1. he is the only earning member in the family - kunal n siddhi lives in their own world of principles, cat fights and romance ... ghar chalana ki responsibility kunal ne toh kabhi li hi nahi ...infact usne sabse jyada kharcha kara hai n his principles has costed the chopras big time losses
2. now siddhi madame is preggy n she cant work ... her husband is not reliable to do any job ... kisi din gussa aa gaya toh ghar beth jayega
3. upar se seema , as a wife , really pays no attention to him ... i like her character as a caring person but she really has no time to ask her husband , how was his day ? wat bothers him? ... she can read moods of sinal but cant understand her own husband, infact she has no time for him
4. overall , sab log gaurav par chilate rehte hain , everytime he opens his mouth , sab log usko daant dete hain
so i kind of understand his frustration but ofcourse do not approve of his EMA...
I hate the EMA too, but I agree whole-heartedly with your points.
Gaurav feels sibling rivalry and that CAN be very very painful. If he is trying so hard to get his own share of attention by being responsible and diligent and hard-working and he still doesn't get it - from either his parents or his wife - he is bound to feel a little lost and angry and very very frustrated.
I know Raj has a lot to deal with. Veena not being well, and the loss of a son so recently and another one going thru so many upheavels and a new DIL in the house...Raj does the best he can with as much patience and tolerance and humor as is possible - but he too is human. A parent can get a little preoccupied with the kid that is not yet doing well and ignore the kid who seems to be doing fine. And as logical as it seems - eventually I have realized that in front of our parents - we stay kids. 😉
No matter what age we are or how high we rise or how old our own kids get - from our parents we expect the same unbaised, abundant amount of love and a big pat on the back for being good 😆
I too have been feeling that Gaurav for quite sometime has been screaming for attention and the two people who are handing all of Veena's job and their own - are just too over stretched to also attend to him. Raj and Seema are doing the entire work. Kunal was always a loner with his own brand of sarcasm and derision for the world. Siddhi too - seems to talk more to herself than to anybody else. She HAS taken up a HUGE share of Seema's time this past year. In fact Seems has not even given her own kids as much time as kids deserve at this age. Just feeding them, sending them to school on time and making sure their homework is done is not enough.
Hope they show Raj and Seema realize this and pay some more attention to Gaurav too.
Every family has some kid who ends up with the major part of parents' attention at times - and Kunal is guilty of the same. Now that his own life is ontrack - Kunal shud be the grown-up and take care of the finances, put his head into his work and focus on providing for the family for some time. Let Seema and Gaurav get some time alone as a couple too. Siddhi too has to pitch in. Now that her realtionship is on an even keel - she has to free up Seems for her hubby n kids. and live her own personal life.
Seems shud find time to be a wife too. Her being a DIL and a bhabhi is taking up too much of her time from her mother n wife roles.
