[00:00:00] Meghan Markle proves that the world loves sars-bahu serials. Of all the funny headlines we've ever read about Meghan Markle, this is the funniest. Royal staff grumpy after Meghan Markle and Harry given new suite at Buckingham Palace. Yes, staff grumpy.
[00:00:19] I thought these kind of conversations about Naibahu and Ghar Ki Parampara and domestic staff being traditions gatekeepers was the kind of thing that only Indian housewives are supposed to be into, but apparently not.
[00:00:32] Going by the way the domestic life and Devani-Jetani relationship between Meghan and Kate up would trade in international tabloids, the whole world seems to love a sars-bahu soap. Kate as Bari Bahu, seen as the modern torch bearer of family traditions, and Meghan as
[00:00:48] Choti Bahu, a new American entrant who must do all she can to fit in quickly, but who instead with her husband chooses to move out of the joint family home Kensington Palace. If the twists and turns of domestic life of the Windsors, as scripted by the tabloids
[00:01:03] is not an Indian soap with a foreign cast then we don't know what is. Meghan is compared and contrasted to Kate in international tabloids in everything she says, does, wears and spends. The bill to refurbish their home Frogmore Cottage and the rift she and Harry's
[00:01:19] signal by unfollowing the Cambridgeers on Instagram are more than enough for a couple of seasons worth of episodes and you don't even need to drag it out with the strobe shot on repeat. Who gets the tijori ki chabi?
[00:01:35] Like all new brides of the soaps we grew up with, Meghan can never truly catch a break from the judgments of Samaj which in this case are tabloid news juggies. As the new daughter-in-law to the Kandan she will always be compared to her
[00:01:47] jaithani Kate who the subtext reads did it first, did it better and will eventually manage the tijori ki chabi which in this case just happens to be an erstwhile empire's bounty. Headlines of her unwitting hitch keys that are apparently not in keeping with
[00:02:04] family convention keep chasing Meghan and some of them are just desperate attempts at finding news when none exists. The latest scandal being a dohar. Yes guys, the dohar, a blanket she used among baby Archie's first outings was made in India which means it must have preached international labour
[00:02:22] law standards right? So say the tabloids. And then there was the unfortunate event where her book September edition guest editor, Maan Bangan found its cover looking very similar to another book but what people more had seemed was that the edition gave
[00:02:38] political commentary which the royals are not supposed to do. Being politically neutral always of course such is their Kandani parampara. Really? Long live the rebel bride but just like all Indian soap opera whose are not pushovers neither is the actual Indian bride and nor is Meghan.
[00:02:58] The badass bride is an Indian phenome too breaking barriers of custom and setting new traditions. While this Bengali bride refused to do the customary thanks and goodbye to her parents saying that she'll be back whenever she wants, Meghan did her bit by showing her post baby bump,
[00:03:15] wearing sleeveless and making political and feminist statements in her everyday work. Her endless positive outlook, professional past and work on contemporary global issues that matter have earned her the title of woke duchess and we're going to ensure that the Windsor
[00:03:32] soap opera never gets stale for more seasons than we can count.
