Unfairness on the show

I caught up on all Maa Exchange episodes today and noticed a lot of unfairness for the smaller or non-celebrities when paired off with bigger celebrities.

Case of Pooja Bedi. I am surprised to read so many positive comments about Aliya. Her comment about "I thought a celebrity would come in the exchange" said it all - further, her playing loud music and not listening to Anu, along with the petty sick prank showed how snotty and rude Aliya is. Anu felt the sting of non-acceptance due to her class, and the maid's misbehavior did not help at all. The maid was ordering her around, and I would have gotten mad too with the complete lack of acceptance or even basic respect. Anu was passive-aggressive and became rude and overly-insistent which made her come across badly. She is also not used to cameras like Pooja Bedi, hence the latter came across better and more diplomatic. It was extremely unacceptable of Pooja to have fed the kid Yash stale roti and to have read Anu's diary. That was just completely unacceptable. She also brought the diary up on National TV along with Anu's thoughts. I found the entire episode edited heavily in favor of Pooja. As someone else said on the forum, she should not have bought crockery and home decor because that is very personal. Anu should not have said bad things about Pooja, but her flaw was that she was not as diplomatic as Pooja and definitely must have felt the "class-sting". It was obvious that the entire family looked down on her. Kabir's GF's attitude was just so negative, snobbish, and judgemental.

Second house of "normal" people. I thought there were pros and cons to both, so cannot say anything here. Sujata did come across as a big show-off. Her own daughter does not like to dance and she kept insisting that the other girl dance. She also should not have embarrassed the other girl in front of her friends, or keep putting her down on account of her weight.

Apara and Sudesh Berry. I loved Apara's family - they are so liberal and happy with themselves. I found Sarita's taking the phone and TV away from Apara's mother completely unnecessary. What is the old woman supposed to do at home if she cannot talk on the phone or watch TV? Sudesh Berry was wrong on so many counts but Apara had no right to bring up his personal life on TV, and she kept insisting and talking about it. The entire episode started with featuring Sudesh in a very negative light and was completely edited that way. Yes Sudesh's way of life is abnormal, and his family is dysfunctional, but to some extent it is also Sarita's fault because she does not stand up for herself. Sudesh's family had the typical joint-family structure and issues that I have seen in joint families with my relatives. His son needs to grow up and take responsibility instead of waiting for his father to help him out. It was very nice to see the son have so much faith in his mom. He just needs a little push and encouragement - Apara's pushing him made him change a bit.

I think one unfairness which I have notice is that, They always show that Middle class families are unclean like when Pooja went to Anuradha's house, they showed that the house is unclean and when Sujata went to Archana house, the situation was same!!! Anuradha and Archana both belongs to middle class family and they showed them Unclean!!!

I did feel that way too. Then i think.............if they've decided to go on T.V with their home and family..........be ready to be humiliated when the sada aloo is shown..........or a cockroach or a rat jumps up in the kitchen.

Guys, but the thing is that those houses indeed were very unclean. BUT what annoyed me was that the people who came from "better" families, were too fast to judge the other families. Like yeh theek nahi hai, vo theek nahi, humare ghar mein yeh behtar hai, vo behtar hai, yeh ganda vo ganda... like come on!
And it also annoyed me pretty bad that Pooja's daughter or children were mean to the Exchange Maa and the maid Anita annoyed me so bad, I absolutely HATE such maids who think they can order anyone around.
