This is a Shubhu appreciation post. We all know that Like the CVs ka continuity brain Shubhu is largely absent. It’s almost like Vedu ka nahi, Shubhu ka Juhu mein Bungalow hai and that’s where he lives. But when he comes, he’s so helpful. I’d like to enumerate why and with this little post, increase the love for Shubhu.
- Shubhu loves his sister. There is no doubt that he adores Shivi and is constantly looking out for her well-being. Tbf Akki doesn’t really scream stable husbaaand especially since Shivi for all intents and purposes has only been shown as nice but materialistic. Shubhu looks out for that side
- Shubhu respects his Ram bhai so much that he doesn’t even dare look at him eye to eye. This is why he always wears sun glasses at home. Jurrrrat nahi hai, bhai ki disrespect karne ki. And when he does look him in the eye, he gets sunaoed (case in point yest). Basically combination of following 1 and rejecting 2 mein bamboo lag gayi! He must know 2>1
- Coming to that, we know maths weak hai. I personally thinks he lives in the world of negative numbers and therefore 5>95, 1>2. Kyunki uski duniya ka yeh hi sach hai.
- Shubhu is often the pulse of the audience. I mean don’t we groan when they start with all the mythological connections? Shubhu does that for us on screen.
- Shubhu is the only useful one when his bhai and bhabi take turns to faint, bleed, die, come back from death. You can always see the worry on his face and he is the first to call the doctor. You cannot blame him for rolling his eyes when the doctor says ridiculous things like inka allergy aap se serious hai without running any tests. Shubhu knows doctor uncle only wants uss day ka fees.
- Shubhu looks out for his Ram bhai’s grahasti. He even goes as far as to flirt with Vedu, Sid, Shashi etc etc. so they all don’t trouble his Ram bhai’s slow burn Louve. Shubhu is besht.
- Shubhu is also the only one that knows his bhai loves it when his bhabhi screams at bhai. Can you really fault him for therefore creating scenarios where his bhabhi has to yell? I think not. Refer to point 5 agar iss point pe koi confusion hai toh.
Shubhu will apologise a 1000 times over for his Ram Bhai and won’t bat an eyelid. Dil gold ka hai bachhe ka. Shubhu is the dark knight, cos you either die a hero (which Papa Kapoor has already done) or live long enough to be the villain. But villain hi sahi, if it’s for his Ram Bhai.
I rest my case.
