Slightly outdated?

This is a show about middle class parents and their kids in a modern cosmopolitan society.. Yet, the parents' reaction to normal things faced by their kids are a little over the top... Here are a few examples: Edited by swordfishh - 12 years ago

I did feel Pinky's reaction to Raavi was completely OTT. But her character is like that, she tries to play it cool but at heart she's very insecure and worried about her kids. Jeet's reaction was much better, and in keeping with his sensible character. I guess both sisters are being shown a bit hyper, mothers are sometimes.😆 These characters are not uncommon in slightly conservative families, I've seen such people in my own circle. Yes, unbelievable as it might sound, parents, even in a metropolitan city, do think English songs, or Hindi film songs pave the way to hell. 

I agree that Pinky Ji's and Sweety Ji's reaction was a little 'backward' but I believe that is what the directors wanted to project.

I think the basic theme of the show is satirical, does anybody else think so too? I was watching this show with my mom the other day and we both had a good laugh. 😆 I know some moms who are as shaqi as Sweety ji and I know some moms who are over emotional like Pinky Ji. I really like how parents are trying to monitor their kids and kids are constantly trying to outsmart their parents.

The only reason I visited this forum is because I wanted to know how many people, beside me, think that the show is supposed to be a satire with occasional meaningful reflections on parenthood?

I think the only sensible character is that of Pinky Ji's husband, Jeet is it?

I dont think their reactions are outdated at all. Pinky is learning how to be a modern mom and be a friend more than a mother to her kids. But at the same she is scared of crossing the line since they are parents and not friends. so she is confused. Sweety was right in saying one thing could lead to another. I agree that just singing wont do anything to ginni but ginni was wearing short skirt, colored hair, fake tatoos and dancing provocatively and i am sure she would also hold a cigarette to get into character with no hesitation. Pinky obviously told sweety all that and that is why she got mad and said that line. Ginni wasnt just into the singing but also everything else that accompany it. I doubt sweety would have this much problem if Ginni was just singing. Not all parents are ok with their kids wearing revealing clothes and having boyfriend, girlfriends. And i think that is what they are trying to show. On one hand somebody like sweety will be strict while pinky's hubby will be a friend to his kids. Both types of parenting have pros and cons.

I don't think their reactions are outdated. I've met families like that myself. Even though I live outside of India, I know that if I told my mum that a guy proposed to me or something, she would get kind of hyper. It happens. =/

u know what no matter how modern the society has become there still r parents who are a little insecure but they try their best to hide it...i know few people who actually react like pinky...and regarding sweety...well lol my aunts r just like her...carbon copies :P :P ...so  does that make them outdated???? i mean what's the clear definition of dated and outdated?? gen x and gen y??? different people react to situations differently...cant really categorize then like this...

The best thing about this show is, most of the characters can be found around us, we can easily relate to them. What is outdated can be called generation gap, but such characters are there for sure.

Well .. I dont find it outdated at all.. My sis is in her teen.. And if something like that happens to her, I mean bf in school, I cant even IMAGINE how my mom will react 🤔 I mean come on, in middle class families, they still dont accept such things casually.. 🤔 Lots of drama they do.. 🤔🤔

Sweety's character sometimes is annoying.. But so as LOTS of aunties/mommies around us 😆 So the basic point is, ALL these characters are real and we can SO related us to the kids / parents 👏

P.S - Was thinking about the privacy issue.. It is SOOO damn irritating when mommies tell us to keep the door open 😡😆 It's really annoying.. I find every BIT of this show realistic.. 👏 No OTT 👍🏼[
