With Shefali (Mini Mathur) and Rishabh (Cyrus Sahukar) back with crazy problems and crazier solutions, ‘Mind The Malhotras Season 2’ has been garnering the attention of viewers. All the new elements of Season 2 seem to make it more relatable to people.

Talking about adding more characters and fun elements to the show, Cyrus said: “It was crazy, fun and very revealing. I mean, ‘Mind The Malhotras’ has always been a really fun experience because I’m also working with so many friends. This season, we have even more friends! We have my childhood buddy, Sameer Kochchar, Maria Goretti, and Dalip Tahil, all in very special and interesting roles.”

He further adds: “It was a lot of hard work and this season really opens up the Malhotras’ lives and their stories. I think this is the season of transitions where everything opens up. While the first season was very much about the home,...

"Mini Mathur's acting in the Amazon original series is so natural because Shefali is an exaggerated version of Mini! Now Cyrus knows how I feel!! But jokes apart and with no bias in my judgment I think Mini has done a great job," Kabir Khan said in a statement.

"Her acting was so enjoyable. You could see that she was enjoying herself. Mini has always been certain that she wasn't going...

Actress Mini Mathur gave a befitting reply to a social media troll, who asked her to consider getting botox done.

The troll commented on Mini's web show "Mind The Malhotras", which is out on Amazon Prime Video.

"Story of every couple! 'Mind The Malhotras' in Prime Video knocks it out of the park. Great series, total humor. Kudos to Mini Mathur, Cyrus Sahukar, Denzil Smith... Ps: Ms. Mathur, it's botox time."

Mini replied: "Thank you...and no. I will not use botox. It's time the world got comfortable with the fact that women age, their talent does not. Be happy that feisty lead roles are being written for women in their 40s. Would you have rather a 20-year-old playing a 40-year-old Shefali."

In spite of undeniable crackling chemistry between the two very talented actors who play the Malhotra couple, "Mind The Malhotras" feels as flat and stale as pancakes from yesterday's breakfast, a rancid after-taste which no amount of maple syrup can conceal.

There are mother-in-law jokes, the discipline-the-child jokes, control-the-domestic help jokes, love-thy-insufferable-neighbours jokes, incorrect-angrezi-pronunciation jokes, wife's weight jokes. Weight...there is more. There is even a Basanti-seduces-Thakur joke which I am pretty sure won't amuse Ramesh Sippy.

I am sure originally, the writing adapted from the Israeli series "La Familigia" must have made the team for the desi adaptation roll off their chairs in sheer glee. Alas, very little of the original humour renders itself to a rib-tickling translocation. Most of the humour shared by the lead pair is generated more from their innate talent to liven up proceedings than organically from the content.

Mini Mathur and Cyrus Sahukar are...
