One thing Kavya was right about

That it's so freaking weird that Anuj has made Anu his partner & the head of the project when she no experience whatsoever. Her being hired as a consultant would have made so much more sense.

Anu's pitch was targeted at a certain demographic. The one that is so deprived for familial touch that they will pay a 5-star hotel for it. Kavya's idea made sense based on that. WTF was that lecture about half of India still using older phones? It's true but they aren't the target clientele. Was that a business decision or feel-good BS?

Everything gets twisted & turned to make Anu's sentimental life approach seem supereme & everyone else useless. Like her 'genius' idea of portion & price controlling the cafe's menu. Her creating the fusion menu was logical and enough to prove the point. As a working professional, I hope the writers either stop showing us the inner workings of these businesses, stop selling it on realism, or stop thinking the audience is dumb. The writing right now is so lopsided.

I disagree with u here a little. Anuj didn't reject Kavya online promotion idea , he only said to include Anupama offline idea also. Both online and offline promotion can go side by side . SO don't blame Anuj for that.

Its Kavya who forgot how to behave in office , which sensible MBA graduate behaves like this😡😡She crossed all limits of decency today. Her words🤬Disgusting . She just barged into Anuj office without knocking utter indecency. How can u justify her i am shockedShe badmouthed her boss and superboss , wo to Anuj hai jo phir bhi chup reh gaya koi aur hota to .

As much as I LOVE that Anuj and Anu have scenes outside of a domestic setting, I agree that Anuj hiring her as the project head and partner doesn’t make sense at all. The sad truth of the world is that english and a college degree are prerequisites for such a position. Anu is working on laptops and jotting down notes, but she can’t form sentences in English, this just doesn’t add up.

Don’t you all think Anu should’ve gone back to college first? Or at least they could’ve had a track in which Kinjal, Samar, Nandini teach her? I’m not complaining too much, because I’m all for her having a career, I just feel the progression could’ve been more natural. For a show that thrives on how realistic it is, it seemed like they missed an entire character development arc.

If the CVS wanted to show this sudden success, either they should’ve shown her doing more on-ground stuff, which is definitely her forté, or like you said that she could’ve been a marketing consultant, because she has that knack apparently.

offline promotions cost more and don't have the kind of reach online promotion does thereby making the cost to benefit ratio over one given that the target audience is actually the working class young people who are longing for a familial touch when visiting a hotel. If Anuj is willing to burn more money that's a different story. By the way had Kinjal made the same presentation before Anuj then it would have been approved in a go. The point is he wasn't really being objective just because Kavya was the one who made the presentation.

Agree with u

Kavya ne theek se anuj ki baat nahin suni . Anuj ne cleary bola ki woh anupama aur kavya dono ko idea include karega. Anuj ne anupama aur kavya mein se kisi bhi idea ko kharab nahi bataaya

But madam kavya pata nahin kaun se duniya mein khoyi rehti hai aur jabardasti tamasha khada kiya

Anuj was very balance today while dealing with idea of anupama and kavya ideas

firstly pehla job kisiko experiece se nahi milta work karne se hi experiece aata hain

secondly its idea who have given her this position regarding investments he is very well know ki he has to invest on everyones training

online main hum log jaise honge lekin yeh project and the restaurant idea is for ladies who cook at home for them ek anupama nahi woh bahut logon ko lene wala hain

the lady runs whole house dance academy teach in school manage so many things still people think she has no experiece its strange just because she dont have degree and dont get money for work pls remeber if lady can handel home she can handel anything if given chance anuj has taken risk business main risk lete hain flop or hot it depends

anupama was decent enough to tell her sorry also what she did i am not denying online marketing is trend now a days bt hoarding and print outs are equally important being in marketing area with experience i am telling everything is important both goes hand in hand not online and anupama told same thing kavya taken it to her ego its her problem which educated lady will shout and tell all this about his boss and loose her job who is desperate to get it

anuj ya he respects women and made it clear agar woh bhi uski tarah jaghda aur tanne dene laga to dono main pharak nahi rahega

reputation kavya aur vanraj jaiso ki nahi hoti and they waste there takent because of there ego and this they are only something other are loosers

Watch the episode again. Kavya suggested to focus more on online than offline, not exclude print all together. But Anupamaa suggested that both need to be kept in equal focus. That makes no sense.

The whole Kavya loosing her shit on her first day of work still surprises me ... I expected her to last a bit longer. I'm also kind of confused as to why it needed to be scripted this way.

When she entered his door without knocking, she did it because she has a sense of entitlement. Kavya is prone to making relationships and situations seem more comfy than they truly are. Anuj having experienced this (her standing close, her nicknaming him, trying to take selfies with him), honestly did the right thing by setting a boundary from the first incident. Issue here is that he may not have had to take this step with another employee.

Then there was her enthusiasm to share her presentation .. it stemmed from her excitement to be working but also rooted in her desire to be a singular focus and admired. She probably became more internally preoccupied with her "lower status" with the amount of time she had to wait. We only caught a glimpse at the end where she seemed passive aggressive towards Anu & MaAn as an entity. There were rolled eyes, nonreceptive body language and storming out the door the moment she was dismissed. I'm not sure how professional she was throughout her PowerPoint. Sometimes the best ideas are laid to waste by poor execution.

While Anuj and Anu need to both provide input for the project - it felt like Anuj didn't think Kavya would feel hypersensitive about Anu's feedback despite the closed-off body language. Maybe he knew it was Kavya's first day and it would a moment for the wrinkles to smooth out. It also seemed, when he asked Kavya to stay seated, as if this was his way of helping Anu introduce a new dynamic and boundary with Kavya. Unfortunately, it was too much for Kavya.

I've seen peers loose their opportunities because of their ego ... while I wanted to appreciate Kavya for wanting and maintaining a job .. it seems she's just lost the ability to deal. Her mental state began a steady decline from the moment V stood her up at the mandap (when the Shahs were celebrating Anu & V's marriage anniversary). It's honestly a shame.

As for Anupama, I liked when Kinjal and Nandini were helping her with all the technology and trying to help her become more competitive in the world. Hopefully, they incorporate a track where Anu goes to training classes 2 days out of the week or something. Or even a nightly community class once a week.

Yes, thank you! First handing out partnerships over a mere idea & now supporting Anupamaa's bad ideas. Anuj is practically blowing money to please Anupamaa at this point. Any viewer with some work ex can tell that.

I hope the writers stop half-@ssing Anupamaa's genius ideas if they are so insistent on showing her business.

They clearly put right from the beginning of the project that he is doing this for helpless middle class women who wanta to create their own identity. This sole project alone with anupamaa as face of the project is for upliftment of such womenin distress. They did mention this particular restaurant of them having desi ghar ka khana menu.

He has other projects along with this project so it's not like bcoz of anupamaa his entire business pattern is changing.

Never once in the scene anupamaa degraded Kavya's online promotion idea . She just politey put her pov of print media idea and anuj asked kavya to incorporate it along with her online promotion idea. Nowhere they both dismissed so called MBA graduate kavya's idea.

And what anupamaa said abt not many knowing how to handle smartphone was 100% truth. I personally know even many middle aged educated PhD holders who struggle with smartphones and use it only for the purpose of speaking and listening to music.

I am sorry but i cannot accept that kavya said even one thing right bcoz all she did was behave like a dumbest woman forgetting professional ethics.
