Mummy,Mom, Baa, GK and Kanta Ben

The way in which the mothers are depicted is very interesting to analyse.

Anupama was raised with a lot of dos and donts and began to abide by it implicitly as a daughter and daughter in law. When she became a teen mom , she scripted her own style of raising kids. the challenges of a joint family came in and her influence as a mom was limited to only Samar. We saw him refuse an overseas offer so as not to be away from his family. he is willing to endure the tough reality of family to be with them. Paritosh on the other hand chooses material comfort over filial ties. It is obvious who are his influencers.

Rakhee Dave believes being a helicopter mom shaping everything the way she wants and growing sick and tired Kinjal moves away. Kinjal craves for acts of kindness and care. This she found in Anupama. When Rakhee loses control over Kinjal She then entices Paritosh who adheres blindly to her diktats.

Leela by endorsing everything her did even f he went against his sister and ethics is a typical example of moh blinded mother. her treatment of her children and grand children is a 101 on what not to do in raising kids.

The reason for this post is the way GK aka Mummy by Anuj is a potent influence on Anuj. Every time Anuj is enraged, the way he calms him down. The way they run the Kapadia house and the way Anuj offered to help Anupama with the sewing is a clear indication of GK's influence.

The way Samar thoughtfully watched Mr Shah and his replica, the way the parallels are drawn one is amazed at the way GK and Anuj's mom have raised an incredible human. Like GK told Leela Vanraj was proof of Leela the mother and Dolly and Anupama of Hasmukh's influence.

Kantaben is ready to move with times while Leela is stuck in a rut

Very aptly put moon. This really shows how your upbringing has been and who has shaped your values and thoughts!! At times a father is also a wonderful mother and GK has shown this beautifully!!
