even i thought the same Ishika is more into a Tamil Doctor of Metro city Delhi but, her mom is much more in the side of comical way Tamil character stereotype for sure...
Rest of the Tamilians in family are normal.
But still they are not mocking any character or religion...yet making in a lighter mood.
whenever i see her mom , she reminds me of someone i knw .
So, there are ppl in real life as well who resemble her .

Sikhs were dancing for what Hindus do?
Thats totally insane.. and I too agree that whoever is in the creative team, hasn't been doing a good job in researching about different cultures and their traditions..

They mock bengali's too sometimes 🤢

I am not a tamalian therefore I cannot comment on the correctness of the accent etc...but I just love the acting of the actress who plays the mothers role. I feel she is doing it well. I do not feel this show is mocking any culture... It's better to treat serials as 'strictly for entertainment only' and enjoy them... 😊

I agree...especially ishu's mom does ott...irritating
her pronunciation of tamil words is bad...if she is a tamil then she must pronounce hindi badly not tamil...
iam pretty ok with dressing styles...but only her mom's pronounciation irritates me

Why is that tamilians are always stereotyped in a comic way? Divyanka does not look tamilian. Her mother seems as if she mocks South Indians. Her language and accent is hideous! Nothing like tamil in real but more of mocking?

I totally blame the execution of the script. I find a lack of adequate research on tamil language, culture, dressing and proper implementation. Whoever on the creative team, are totally unprofessionals!


Its not Ishita's mom's fault nor it is Ekta's or the entire stereotyping tamil accent/people issue at all. This is the way they are portrayed not just by north indians or the world but the tamil movies and serials as well. ' Kaila - glassa ... glasssla scotcha...eyes fulla teara... Why this kolaveri di ? ... ' If I am not mistaken this osng is sung by a Tamil guy...if your own movies and songs or actors ( rajnikanth ) do not have problem... why do you expect others to not show it the way it is. ?

every culture has it own respect and value
if u cant respect tamil culture dont insult it
many of south indians do have problem when kolaveri realized.
but again it is writers creatvitiy
if it was that bad then it wont be that popular

and rajini sir never mocked north indians
he is gentleman too core
he has fans all over the world and if u know less about him that is u r problem.

Why can we all be calm and enjoy the serial even with all it's short comings... People are stereotyped in movies, serial etc... There are jokes made on everyone be it North, South, East or West... Asians, Americans, Europeans... Marathi people are always shown as maids, for an example...etc etc we get daily forwards on facebook, watspp etc based on culture... So what??? Can't we just laugh it off?? Can't we learn to laugh on ourselves? We are all different to each other but this is what makes life more interesting... I never thought for once while watching that this serial was mocking any culture... Yes maybe there are a few mistakes in language or pronunciations... Because after all it's just a daily soap with actors... But how does it amount to 'mocking'...? It's in our hands to decide how much we want something to affect us... So let's not get caught in things like language, clothes, looks... We can either laugh out loud and move on or sulk an stay grumpy... LOL sounds like a better option!
Now enough of this Mock business dear friends... It's Friday night! Have a Mocktail and enjoy!! Cheers... 😊

I am okay with dressing but tamil accent is not that good...actually they tried to make it sound funny but ya..its offending sometimes...
i m from a tamil brahmin family...but they don't seem like a tamil family tbh...it is like they used to be in chennai for some days...so they got to know tamil but they were hindi by origin...they speak hindi well and the only tamil word i hear is "amma,appa, etc"
why can't they use some tamil sentences and in good accent too?
Ishu's mom does OTT sometimes 🤔

well. its TV world. wat can one expect ? many shows dont do research while there are very few shows which do research before they start production, main theme of this show was two bring two people together and high light i donno unity ? or wat ever?
I found it very annoying over the jag ratha episode, but then again, yes we do poojas early in the morning and all ... never mind show hai, brain freezer mein raak ke show deekho
