Where is the much needed humanity ? *Take on Epi 2* - Page 2

And his mother? looks like she also was more than willing to toe the line, while Neha's family was all hands folded. Totally unnecessary. At least this time they should stand up for their daughter.

But then, this is the culture of UP (the family is from Agra, right?) The elders of family are conditioned to behave as they wish and the young generation will just listen with bowed head.

Like you guys already pointed out, the second episode was such a drastic change from the first. It introduced some more characters - of grey and black shades - and set the stage for the rest of the drama.

Yes,as you said it had a more serious tone unlike the first episode..

People like Aman's Dadi do exist today too, sadly. People who perch on a higher moral ground and take great pleasure in ripping others to shreds. Why? Cuz they have always been that way. If you noticed, Aman's Dadi wasn't just mean to Neha. She was downright rude to Neha's family, her own family and in the entire time she was on the screen didn't once say something nice. She is just one of those women with an acid tongue. And that's that.

I agree ,sadly. But my pet peeve is why won't anyone say something against them,not rudely but at least someone can explain to them right ? Is it because of the age difference ?

However, I don't agree with the general consensus that Aman's mom is rude. I think she is a disciplined, astute woman. Did anyone notice the way she said 'agar isse kuch ho jaata toh?'. She knows and understands Neha's condition. She also knows how Neha's family must feel (knows they would be over-indulgent and rightfully so) and moreover she knows her own mother-in-law. Rather than flaming the fire and instigating it on, she took the approach of a strict guardian. She has Neha's wellbeing at heart, I feel. Someone needs to point out the facts as they stand in a calmer way. She is removed enough from the family to do so and yet close enough to be allowed to. Notice also the way she defused the situation by sending her children away to eat, away from Dadi and her negativity without getting a raise from her.

Okay I just saw that part of the episode again and I think you're right about Aman's mom. I was so furious at Dadi's rude words that somehow I felt that Aman's mother was wrong too. But after reading what you said,she is indeed supportive of Neha and does things her own way without adding fuel to the fire.. Hmm..

As for the way Neha's family reacted, I agree with Samridhi. I think it was fitting. Yes they're daughter just woke up from coma and yes the way that lady spoke was completely uncalled for BUT, and that's a major but, they have been family friends are years and neighbours too. Their daughter is going to be wedded into this house. There are some customs and codes of ethics that come with that kinda familiarity. Also yes while Neha with her 14-year-old mind is not at fault, the parents do realise that their 26-year-old daughter ended up at someone's house unannounced. If they had spoken up for Neha, I would have gone into a shock, because it is Neha who woke up from a coma, not her parents and family who have been a part of the adult world all along. It would have been too much had they just trampled the conventions so soon!

But see that is the thing. Their second daughter who is as close as to their heart as Neha is, is about to be married into that household. Wont their confidence be shaken when they see such an important member in the groom's family talk so callously to Neha,without even considering her feelings ? What confidence will they have that Akku will be treated well too ? And why is it that just because the girl is going to be married,her parents have to act extra careful and walk on egg shells ? If someone says something wrong,they needn't argue back but should they not have said something at least in support of Neha especially after seeing how hurt she was ?

This whole episode also shed light on Aman. In fact, it would was a huge insight into why he is the way he is. Did anyone else notice how mercilessly Dadi shot down Aman down every single time he spoke and didn't agree with her? In fact, everyone who didnt bid to her opinions or offer her the services she demanded or hell was even late in doing so, got the bitter end of her tongue. In an environment like that, how else would you expect anyone to have a spine of their own unless they were willing to take on a storm head-on? And as the sole 'man of the house', I can completely understand why Aman would definitely NOT be the one rebelling against it all in a major one anytime soon.

I agree with you here..

Wow! That was long. Just my thoughts on this epi. Neha as always was spot-on with her wonder, innocence and awe. Loved that she didn't let that negativity harbour. And a shout-out to Neha's Dadi for her amazing insight and Akku for doing the right thing even when it stung.

Loved reading your take! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! 😊 You mirrored my thoughts regarding Neha and the lovely scene between her and Dida.

Hope the show continues to entertain!

Hoping for the same!

In terms of emotions, today's episode was completely the opposite. From being adorable & cute yesterday, it was serious stuff today.

Dadi's views/taunts etc only reinforced how people are conditioned from cradle to death. As a child, you can be forgiven for asking questions but once you become an adult, those questions start to hurt. Why? Who decides? What does behaving like one's age really mean? That is the essence of the show. Neha's innocence & the concept that there is no age for anything. Life is about moments & it needs to be lived to the fullest.

Many people might say that being brunt like Neha would hurt others, but then if you look at it, was Neha rude at all? No, she wasn't. At the start, many people might be irritated, but I think at the end of the day, the innocence that Neha has is something people really appreciate.

Absolutely loved the episode in terms of content.

I understand your disappointment on Neha's family not speaking up for her. But that's the very point, isn't it. They've all grown up so they care about manners & not being rude etc but all that is going to change when Neha teaches them how to live again. That speaking your heart out is not rude. It is bliss because not only do you clear yourself of negative emotions, but you also influence & encourage the other to be honest.

In terms of characters, would like to mention Aman. He's probably grown up way ahead of his time & Neha is exactly what he needs to brighten up his life under the reign of Hitler Dadi:)

This show is truly something that we should learn from. Learning to live life in the moment & letting go of things. Moving on & being happy.
