Objection to the use of Harvard

Pranav is an alum from Harvard!? Please! It's nice that he's obedient and (no offense) dumb...it helps the character. But using Harvard's name just like that...for a emotionally weak character like that...it's a little funny.

He would have to be a blue blood if he was accepted without any merit at all and that is not to say that blue bloods are dumb, but they are automatically granted admission. I know it's a little thing, but I am sensitive about Harvard because I love the school and can't see it used just like that. Did the soap authorities take permission from Harvard? And Pranav doesn't even qualify for an emotional nerd, or geek either.

Who's Pranav? Is that the youngest son who still needs to be married? And when did they say that he went to Harvard? 😕

lolz. They just have to show that he is smart, and the boys from Mansook's family go to collages like Harvard. It has to look like 'inn ladko ki bhi koi issat hai.' The collage matches their status 😉

No offense, but it also takes merit to attend Harvard and Harvard students are not that dumb. The status thing, doesn't really match either. They could have used so many other names, or just could have said that he's educated from the U.S.

Pranav isn't dumb, now is he? 😆 😕 They just
used some random collage name, its fine. Its just a
show, they don't really need to take permission to use
the collages name in a show. I don't think that the
fact he is from Harvard is ever going to be mentioned again. 😃

I am sensitive about this issue though, I know it might not sound like a big deal to many. Naming Harvard in the media could even be copyright infringement if they did not take permission (it does happen often). Parav is dumb by this random college's criteria, trust me. I would advise that they try to polish up the character if they want to make if a Harvard alum. Plus, he is a little like his dad, and has backward thoughts, which a school like that would not support. There are many conservatives at Harvard, but not ones like Lal family.
