार्मुकमुक्तेनाशु चकार व्यपगतसुरगणपितृगणम् इषुणा

नित्यम् असौ ते दैत्यगणारिः प्रदहतु मखम् इव रिपुगणम् अखिलम् ।।

Yaḥ kila Dākṣaṃ vidruta-somaṃ kratu-varam acamasam apagata-kalaśaṃ

Pātita-yūpaṃ kṣipta-caṣālaṃ vicayanam asamidham apaśukam acarum

Kārmuka-mukten'āśu cakāra vyapagata-sura-gaṇa-pitṛ-gaṇam iṣuṇā

Nityam asau te Daitya-gaṇ'āriḥ pradahatu makham iva ripu-gaṇam akhilam

He who caused Dakṣa's best ritual to have spilled soma, no spoon, missing pitcher

Fallen post, thrown post-ring, no bricks, no fuel, no beast, and no offering

By his bow-shot arrow, quickly making the ritual deserted by deity-group and ancestor-group

Always may he, Diti's group's enemy, totally incinerate your enemy-group like that
