I don't even blame Apu. Kaushik, Sarika and Anjali, the three of them, did a lousy job parenting this kid. What a load of nonsense - I failed as a parent so I'll marry my daughter off!
The karnitkars need not feel too proud of themselves either - emotionally blackmailing your abiding son to marry a girl of your choice because she's a lovely little project to work on.
Where the hell is Anjali when you need her. I was waiting for her to show everyone the mirror when she finally found out about the terms of the marriage. She's lousy even as an 'antagonist'.
I would've much preferred it if Anjali hadn't let it reach the wedding stage. It would've given Apu and Shashank more time to get to know each other in their own way. And it would mean we had more time watching the karnitkars as they were - without Apu in the mix. The cookie gang alone are bad enough sometimes but include Apu...the energy at which they operate - it's exhausting to watch.
The more episodes I watch, the more I feel for Shashank.
Phew, had to get that off my chest!
