Do you approve of a jobless man?

The thought that I don't have a job and my wife is the one wearing pants in the household should be enough for a guy to start looking a job, is it not?😕😆 What amazes me is the whole family seems okay with it, at least Badi ma can persuade him and make him see that a job is so important to maintain his self-respect.

I never liked how Elesh's brothers teased him all the time about how lazy he is and that he is not suitable for a big responsibility but what astounds me is the guy never takes the hint. I really feel bad for Disha; if it were any other soap and not SGP then she would have filed a divorce against him.

So my question is, how long should one put up with a jobless man? and do you approve of a jobless man like Elesh?

Haha, you know what, I was just about to make a topic on this topic ' Elesh & his laziness to work. Ur right about Elesh. Infact even though maybe his personality and nature is cute and all that, but somehow this guy used to irritate me since beginning, the way he used to always run away from taking responsibilities. He just wants to joke around, eat, sleep and basically enjoy life. Everyone would love to do that, no one wants to get up early in the morning and go for work. But everyone is doing that, not out of will but because they are aware they have some responsibilities, especially being a man. But poor Disha has so much of pressure to save money and not buy sarees and other stuff just because her husband is not working. And even though she is working, being a school teacher does not fetch too much salary.

To be frank, I dint even feel a bit sympathetic towards him when during Suhana's 'moo dikhayi' everyone were giving her gifts and when Elesh's turn came, he looked down embarrassed and sad that he dint have any gift. But others felt mercy on him and gave their gift to him. Ok if he had some disability due to which he is forced to sit at home, we can empathise and feel sorry for him. But laziness doesn't have an excuse, especially when he is a part of a 'middle-class' family. Ok if his father was so rich that he dint have to work at all, it's a different issue. But here that's not the case. The family needs money. Seriously, as you said, doesn't this guy have any shame? Cant he take hints or even understand his wife's pressures to run their family? Most people are lazy, but not to this extent that u forget what your main responsibility is even.

This guy really needs tough lessons to straighten him up. Everyone making him understand sweetly is not working. Now only something drastic might make him change his attitude.

Elesh is only the odd character whom i have not understood in SGP till now...He is shown to avoiding the interviews and his cool easy-going lifestyle is really making me feel ....what's wrong with this character? I mean it is understood the family members are not making him feel out of place for his jobless status and his wife Disha too has been so very understanding in this matter though i feel she will be a much happier wife with him contributing towards their family. Why is he portrayed so lazy is yet a question-mark for me..... though i had a vision of a movie of Anil Kapoor 'Saaheb' where he is an easy-going chap not taking up job just for his addiction to football matches, listening to all the taunts of his father and one day proving it to the family his caring and responsible side when he even donates one of his kidneys for his mother and sacrificing the very desire of him being a football player.... So i kinda have a feeling Elesh may be the dark horse of the family who never has been responsible but will make a mark in responsibility like none has done before when the time comes.....😊

Ur right, Elesh is the only person in the entire seriel who hasnt been justified as yet. Rest everyone has been properly justified, including Suhana. But as you said, maybe he might turn out to be the dark horse of the family who might end up doing something which no one might even imagine of doing! Or maybe the creatives are planning an exclusive track for Elesh relating to his job and laziness issue, whereby something might happen and his attitude might change completely and you never know, he might become the most successful member of the family in the long run 😉!

Btw, I remember the movie Sahib of Anil Kapoor, do you remember this song from the movie, 'yaar bina chain kahaan re...' ? For me, that used to be one of the most funnily picturised songs with real wierd steps 😆!

LOL.... Appu.... those steps used to be so hilarious....... If i talk more on that.....am sure..... ambrosia will kick me out of this thread........ but believe me i love and miss all those funny-n-weird dance seq. especially of jeetu(white shirt-white pant) and dancing on the beaches with the pots for deco..... ............

Reg. Elesh, i felt this as he is the only one shown to laze around without reason.....so possibly he will be good in the long run....😃
