Sorry this is wrong info and ridiculous thing I have ever heard of..
Lemme shae something with you...Know this Pakka Vaishnav Bania family who is Shrinathji devotee and folloing Pushtimarg...almost 80 yrs old woman who does not allow meat in her house as they are all complete vegetarian...
Guess what her daughter is down with stage 4 grade 4 colon cancer...Doctor has said nothing will help her...patient's diet includes feeding her clear chicken broth...Mother who is totally against her religion and belief is making chicken broth herself from can but doing it for her daughter...This is how it is..She gave up her lifelong belief for helping and feeding her sick may be dying daugher..



i never heard this kind of only 1 diet for cancer.there must be alternative diet in every treatment.

one time when i am very ill .doctor suggested me to eat egg.but i flatly refused and doctor suggested alternative veg food as diet.

i am also from brahmin community.we don't eat or cook garlic and onion in house.if any relative visits our house we will not serve these items.its tradition some people fallow.
and gandhi family fallows this tradition.why should not they fallow it??every family has right to religion which can not be questioned.its fundamental right of every indian citizen and family to fallow what they wish.

i think as a daughter hetal should know what tradition her parents fallowed all these years.why all of sudden they change tradition just hetal wanted to cook onions??

Hetal should be the last person on this earth making such a mistake in her maayka. she should have known the rules better than anyone else. Not just because she is married and return home she can do as she pleases without seeking permission from her elders. I guess that is why baa reacted in such a way because she did not expect that from Hetal.

Onions and Garlic are vegetables, elders should understand that a vegetable cannot pollute their religion..all this shows extreme narrow mindedness and waste of energy.

This energy the Gandhi family is wasting on keeping their kitchen pure, by banning certain vegetables and muslim master from entering their kitchen ( as long as the person washes their hands and wear clean clothes he or she is clean, regardless of their religion or class) because it will become unclean is using positive energy and turning it into negative. The kitchen will be more pure if it is used to feed homeless and honors all the vegetables equally.

The same Gujjus who immigrate to west buy their groceries at super markets selling meat eggs, onions, garlic etc..this is just phony religion..this is not spirituality.

If we carried all the traditions, widows would be a bad omen and shunned, treated worse than animals and certain human being like muslim tailor master are impure and will pollute the pure kitchen by just entering it or taking a glass of water..these kind of rituals and made to create divisions and are ground for extreme discriminations at all levels. It all starts with kitchen and imaginary impurities and is reflected in every aspect of society.. some think women are impure, non-Hindus are impure. All this is very convenient excuse to feel good and better than others by performing these rituals..to be really good in deeds is very hard..

Gujju family thinks they are pure because they don't eat certain vegetables used in preparing non-vegetarian food..

I am glad Hetal is challenging all this, good for her..

I know tons of brahims and even Jains (in India who eat non-veg secretly). I have Gujju Brahmin friends who eat non-veg at their homes, only an old mom is vegetarian but she has no objection eating the food cooked in the kitchen used for making non-veg food...all this is done in India because they can maintain their religious superority..in majority cases it vanishes ones India is left behind and nobody believes in superiority by caste.

Sauraj patient is on clear liquid diet and is being fed with tube..Its her last stage...It is not she is on chicken broth diet...Try understanding my point..I was just giving example..
I am from brahmin family married into Vaishnav Bania family..In both families we ate Onion-Garlic as vegetables...I know Jains dont consider them as Vegies b/c they are roots..
yes Hetal should have let them know she wants to cook with them and asked which stove and utensils she can use so she can keep it seperate from rest...Respecting Gandhi family's beliefs at the same time considering her husband's diet..
April it is not GUJJU family related...Most jains be it Gujju or not they all mostly follow this rule...So ple dont direct your words towards Gujaratis..Although I do agree with the points you are making 😊
I believe in "Jeevo jivasya jeevanam" 😳 I am vegetarian but do not have problems other eating what ever they want minusing red meat..

its not about if its right or wrong to eat or cook with onion or garlic. There are lots of religious groups that don't eat these things and put it at the same level as meat. I don' t know much about the religious belief behind this, but I do know that in hindu culture, foods are divided into three groups. And the group that onion and garlic fall in suppose to be avoided by people in the spiritual line. Reason being that it increases sensual thoughts, bad smell etc...so its a religious belief...its not just put there to just because. I agree it might seem like nothing to us, but for people that believe in it, its very important to follow it. I am a vegetarian, if someone came to my house and cooked meat in my kitchen, I don't know what I would do, I would be really mad. Same goes for people that follow the onion garlic rule. Also, Hetal was born and raised in that family, she knows how important that rule is, yet she dismissed the idea and continued to do as she pleased. For many the Kitchen is a place that is kept pure and basically worshiped. I don't allow shoes in the kitchen etc...just like that. The point here is to respect rules and traditions. As someone said that Bedi family allowed Hetal to wear a mangalsutra. Yes, but that isn't something "bad". In that case, Mona also changed her ways and became vegi/no onion/ no garlic. Even Hetal was told that she will have to become more interested in Punjabi religion when she put up Shrinathji in her room. Though it wasn't forced, but it was said. So point is, every household has rules and regulation, whether you believe in the or not, doesn't make them right or wrong. You should respect it especially when you don't live in that household anymore. I am sure Karan would have understood if Hetal made something without onion and garlic. Karan isn't stupid. He infact would have respected the tradition fair better then Hetal. Everything in life can't be as we see it. Everyone has different notions and beliefs. Learn to respect it.

I understand your point totally. I never understood the whole premise since the beginning of the serial when anu buy veg from a non veg restaurant for bapuji and Mona taking the food over from her maayka etc. What I have the problem with is that Hetal should know her family better. She grew up knowing the rules of that family and house and she did not challenge it all her life. why do it now when you are married? She made it look as if she gets overly big since she got married that she has no respect for her family and what they stand for. I certainly cannot stand for this. No one can come into my house and try to change what I do. Sorry, I am the boss in m y home, I make the decisions.

not only religion but even by principle i oppose killing animal for eating.
killing animal for our eating pleasure is most cruel thing in the world.

i hate those who support non veg food.😡
