Sandhya told Ved every good thing about Suraj.. Ved is convinced that Sooraj is the best person/papa..
But still he is not willing to accept his father's profession.. Why?

Sandhya told Ved that Suraj is a Halwai.. So what.. He is the best person from the heart..
He helped his siblings.. He took care of house from the age of 14.. He helped her in becoming IPS..

But did she tell that Halwai job is not bad.. She was agreeing that having Halwai profession is not good.. How could ved have understood that nothing is wrong in being Halwai..

That is the reason he is not willing to reveal his father's profession.. 😭

Sandhya should have explained why being Halwai is not bad.. How important role a halwai plays in other's life.. 😳

I felt the same too Anjana. She showed empathy which is not bad but that convinced him to love his dad despite him being a halwai. That was Sandhya too. She accepted him for his other qualities. Instead, she could have explained more about the situation at home when he was 14 and how he embraced his father's profession with pride. Worked hard to become the best In his profession. How his job is what provides mainly for the family. ( Although Sandy's job is extremely important public service, salary wise, it is modest. ) Sandhya's heart was in the right place and she did highlight Suraj's good qualities which are important for Ved to know and emulate too. So in that way, she did help. The kids often take their parents for granted and not realize the sacrifices they make. I want Suraj to do the same & make Ved realize Sandy's patriotism, bravery, sacrifice and honesty. Ved should come closer to his mom too. Suraj is a bit possessive of Ved like BB is of him. I guess that is because he has been mom and dad both to him.

Yes Anjana, even I felt the same. What ever she told him about Suraj and his scarifies, his passion, her supporting nature every thing was true and needed to tell. At the same time she also told him about how even she felt that a halwai's job was low but later realized how good he was. In all this she left out the fact that she had to tell him Halwai job was not low but like any other profession. In a single day Ved learnt 2 things.
1. Even his mother felt Halwai job is low profile one
2. It is not bad if you lie for a good reason.

So when he had to deliver his essay about his father, he used both the things that he felt halwai is low, so he told the lie that he owns a big hotel (to save himself from the embarrassing situation) but had he told the hotel name as "Rati Mistan bhandar" at least it would have saved him from being embarrassed later.

So true Jaya!
He learnt two things which will not help him in future, and which already made him ease to lie
Anjana, very good post!!
Everything Sandhya said was much needed, but again she could have elaborate and explain to the child to understand that Halwai job is just like other professions!!

Hmm you are correct Anjana. But I felt Sandhya was more worried about Ved distancing himself from Suraj because of halwai profession when he told what his schoolmates said "halwai stinks, their clothes will be dirty" etc. So, she told what all we heard along with a line "no profession will be small or big". As of now she is thinking Ved is back to normal and is fine with halwai profession. She is yet to know he is running away in the fear of getting insulted and started lieing about his fathers profession.

I think whatever Sandy said about Suraj was very complete, not only about his profession but about his nature too.
This is the reality of society, how many people will actually respect such profession in high class?
Im not saying being a halwai is bad, in suraj's case also, he is respected in Pushkar and as Sandy said he is an inspiration for halwai's too...but in an enviornment like Vedh's school no one would respect this profession.

Sandy meant that a person should not only be judged by his ./her profession n said koi kaam bada ya chota nahi hota..It all depends on how efficiently you do it.. and Suraj does it with full passion and hard work which is the reason all halwais look up to him.. n also said how can a farmer wear suits n do his work , same goes for halwai ..She also said it does not mean that the people who make fun of u are always right ..( so this is where she defended his profession as well ) ..

International School is a Place Where kids are too Smart and think of out of bounds creatively
Halwayi is too funny and Silly in that Place
Ved should have tried some Prince or King of Some Palace to the least.

I don't agree to this..
Why being halwai should be funny.. This is the thinking we should take out from our minds.. No profession is funny/great.. All are great at their place.. No one should feel bad about their profession..
Just to make other happy, why one should hide himself, what he is and what he want to be..

I loved Ved chose Halwai.. But he is a child and will be easily effected.. Children should be taught/learn at this age only.. Otherwise Ved after being adult will feel the same about being halwai and hate his father and all other halwai's or people in similar profession..
