Stereotyping 'Wrong company'

Hi all,

I don't think the show is trying to say that Shefali is spoiling Naina. In fact, Shefali is supposed to be a strong and positive character. The VO has mentioned that for a 90s girl, she has a lot of fire and courage in her. Shefali represents those few people of every generation who dare to be different without worrying about an outsider's opinion.

Here comes your first hot-topic!! It's quite interesting😊

I believe a strong and outgoing friend can only help us become stronger ourselves.

Shefali has so far only given Naina some practical advice ( like when she asked her to find out if Sameer has any feelings for her before deciding to not go to that boarding school) and allowed Naina to use her as a sounding board.

Having said that, I have so far not understood why she is not out there getting an education.. her mother is a manager with Air India so obviously the importance of being educated and financially independent has to be a priority in that household. Nor have they implied at any point that she is older to Arjun by s few years and hence has already completed her graduation. She wants to become a sportsperson but has not been shown to be actually involved in any sport other than the recently started coaching with Arjun.
I don't think the CWs have handled that part of the story well..

Nice topic👏

I used to be a Shefali 😆 Some of my extended family always thought I was a bad girl because of the "western " clothes I used to wear 😕 . Never did anything asanskari though !

It's interesting how Shefali and naina are totally contrasting characters in terms of clothes etc. Naina is having a fling / love affair secretly while Shefali is more open about it. In the end both are behaving like normal teenagers , discovering love and there is a lot in common between the two. No wonder Shefali is the only one that naina can confide in ( besides swati)
Naina would have gone ahead with sameer even if shefali hadn't suggested, but she will still get blamed for being bad company when the family finds out .
Tayiji indulges in more immoral behavior than Shefali, reading chachiji's private letters, being nosy, hypercritical , lying, bullying and everything else. But no, Shefali is the bad girl only because she wears "nickers
