Hey guyzz, I'm new here and also to the show... my bad that Ozee isn't working today when I finally thought to give this show a shot but anyhow I'm watching whatever is available on yt

Can someone plzz tell me why are Naren's parents so desperate to change him!! Isn't this the same way of rejecting a child's choice of love marriage over an arranged one, chasing after one's own dreams rather than fulfilling parents wishes, choosing to live a life which is odd in this world... I feel these are the some routine parents who aren't able to accept that their son is different from a normal child but still is in peace with himself or whatever he does... he just isn't interested in any materialistic things and has attained wisdom way above his age. I don't find any wrong in Naren and I don't think I would want to change him if he isn't interested, we have to help a person who's in need and not a person who has chosen a different way of lifestyle for himself. This is slightly irrelevant but I'm giving it out as an example, once I read somewhere that LGBT people get fed up with their families so much as they treat them like they're with some disease and have to get cured either by medically or some other trash way when it isn't the case and they're actually no where either physically or mentally ill. I feel Naren's parents are in the same loop where they're trying to recover their son from that illness which he doesn't have.

Feel free to share your views...

Agree with you Amulya
Don't think there is anything we can define as " Normal ".The majority action or the majority attributes are actually construed as normal whereas I don't think just because a person belongs to a minority,it makes them any less normal.They have as much right to be different & live their life the way they want to.And so Naren is right in wanting to not change & lead a life of conformity

But still can't blame his parents cause all the parents of a kid ever want is for their child to be happy.Even if Harish would be willing to let Naren not work for his company & manage his business the way he wants Naren to,but Naren insisting on not wanting to marry & be a loner all his life is a decision which is not gonna go down well for most of the parents.Cause howsoever strong willed a person might be it's still difficult to live all by yourself.Somedays it's gonna be easy but then there are gonna be days when loneliness is gonna take it's toll.And Naren's parents with a lot more life experience sure have an idea about the difficulties awaiting Naren on the path he has chosen to tread

So I can't blame anyone.There is nothing wrong in the person Naren wants to be.Likewise Naren's parents too aren't wrong in wanting the best for their child

Yes, the choice followed by the majority is construed as the right choice for everyone... I've seen that Naren's grandfather was just like him then he's a great man who din't force his children to follow his path... instead with great wisdom he might've thought that each person has their own choices and they can naturally differ, Naren's parents simply led their whole life of their choice without much constraints, married the person they chose for themselves and now they again want everything to go their way in even their son's life...

I personally believe marriage isn't an option to avoid loneliness especially for a person like Naren as he can be very much lonely even in a marriage as his perspectives are different from a common person. He's already happy and in peace with himself which most of us search from outside sources like in a marriage. Several great people in the history whose souls and minds were occupied with something of greater value never considered marriage and they led their lives happily and successfully too. A simple solution to everything is "A person can be the most happy only when he follows his heart without any constraints"...

well said vanellope👏 .i am damn sure Amulya is yet to marry, she is looking from a student perspective, if she become a mother for sure there will be changes in her POV.

Naren's parents are of old traditions and they have multiple reasons which u mentioned above for forcing naren to change in their way.In reality now a days majority of parents are very open minded ( leave alone the few who are stick to their culture and tradition ) love marriages are not objected like in earlier days, girls are allow to study / work in the fields which were meant for boys earlier.forget about love marriage, girls and boys are openly live in relationship with the knowledge of their parents.poor parents may not even know the meaning of that, surrogating ( i know girls from decent family , some time from the same family do this), becoming father without marriage, becoming mother without or before marriage etc etc.i ,i have friends who became nun. these are happening in India now and parents are accepting even though they don't like it , and they are not forcing them to do what parents want.

Regarding LGBT ,i really feel sorry for them.i don't understand y they not accepted neither by parents nor the society. if the parents accept them for sure society will accept them too.

i have never seen a parent rejecting a physically challenging child , mentally ill, or a child with autism etc . in fact i have seen parents giving more care and attention to this type of child, then y not LGBT?😕

You're right that I'm not yet married but I do understand the love of a family, especially parents... as a matter of fact I've never went against my parents wishes throughout my life. I look out for their consent even before having a simple day-out with my girlfriends. I believe a parent-child relationship is based on trust-honesty. This post was just from Naren's perspective and I'm planning to write another one from a family's perspective.

Its not that all the parents are the same, there're parents who abandon their children when they're physically/mentally handicapped, maybe percentage is less but the fact is parents can't seem to accept the reality out of their imagination... you've mentioned about parents who give their children enough freedom to do whatever they wish but I doubt they accepted it wholeheartedly as these days youngsters have become so bold in expressing their desires and anyhow fulfilling them when parents are left with no other option than to heed to them. Naren is a pretty perfect example of today's stubborn child.

True Amulya,the ultimate thing is that a person gets to be happy.And if someone manages to do it,then nothing else matters

But then we have to understand Amulya,like someone mentioned in a reply to another post about Naren still being too young to decide such things.That he must have experience,that he needs to start behaving like other kids his own age & see for himself whether he likes it more.If he doesn't well he can always get back to being how he was.But if he does in fact like it more,being a " normal " kid that is,then imagine the error he was gonna make in choosing a life on the basis of an incomplete understanding of things & having to live with it's consequences for the rest of his life.
Naren is still confused,still looking for answers & he needs some guidance along the way to get to know things better & in the process get to know himself better.
Like for instance when he left for this padyatra after Bholu's death cause he couldn't bear to see a mother & her child separated,yet in choosing to abandon his mother,he was doing the same or at the farm in how Pooja makes him see how mere rituals mean nothing if you can't keep your family together or in how on the occasion of his granddad's death anniversary,he is made to understand,to celebrate the accomplishments,the life & teachings of the person you love & not rue everyday of your life you can't be with him/her

And that is what his parents have been talking about.Supriya while talking to Pooja about Naren in the initial episodes talks about how he never smiled,liked to play like other kids did.As much as a parent is accepting of how his/her kid turns out,yet this is something very hard for a parent to come to terms with.After all who wouldn't want their kid to smile & be happy.
And so Naren's parents feel he is too young & might not have a clear grasp of things,of life,of everything in general & so they bring in Pooja to help him gain some insight.And like I said before if he still doesn't feel it right,then it's all good.At least his parents tried.That way neither of the parties would have any regrets.
