Okay so, in my very first topic I am gonna pour out all I feel about the show so it's gonna be long.
I have grown up watching romantic comedies, and have always believed that TV does not have anything to offer but melodrama and some selected youth oriented shows, sadly with no sense however when I watch SGP, I find myself reflecting on the thoughts I've had in mind regarding Indian television and with this particular show, my thoughts have totally transformed and obviously for the good. š³ I am a teenager with a disastrously inquisitive mind and hence before I proceed I would want to express my inclination in seeking an answer to my question. What does the Kashyap Family mean to you, superficial or profound?
I have points to justify both, though.
Superficial because in the real world, the idea itself of living in a joint family seems far too remote and inconvenient to most people and the rate of such people is rapidly increasing as the rate of people adopting the western culture is. Besides, for most realists - so much happiness is way too much to digest. In the show, each one of them seems to enjoy each other's company and every now and then neglect each other's privacy. Though, the family never minded that they had no private lives, After Suhaana entered the household, it did very much bother her in the beginning.
Also, today when people are so busy with their own lives, the show depicts perfect unity and love and whatnot, like they are all inseperable which I think does feel good, but only in terms of entertainment. Of course, shows are solely meant for the purpose of entertaining the audience but we Indians tend to relate with the show and establish bonds. Eh, we IFians know this well no? Badly! š
So much gist, affection and care is quite superficial for even though, love has always managed to sustain in every generation but this - is not how it is in real, anymore. Such families existed long before. Like my mother says! Her family had seven brothers including my Nanu and two kids each. 3 x 7 = 21 + My par Nana and Nani = 23 people in a three room house. How does that sound, people? Aah? š¤ But Maa says they were all happy however now - when I look around - my Mamus and Maasis and various Nanus have nothing to do with eachother. My Naanus brush pass eachother but don't even bother to talk or even greet! Such is life!
And now - why real!
At first, they appear content and complete in eachother however the roots themselves of the family are neither content within. Complacency and their lives have nothing to do with each other, yet they've both held the family strong, weaved together. They are - Badi Maa and Radha Bua.
Every character in the show is one of a kind, but the above two make me ruminate and awe the MOST! What Badi Maa and Radha Bua suffer happens to every other Hindustaani Naari.
Their characters reflect the real women power, the naari inside probably all the aunties I see around gossiping in the evening. They irritate me bad with their talks, even my Mama. But honestly - they are all immensely strong, respectable and ultimate survivors and not victims! š³ They are women of substance and gist, inspiring every young lady all the way.
On the other hand is Panna, and her husband's job affair. Ronaq's character I find, really close to my own father. A happy, extravagant man who isn't as strong as he always appears to be. Panna is his pillar of support yet at the end of the day - he finds himself sick of her, God knows why! My father has misunderstood my mother's support and concern too. Nonetheless - I have witnessed them both real close and on this topic I conclude with this little thing I know! Men can earn better, maybe but a woman is needed to run the family. And no man is complete without a woman, women are stronger and aren't that needful, if I may say that.
So, the above two things I believe make the show profound and worthwhile. Cause very matter of fact-ly I would mention, that the show not only has a lot of depth, but every character has one bit of every other Indian and does offer us so much to learn. Like, everyday!
And now I shall conclude, on the note that the show is immensely touching - anyway. I cry so bad, laugh my lungs out and whatnot . . everything put together!
Please do share your opinion wimme people, and pardon me if you find anything wrong. Excuse me, I am really young, 13 only. Thank you for the time, waiting eagerly for all the replies. Please use like if you agree!
