I disagree that Bhakti's husband's having diabetes and her personal decision to leave her job/career for it is a sad story. As compared to other diseases, diabetes, especially adult onset as this appears to be, is fairly common place, especially in India; it is not a good disease, but it is not as serious as so many other diseases out there. This is a forced sad story, and I don't think it required her to give up everything just because her husband is diabetic.
Sorry if this opinion offends anyone. I am a doctor, and I also have so many members in my immediate (e.g. my mother) and extended family who are/were diabetic - it is not a major, life-halting tragedy. People with diabetes live fairly normal and active lives. Yes, they need to be careful about their diet and take various precautions, exercise, etc. But, their lives otherwise are normal, and neither their lives nor that of their families come to a complete stop/detour because of this one diagnosis. Compared to so many serious tragedies, diseases, and problems out there in the world, I feel disgusted that this particular condition is being milked dry for sympathy by Bhakti and the show. She may be a good cook, and they should highlight that. If she wants to create a line of food for diabetics or write a cookbook, that is all fine and good and should be mentioned. But, to speak repeatedly about her personal choice (incomprehensible to me why she needed to do that for something like diabetes) and her husband's diabetic condition as some sort of major tragedy is just ridiculous.
Again, apologies if my opinion has offended anyone. It's just my opinion.
