and sanjana is a very balanced person..lot more mature and sensible..so tht also shows tht its the individual's choice of how to live..

i don't believe its wrong to be rich...it may be bad for some(those whose parents don't have time for them) but its never the childs fault.

The thing required is that the family takes care that the child never gets any undue advantage...he/she should be treated as an equal in schools and parents should make sure that they punish the child if they do something wrong...if thats happenning i don't see anything wrong in being rich...

Being raised by a single parent may make one a bit spoiled as the child is pampered a lot but still the child will not necessarily be rude to others...

@Sanayaa,vishmewell-guys your convos are damn funny...

sanayaa-u sure are quite pampered by your dad...even i am and believe me iy feels wonderful when your dad fulfills your wishes...

as i have shared before, i am a lot like Suhaana..i get angry easily and when i am angry i throw quite a lot of stuff around..broken many things😆

I agree some shows and movies are like this with rich people. Sgp however is not in that shuana breaks things and tantrums because she did not have a mum and her dad gave her everything and her friends are not the best influence either. I think shuanas sweet in that she never crosses the line in rudeness and is open minded not set in her ways, for a rich person to adjust to not having certain things would take time whoever it is on top of getting usE to a different lifestyle of the family. I do not think shows made her typical rich person.

i understood your topic but i was trying to throw some light on this topic of real life too. yes its true that some time, even rich people who are nice are percieved as 'arrogant,insensitive' & i think the reason is that they are unlimitedly spoiled, so when they do something nice or help somebody, they think whatever way they follow would be right, they just want to help & which most of times they end up causing more trouble to others so they are considered as immature, insolent, insensitive, blinded with money, etc. i feel rich people are over-sensitive because they get everything that they demand so they do whatever they feel right not thinking about anyone's feelings. they just act the way they are, no fakeness. thats what i think..

The kind of rich people you are talking about are there in our society. As someone else pointed out in this thread, it also depends on their upbringing of their parents. Parents who became rich in short span of time are the ones who raise their kids to be in the category you are talking about. These number may be relatively few but lot more visible in the society to make a bad impression on people.

Here in US, The Washington Redskins coach who is filthy rich and a sports celebrity, his sons used to be in the same school my son used to go to... He even knew those boys personally for several years. But they conducted themselves so well, nobody recognized them as celebrity kids. His wife was o down to earth even after talking to her several times, I could not figure out.

The water in the deep ocean is quiet and still. While in the shore there are huge waves. Of course there waves sometimes (rare) even in deep sea/ocean, but they are called rogue waves lol... Like the rogue waves there are also exceptions among humble rich too. 😛

Sometimes you just cant blame the family, as when a child lacks something as compared to other children, parents generally try to make up for that loss in the child by providing other extra things more than that is required (like in the case of children who dont have mom, children with some handicap like sight problem, hearing problem, etc), some examples being satisfying every materialistic need of the child that money can buy, pampering the child more than that is required, etc. That is just the love of the family to make sure that the child is happy in every other way possible. But sometimes they dont realise the side effect of this until its too late, like what happened with Suhana's father.

So ur also similar to Suhana, so one more to the list 😆! Join the club 😆!!

If you are gonna start a club, then we better name it😲

How about "Spoiled (but well behaved) Brats Club"?🤪

Thats not the case always. Some people might be like that, but thats not the case with everyone who are rich. There are rich people who behave normaly like anybody else, who are level headed and sensible. They know how to talk and behave with people like others. You are saying rich people are oversensitive, others say they are insensitive, frankly I dont think either of it can be generalised. Most of them are just normal people with normal feelings, its just that sometimes their behaviour might appear a bit immature, like Suhana. But again, most of them are sensible enough and know how to behave when in public, or when they are not at home.

@ red - Suhana is a good example. When she is with her dad and Sanjana, she is just a brat... when shes in public and with others she is polite as much as possible..😆

Hey thanks 😊. Yup I know how much u like this seriel as you can easily relate to it. Same with me also 😃.

I liked your classification of rich people, its true, I have heard people who become rich suddenly are the ones who are less straightforward, more proud and arragant as they constantly want to avenge for everything bad that society would have done to them when they were not rich. And such people are ready to do anything to move forward, as more than money they tend to be power hungry. And most of the time, the way they would have become rich and the way they maintain it would not be completely straight and legal, cos nowadays everyone wants to make fast money. They dont even mind cheating innocent people, and stepping on other people to move up. I have seen lots of cases like this in real life as well.

Thats bad you were mistreated at college, especially when you were pregnant !

Regarding the plates, oh I dint know people do that in real life as well 😆, but hopefully they select the old and retired plates and glasses before throwing them 😆! Aur bechari Suhana, ithne dinon ke tension aur stress ke baad, usse ek glass thanda paani bhi naseeb nahin hoga tho gussa tho aayega hi na 😆!

Thanks Appu 😊

@ red - At college girls used to say my hubby married me for my dad's money etc etc... that's why I got pregnant right away... coz my hubby wants to ensure the fair share I would get... people are wierd 😆 😆 people constantly staring at me and commenting on me... I did not have a pleasant pregnancy... thanks to college.. 😆😆 other than my son, I have no good memories about being a would be mother... 😆😆😆
