I feel I know this family so well. Gyan was the most beloved character ever on this show and they didn't even spare him and made him a total villain for nothing...this makes me sad :( I understand teenage kids are vulnerable to greed for fancy stuff and getting into bad habits due to peer pressure but Gyan was not that kind of kid from any angle. He has been shown to be so mature at such trying and critical times in the family that it was really hard for me to accept him in this negative role.
Tej has been to college and even had a girlfriend during college time. That is the time when one get influenced by their friends and get into dirty habits but he came out strong and very principled. His Pashu bhaiya was even stricter at that time but I am sure he never allowed his friends to speak anything against him or anyone else in the family. Now just for the heck of making a stupid track, they spoiled his character as well. I don't believe that he didn't know that he is being served alcohol in that drink.
And finally what a crappy way to culminate this track. Very very uncreative episode today. Nitika got to hear bad from Gyan and Tej, Malti got to hear bad from Pitaji (even if it was in natak) and finally who gets the credit for all this...is Toasty. This is probably the first time when I didn't like Toasty getting praise for making things right and smiling in glory of her victory.
Sorry I am really disappointed and so the rant. I feel even the restaurant bill is fake, probably Toasty asked Tej's friend to get a fake bill and do the act.
Very well put, Didi (do you mind if I call you Didi? 😊)
I can understand Gyaan being influenced more than Tej but like you said, Gyaan has always shown maturity and he's always been one of the most honest characters ever since the beginning of the show...even Tej used to say that he is Ma's shadow.
And exactly as you said...Tej has already gone through the periods of his life when he could be most influenced. If all of a sudden he starts agreeing with his friends about Pashu bhaiyya not letting him grow up...isn't school or college the more appropriate times for such thoughts to be placed in the mind. It just doesn't make sense for that whole scene to have occurred at all :/ And Tej would have known/recognized the taste :/...remember when Toasty was trying to indirectly ask him about Pashu's "raaz" right after they got engaged and Tej thought she was asking about something in his life that he hasn't told her yet and he admitted that once he had quietly tried alcohol. Even I've never touched alcohol before but if I'm put in that setting, I could easily be able to tell that there's alcohol in my drink and I'm sure anyone could...that's not convincing at all.
I agree with the Toasty bit too. Seriously, they really could have made this lottery plot a little more positive since I feel like the C parivaar was mature enough and samajdaar enough to be able to handle it but the CVs completely changed their characters to show situations that could have happened in any other family whose members may not be as closely knit and samajdaar. :/
