Why on Earth is Kulfi not being sent to school? The whole time she was with Sikander he did not think it important to enroll the child in school even though he professes great love for her. Now Tevar also is not enrolling her in school. Just a 5 minute ABCD song is not going to teach Kulfi English.
Moreover, one goes to school not just for learning English or any other language but for getting a well-rounded education in all bodies of knowledge --maths, history, geography, civics, etc., and also for learning social skills and group dynamics. Kulfi is missing all of this by just being kept at home. At least Tevar could be shown to engage a tutor for Kulfi who can ready her to go to school.
It is not really cute to show the child to be a village girl, who is ignorant of simple words. Further, Kulfi's English pronunciation comes across as a stereotypical rendition of how people from rural India supposedly speak. I think the CVs tend to forget that thanks to the presence of television, mobile phones, and internet, people in rural areas are quite savvy and do have knowledge of English words such as "thank you."
I would like to see Kulfi getting an education. For that matter I would also like to see Amyra going to school more often. She suddenly appears to hang around her Dadda 24/7.
