I can relate to you so much. I'm Bengali and over here too, women don't get married that early. In fact all my cousins got married close to 30 years. Some of them are 30+ and haven't married yet. My sister is 28 - no discussion of marriage yet. I'm 23 and still studying and I'm the youngest from my dad's side. I don't think my khandan will even bother to look for a match for me by the time they are done with all my cousins and my sister. They'll get tired lol...

I think marriage culture depends on community and region a lot.

@bold agree with you 100%. Love is too insufficient a reason for a woman to be taking such a big risk. Before getting married, every woman should have a safety net that she can fall back on should things turn ugly... And maayke wale are not a very reliable safety net.

Very region to region. my parents and I also live in the US so the societal pressure is not in our faces. My sis is also 30+ and even though my parents worry, they’re never going to push her into marriage!

It’s so funny but Bengalis and Malayalees have a weird connect culturally.,..even though we have such distance geographically.

He’s been trained to be a good listener! Next Anokhi will train that gussa out of him too!

Directly related to history of the subcontinent. It's something that I learnt in economics. Amartya Sen's Capability Approach.

This show is like a thepla for me.. You might like your pizzas and sushis but you do crave for your good Indian meal.. 🤣

I think yeah, the race factor and also the fact that I have grown up watching Bollywood and ITV..

So on point.🤣🤣

Absolutely relatable.

Tbh guys, Anokhi is a very different character. We cannot compare her to our lives. I mean the girl has no support. Even financially. Her sister was ready to sell her gold. But what after that?

She literally didn't have a place to stay and she couldn't afford half of the things. She's 20 but her struggles are very different from 'normal'.

Her personality also makes her a trouble magnet. Her ziddi nature does attract problems for her, cause she's ziddi everywhere and in general.

But she's actually got no support other than Astha. I mean she has Babli, but Babli can never help her get out of any problem in life. Astha too can help only till a certain extent.

If Anokhi falls in love with a guy her age, idk, if they would be able to help her the way Shaurya can.

It might not sound good, but if u all think logically, Anokhi gets a really good safety net with Shaurya. Since he's older, he can literally explain her when she goes overboard and illogical with her zidd and he can definitely be the support she needs in life. Cause lets accept it, everyone needs support. We all have a strong one, in form of our parents, Anokhi dosen't even have that. And the girl's fight is long. I mean she's gonna encounter ppl who will take advantage of her or will exploit her. The fact that she dosen't realise that not all ppl are going to listen ti her and change is itself an indication of her nature. This is where Shauyra comes into picture. Again, his age helps him to gauge ppl better at times (when he's neutral and not emo) . He does give her right advices in life.
