No, it’s funny the way they feel like they own him or something when he obviously has his own life and decisions. It’s like everytime we talk, that’s their main topic.

Re: Funny rishta stories!!!

yeah i can imagine..lol... I knew of this other family where something like this happened, the rishta was set with a 8-9 yo cousin (sofa king stupid) cz she was "sooooooo beautfiul" (Uh..ew!) but then obv the guy wasn't into it and eventually it broke off i think.. not sure what happened..... ....

Re: Funny rishta stories!!!

hehe thats funny Shay. Yeah it strikes me as odd that people living here still worry about caste...Especially if you claim to be religous..etc....then they really should know that caste means nothing...other traits are more important.

I mean on one hand you have a great person but he/she is not of their caste....would they rather marry their son/daughter to someone horrible, but at least its the same caste?? How could you do that. My son is only 14 months, but Inshallah I will not be like that when he is older.

Re: Funny rishta stories!!!

^Very true. My mom is more liberal than anyone else in her family in that regard so when she approved of who I liked (considering he was memon), her entire family got upset that she was all broad minded and didn't want to follow traditions. She still sticks by the fact that your 'caste' doesn't influence what kind of person you are, your own sense of religion, education and culture does.

It's so nice that you're keeping an open mind when it comes to your son. You will be a rockin mama.

New GupShup - merged

so my funniest rishta turned even funnier when i was looking through this girl’s wedding album in the bridal pics thread (the much controversial zuneera album) and i saw a pic of the guy who had sent a rishta for me last summer!!!
http://picasaweb.google.com/zuuny84/MehwishSajjadSWedding/photo#5162457727953709778

ok so here goes: i went to my cousins wedding in canada last summer. at his valima, the aunts of the bride came and sat down at our table out of nowhere. they started chatting with my mom about how they are from VA etc etc. next thing you know, their son comes over and the aunty goes to me, oh yeh mera beta hai.. me being lost in my own thoughts, i am like uh um okkk.. and didn’t pay attention to what was going on. a few mins later, i notice this younger guy standing right in front of me taking pics with his camera. i turned to my cousin and shes like omg hes clicking your pics.. so i went upto him and i am like, what the hell are you taking my pics for? he goes ohh ummm no i didnt blah blah. i am like ok, can i see your camera? i took and yep about 2 pics were in there that i deleted. soon afterwards, that auntys daughter comes over to me and asks me to step outside with her because she needs to talk.. i am like uhhh ok. so i stand up and i notice their khaandaan crowded around our table just blatantly smiling at me. i walk outside and she goes, so you probably know whats going on right? and i am like umm noo? she goes oh here, this is my brother, he wants to talk to u because my mom wants to send a rishta. now let me tell you why that AMUSED me more than anything else- i was already engaged. so she walks off and the guy is like, oh so you really dont know whats going on, right? and i played dumb saying no.. whats going on, why dont u tell me? he starts asking what i do.. what i study.. how old i am.. etc etc.. and then he goes, so what do you do for fun? i am like oh i love travelling especially to miami. and hes like, oh thats nice.. why miami? i said, oh because my fiance lives there so i visit him and my inlaws often. the guy just STARED. and then i picked up my ring finger and said, ohhh i get whats happening here.. well sorry, i am taken

when i walked back inside the hall, his family was STILL talking to my parents, smiling and chatting away. 5 mins later, i see them all evacuate the table and pretty much avoided me for the rest of the night. oh man, seeing this guy’s pic again made me laugh out so loud.

alhumdulillah, my fiance was my first guy since high school and my first rishta too even though i did cry on the phone while i was telling him about what happened at the valima. it just scared me later that omg, what if i wasnt engaged.. i cant believe i would have had to go through all this nonsense.. now its funny

at the poor guy

Re: Funny rishta stories!!!

I have another story! I swear I know too many!

Well my nani in pakistan decided that she was getting her youngest son married :)(about 6 years ago) anyways there was a particular rishta where the girl was a teacher. So the family went over and they knew this teacher’s family through family who teaches in school near her, got there and there was a female headteacher there as well… umm watev!

Anyways got down to talkin and this head teacher asked “what do you do?” and my uncle was like “I have a textiles mill:)”. then the lady asked “What else do u do?” and my uncle was like “I’ve got some land so I’m trying my hand on agriculture” and then the lady went “and?:aq:” Uncle was like “that’s it”.

The woman was like “that’s all!”, at this point my uncle had gotten quite pissed offand for a joke he was said “No I play the drums as well:p” the lady turned to look at him and was like “Really?” and everyone looked at this lady like she was crazy! Needless to say that one didnt work out!

Re: Funny rishta stories!!!

Some distant relative from Pakistan rang our house and coincidentally I picked it up from upstairs at the same time my mum picked it up from downstairs. I mistook this relative for one of my aunts who I hadn't spoken to for ages so I held the phone to wait my turn to speak to her. Anyway after a bit I realised it wasn't her and was going to hang up when she said 'The reason I've called is...' and then she came out with it. My mum was like 'We're not considering proposals for her yet blah blah' and this woman starts making this crying sound saying 'She is MINE...MY DAUGHTER...you can't deny her to me.' I was about to wet myself laughing especially as my mum was just dumbfounded! After a while of fake weeping she said 'So you're really not going to consider it then?' at which my mum replied 'No..' The woman went quiet for a bit and then suddenly came out with 'Any chance you can send my son a camera phone then???'

I'm familiar with this scenario- more or less happened to all of us I think!

reminds me of my friend who’s extended family came to stay with them from pakistan. their son was 17 at the time and my friend was 15.. so since day one, the parents of the guy were wayy too nice towards the girl and a week later, they said to the mom, buss ab aap in dono ki mangni karden.. before we go back.. and the mom was like.. UMMM… she’s wayyy too young and your son hasn’t even graduated from high school yet! they go, that’s why.. we want him to go to univ here and if she sponsors him then he can do that easily.. my friend was PISSED.
