Rajan Shahi’s popular show Anupamaa recently highlighted an important point on people bargaining with poor roadside vendors, while not blinking an eyelid paying a premium at a supermarket.
In a scene, Anupamaa and her friend Anuj Kapadia were seen walking down the street and saw a rich lady bargaining with a roadside seller. Anupamaa (Rupali Ganguly) overhears their conversation and makes the high society lady understand the fact that the roadside seller puts in a lot of effort and we should not bargain with them. She goes on to buy a diya from the seller and tells the rich lady when we don’t bargain an expensive coffee or our classy shoes why bargain with the needy sellers?
The clip from the show went viral and got some great response on social media. Incidentally Nageshwar Rao, the former interim director of CBI, tweeted this clip and wrote a message about not bargaining with the poor Diya makers. He also wrote…Words not enough. And that tweet got 1900 plus retweets. Even Parakala Prabhakar, Nirmala Sitaraman’s husband, also tweeted the clip. He wrote – great message and powerfully delivered.“
