The whole problem is the equation in the Gada family. It is wiser for the old man to mind his own business considering his son is of enough age to deal his family issues or at least his marital issues. Its time he should concentrate on religious activities instead of poking his nose everywhere, anytime.
Champak reprimands Jetha because he likes to eat and requests Daya to cook for him but does Daya coook for her husband alone? Yes, she gets tired and all but Sr. Gada should realise she is serving him day in day out either. Instead of criticising Jetha he should help Daya himself. I hate how he is concerned about Daya's hardwork but how easily belittle jetha's back breaking job. He is clear that Jetha is a late riser but he never understands he comes home late too.
Coming to Tappu as a young child he troubled Jetha. These days all he does is smile or laugh or make some stupid plans like his mother. He can organise mother's day but hardly cares about his father and we should thank Champaak, Sundar and Daya dev herself for the whole mess.
Now, lets talk about jetha. He definitely lacks guts to come clean about the matters related to Sundar. He can sometimes take his sasuma's call and let her know how much money Sundar took from him and never returned. Let that issue not be a serious one but can be said rather casually or just by the way.However, whenever the matter is about Babita or food he doesn't want to compromise. He bursts like a baloon. Since he is not clear about his priorities in life he is taken for granted during important occasions. Also, he yelling at Daya because of his failure is shown so glamorously. Daya never yell at him because of anything. She is never so upset to hurt him anyway. Its always because of some misunderstanding or mistake Jetha is punished. So, Jetha automatically is a bigger culprit here. Also, there is a limit to what you expect from your wife. She can make mistakes and the man of the house needs to respect her even if she fails to cook properly. You marry to have a life partner and not to own a lifetime chef.
Daya, she needs guidance and not from her mother please. ' Athithi Devo Bhaba' is our culture but no culture in India suggests a woman to give away all the food in the house to the guests and let the man of the house starve. If you have an uncalled guest then buy some time and cook afresh for them. Also, without any ocassion or reason she need not cook thousand of meals. Because of her self made Annapurna title people or at least her husband expects too much from her and when she fails there is a thundestorm in the house. Simple food is not a bad idea. She lacks balance. She will either bring Aamras puri for him or shall not feed him anything. There is nothing in between. Dear lady, its your home and not a Gujarati hotel where you should decorate your six seater dining table with various dishes.I think she was always the only woman of the house. Jetha don't have mother or sister and therefore she took the charge really young. She needs to be counselled about how to handle her family issues in her room only and not crying aloud in the society. She also has to understand that mannat for a neighbour is not required at all when the man has a family and a group of dearest friends who can do it for him.
About her mother I know not what to say. Daya is shown talking to her when Jetha is shown getting late for work. The talk is nothing genuine but very casual one. A adarsh nari knows to postpone the chat and concentrate on her work first. Interestingly, her mother also a whole set of superstitious ideas to share but nothing genuine to help her. She shares when BacchanA comes to the society or even simple details of the family but why didn't she consider consulting her mother when Sundar had to be given her jewellery as a financial help or when Sundar's fraud made her lose all the jewellery ? As usual she did all on her own. Just like the holi sequence when she had to hide her brother. Even then she kept her mother aside.
Sundar is the worst character in the family. I cannot agree his mother is not aware of his fraudulent means nor can I accept Champak's innocence regarding Sundar fooling Jetha all the time. Its time someone slaps him hard or at least the makers introduce a female character to counterattack his topibaazi.
There is simply no coherence among the members for which one character doesn't relate to another. One simple thing becomes an issue and we are left to discuss all the negativities of the show. Common makers you can offer us better things. Being a woman is attitude and not cooking meals or washing clothes only.
