Taking shit is not permissible be it elders ... be it boss... and be it Prime Minister... respecting elders doesn' t mean let them shit on ur head and then put shampoo... Arnav is also respectful but still he's protesting... well I'm not asking Khushi to retaliate in a bad way... but she shud have a firm body language which unfortunately she doesnt... Arnav, Buaji, Garima, Mami, Shyam... anybody has the permission to behave badly with her... this is not good upbringing.. this is lack of self-esteem...

Respect cannot be demanded but needs to be commanded... the elders should understand that...the world is changing... Respect the one who deserves...

My parents apart from respecting elders also taught me a few more things

• Respect urself then only people will respect u...
• Be respectful but be strong...
• And there is something called Democracy...

I guess I had a bad parenting...

No, it's not about bad parenting, I agree with your POV. But small town girls are brought up to not react let alone retaliate. So even that cannot be equated with being spineless or lack of self esteem. It is about finding a way to give a message without appearing rude
