Is It Wrong To Be Born Rich?

Lot of people in real life also attach this notion with rich people that 'rich' is synonymous for being 'spoilt', 'stubborn', 'brat', 'non-adjustable', 'non-flexible', 'proud', 'attitude', 'selfish', etc.

Does it mean rich people don't know how to behave? Certain things depicted in the seriel, like Suhana breaking plates, glass, vase, etc. when she is angry seems a bit larger than life as I don't think there will be many who would go to this extent when angry (though there might be some), as rich doesn't mean 'misbehaving'.

But I like the way this serial is treating the character of Suhana, who is supposed to be rich and spoiled but is not potrayed as 'heartless', but as sensitive. They are showing that just because she is a brat, that doesn't mean she has a bad heart or cannot understand people or situations, infact she is very innoncent and gullible from heart.

This topic is for a healthy discussion. You can also discuss similar personal situations, experiences and problems faced in this regard.

In general there are many positive things to learn from this serial, which is an "Ensemble Casting" -although the story is focused towards Suhana and Ishaan, but the side characters also have a story and an important role to play. From all these small eventful happenings of the 'side characters' - like the relationship between Ishaan's grandmother/ grand pa; grand pa/ great grand child; love/joy and understanding relationship between the members of a joined family ; understanding/challenging relationship between Ishaan's cousin sister and her in-laws; relationship between Suhaana and her modern girl friends; relationship between a widower father and his two loving daughters etc are events viewers can relate to their personal lifes and learn how to adjust, tolerate and try to see the positive side of a person - so that the person gains confidence, matures and is able to bloom under a healthy environment.

Although apparently Suhaana looks to be spoilt and tempered, but her upbringing has been good - she is honest, frank, respects elders , intelligent, and in her subconscious mind has great respect for a motherly figure and more. All these positiive attributes that Suhaana possesses will show gradually with the positive/ tolerant attitude of Ishaan and his family.

Simultaneosly, one can see how Suhaana's younger sister (from the same rich family) is so understanding and matured. Also the noble character of Ishaan's Aunty (who herself has gone through difficult times with her husband) is something to learn, and many more...

As the show proceeds Suhaana's married life will take a wonderful positive turn, and the audience will also enjoy watching how the beautiful 'Genda Phool' blooms and takes it's ultimate shape.

In short I am glad that Star Plus has taken the initiative to show the Hindi version of OBS/ SGP so that it is enjoyed and at the same time a learning experience for a wider audience of the Indian population. It is indeed a very well thought serial, and Mr Ravi Osha has covered many aspects of the comman people, without showing unnecessary twists and vengance and trying to stretch the serial (a very common factor in most of the present Hindi serials). We applaud and salute Mr Ravi Osha for creating such a brilliant serial, and wish for it's success.

there is nothing wrong in to be born rich or poor, because this is not in anyone's hands, its written up there, no one can control anyone's destiny. everyone gets what they truly deserve. some people are lucky to be born rich & some people have to work hard & become rich. but the only wrong this would be if rich people become arrogant & blind with money & start misusing there power, if you are rich then that person has more resposiblities towards the society, and should work for the betterment of others. everyone loves to be on the top but one shouldn't push others down & reach the heights of succes.

My response in red

Having seen SGP for sometime now, I would like to bring this topic for discussion - Is It Wrong To Be Born Rich? No. Not at all.

Lot of people in real life also attach this notion with rich people that 'rich' is synonymous for being 'spoilt', 'stubborn', 'brat', 'non-adjustable', 'non-flexible', 'proud', 'attitude', 'selfish', etc. Very true.

Is it totally justified? Maybe there are people who might behave like that, but just because some of them might be like that, is it necessary that everyone should be like that? It is not necessary that everyone will be like that. But there is no slack for rich girls.

Does it mean rich people don't know how to behave? Certain things depicted in the seriel, like Suhana breaking plates, glass, vase, etc. when she is angry seems a bit larger than life as I don't think there will be many who would go to this extent when angry (though there might be some), as rich doesn't mean 'misbehaving'. Actually I think that is a natural reaction when a person is very angry. 😊 May be they won't do it as often, but yes, they do it. 😆

The same is always depicted a lot in hindi movies and other tv seriels also. Rich people are mostly depicted as heartless, selfish & insensitive. I would want to categorize rich people into two groups.

1. Rich by birth and who become successful by means of hard-work and struggles.
2. Became rich in short span of time ( I'd rather not give any examples)

The first category people are humble, sensitive and sensible people. But what is portrayed in serials belong to the second category in the real world. Lot of times, creatives bring their own experiences to work 😆😆😆 For the first time I am seeing in the entertainment industry the actual portrayal of life in SGP.

Because of this notion, many people from rich families are not treated well and always misunderstood in several places, especially colleges where they are the favorite target for ragging. Yes, I did post on this in another forum how I was treated bad the very first opportunity people got, when I had to go to college being pregnant. My dad had to take special permission from the college Vice chancellor to keep my Chauffeur driven car on campus to drive me around to protect me from ragging.

Is this right? Everyone has their drawbacks and isnt it just normal if someone who has been brought up in a particular lifestyle and standard of living cannot adjust initially when moved to a totally different environment, and lifestyle? Its like if a typical middle class person, who has never been out of his/her city, suddenly has to go and live in US, wont he/she find it difficult to adjust there? So y is it a bigger deal if someone from a rich family cannot adapt themselves to a lower standard? It is only fair to give time to adapt but life is not always fair... so u take what it gives you, learn your lesson that lasts (positive) and move on. Can't dwell in the past.

But I like the way this serial is treating the character of Suhana, who is supposed to be rich and spoiled but is not potrayed as 'heartless', but as sensitive. They are showing that just because she is a brat, that doesn't mean she has a bad heart or cannot understand people or situations, infact she is very innoncent and gullible from heart. The creatives are doing a fabulous job with Suhana character... I am so connected with that character that I may go into depression if they ruin character and her relationship with Ishaan. My husband is even quieter than IShaan. I must say we have a great marriage.

She is also intelligent and mature enough to understand how to behave and talk when not in your own house (as she hasn't accepter her sasural). Till now she hasn't misbehaved with anyone in her sasural unnecessarily, except the servant. Bechari, kya karegi yaar... usse ithni pyaas lagi hogi... woh bhi do din se khana bhi nahi khayi Suhana ne... Ek glass thanda paani naseeb nahi hua yaar...😆😆😆 apna sar thod nahi sakthi na.. isliye glass thod di😆😆
