Much ado about Middle Class!!

 

'Middle Class' is Ekta's ticket to success, in her every show I guess she has this sneering of typical middle class and small town etc etc...In KS she had Jigyasa mocking Bani and her sisters, the other day I was scanning channels when I saw in PR the heroine was being mocked at a party about her background and of course in BALH, our very own Nuts is going nutty over her so called 'middle class' boy friend.

 

I do not know much about Ekta's class ( I am not talking about fortune she made through the so called middle class ladies😉)  but I would like to tell Ekta much as she is grateful to this class the outlook of so called middle class in India has changed sometime back.  Now the urban middle class is very much aware of brands, good education, the power of english language, the utility of credit cards so for a serial set in Mumbai Ekta should ask her dialogue writer to come up with some new dialogues, not those gheesi peeti ones any more...

 

Nuts is a nut case and I am liking Kartick hence it is better Nutty breaks off with him and goes off to London or still better tinbaktoo as I feel she is a misfit in our society and is eating too much of screen time I liked yesterday Priya and her dad scene, a bit cliche no doubt but yes it is how the so called 'middle class' still accumulates marriage trousseau for their daughter, I only wish the man playing Priya's father looked like a father and not like a brother...your thoughts friends, love Tin

Although the priya/father scene was nice, I still feel it was uneccessary, what is Ekta trying to portray "that middle class people should not aim to get their daughters married in wealthy homes as their gifts are not good enough" or that middle class people should just remain in their circle.

 

Nuts is a serious waste of space, she needs to be institutionalised with immediate effect.

 

 

In my opinion i'm sick of hearing and seeing scenes/shows that  show people talking about how the "middle class" are less of beings. As an American, 75% of our people are considered "middle class," but yet we middle class people go to Ivy league schools and prestigious colleges; we work at decent jobs, have a great salary, and can have a lifestyle filled with the very best. I don't know  what the mindset of  people in India are about "chote mote jobs" or whatever, but what  all these dramas portray  are sending out a wrong message. Over here, many teens/and or college kids work at McDonalds, and other restaurants as servers etc, but NO ONE thinks any less of them or pays any attention to their "Class". Everyone knows that if a youngster or adult even is working at a so called "chotte job" it's because  they need money to pay their bills,  or frekingly high College tuition loans! Who Cares where they work, or how much a person makes or what "class they are." For crying out loud if Warren Buffett, a guy who's net worth is 45 Billion dollars can live a simple " middle class" lifestyle then whyis it that poeple who do not  have even am 1/16 of it talk so much crap? At the end of the day, the things that matter are if  the person is: honest, efficient, a good worker, and a good person, the rest is irrelevant.

 

 

 

 

 

Exactly my thoughts as most of you have written...it is the ordinary people who become extra-ordinary, of course the class difference will be there, in fact I liked the scene where Karthick gives Priya a simple chain whereas Ram's family given her with jewels worth lakhs...You show it in a natural way is all I want, Priya is educated, Karthick is polite and well mannered, yes there will be adjusting issues, in accepting things of day to day life and we would like to see it on screen, not through those dialogues which have outlived their time...
