While the pregnant lady is talking about her freedom to have a career, being treated as second class citizen, she in turn is treating the maid as a third class citizen.

You missed the way the pregnant woman treated the maid. She could have offered her a better cup but she looked for a cheap steel cup/glass to serve her instead. Women with high status treat other women poorly as well.

Now I know why Shefali won a Filmfare for it.. Well deserved

"Are men really this bad?" That was priceless Jaby!

Now I am feeling sorry for asking my mom for tea and she is a working woman. Next time I'll make it my own.

This is a very real story in a lot of households.

The thing with the cups...Parbatiya,the maid, was given tea in an old steel cup instead of the delicate China cups because she was a maid and hence, inferior. It was a very subtle way of pointing out the the hold that caste system still has on Indian society.

I am actually a Sri Lankan female living in Australia and I for one can vouch that our people haven't forgotten to bring this patriarchal mindset along with them during the migration. This definitely happens in my family, and at the Sri lankan dinner parties I go to. I'd be called as a guest and then be asked to serve snacks to the men along with the other young girls...why don't they ask the host's son to do that? Now I just sit there when I'm asked to serve...I don't bother getting up. The men and women always have to sit in separate rooms. And the guys in my own generation, my own cousins, behave like this too. They expect their wives to serve them food every day! I personally have done what this lady did, and forcibly inserted myself into their "manly" conversations during get togethers - now they're somewhat used to it. It baffles me that they think men and women cannot sit and socialise together! Disgusting mindset and it definitely exists. If it exists all the way here in Australia, I can only imagine how much worse it'd be in India!

OMG! Finally . watching the reaction after commenting this . Those eyes of Shefali Shah at the end ....priceless .

Achara is right.. its about indian society! Around 60% of indian society is like that

True though, In India women has to sacrifice her everything to have a family. I rather prefer die alone.

And now I have this new found respect for Jaby. The world needs more men like you.

This is why me and my father help my mother in kitchen...

Everything they showed from the mannerisms to what young girls are taught is incredibly accurate.

I love it when you three react together 👍

It's only the demo jaby, a typical Indian man is much more messed up than this.....

I think at least 70 percent of India is like that!!

Chup Karo...😂😂 That was really very powerful and realistic short film !!! Thank you Achara, Jaby and Kristen for reacting to this .

The cup thing was 'discrimination against the maid'. Everyone got a ceramic cup, but the maid was given a steel cup to drink out of. That's why the Maid says 'Its okay I gotta go anyway, I don't want it'. She left feeling discriminated, insulted, unwanted. She works there everyday and became a part of their family but the Prego still made her realize that she is just a maid & not one of them, definitely not an equal.

I felt ashamed for being a Man...i know not all men are same but I can only say sorry to all women and pledge that i will always treat women equally. ##EmpowerWomen

They did a really good job at playing with the sounds, from the very beginning, the background sounds of utensils and men talking loudly, it did a really good job at making me feel suffocated. And when she came out in front of the men, the music turned it into a very soothing and breathable environment. In the beginning, when the camera follows the ladies in the kitchen, took us from that narrow corridor to the women's world, like an air pocket in a cave.

that pretty much summarises the childhood of all those kids born in '90s and before that. even though it still happens in India, but ig I should be sure that things have changed and are progressively changing. and that is what matters.

Jaby men in india r a lot more disrespectful towards women than shown in this short film . Way more than u could imagine .. its sad though

that was so cute when jaby kept his head on achara's shoulder.. best friends thing❤❤

This is why we love Jaby.....he shows his reaction with true emotions. 😊😊

This is true.. My mom always keeps telling me do the chores, so I usually ask why not tell to my brother.. N I only got one ans "because u r a girl" But my father, grandpa never asked me to behave as a girl.. Instead they help my mom and grandma in their chores even after 10 to 10 job if needed.. But they never show the society that they help us.. If some guest comes and their helping on sunday or otherwise they leave what they were doing and pretend not helping... They totally understand and respect women but society donot.. So mom always reminds me that I am a girl coz she knows if I'm married some day.. It's not necessary i'll find a man like my father or grandfather..

Yes! A lot of households in India are this backward. And it is safe to say that more than half the male population in India thinks like that and argues over stuff like female anatomy versus male anatomy and call themselves physically stronger while they sit on a chair all day at home and offices while their wives do actual physical labor.

More than the short movie, what I liked was Jaby's reaction. He was so sensitive and shaken after seeing the torments which almost every woman goes through in our society. Being brought up in an Indian society I could never imagine a guy reacting to this which so much sensibility. But we can't blame guys , everyone is equally responsible. Because this is how they are brought up- girls are taught to do household chores , while guys are allowed to chill right from childhood. EQUALITY should lie in mind. Not just in books and quotes.

It happens in most of Indian families. But thankfully, I'm one of those fortunates family where male helps females in cooking, cleaning up, serving and everything. What happens in my house is that whenever someone comes in our house, my mom and dad cooks food together and me and my brother do other little works so no one feels burderned. My mom cooks everything if some males come to our house surprisingly and same happens when any of my mom's friend comes unexpectedly, like in that case, my father cooks food but avoid serving because he doesn't going in front of ALL the LADIES. 😊😊😊😊😊

It is a very realistic portrayal of a middle class north indian household. The men in the drawing room and women supposed to be in the kitchen. Though you missed certain subtle nuances. For eg the lady giving steel cup to serve tea to the maid instead of a cup reflects the class and caste hierarchy in between women and india in general. Also the discussion about kids show differing opinions within the female gender. And the narration in the beginning kind of sets that. A very good reaction though. I'm a big fan😊😊😍

I come from an Indian family and I can't express enough how real this is. My mom is exactly treated like this and although she complains to me at the end of the day, she's not strong enough to complain to the men... What was most relatable to me is that child whose taught to serve as a younger age. Even though I wouldve rather played around as a kid, it was shameful for me being the eldest daughter and not serving my dad, uncles, their friends.

When she asks for d cup the pregnant lady gives her an old cup for the maid not d fancy ones like for others. That's y d maid refuses to have tea..it also shows one of d class differences in society..other than d gender difference

Seating arrangement changed Now it's Achara Koay

And then some ppl say feminism is wrong

This is what women face at home in majority of INDIA

Though we believe that our country is getting progressive...our society is still regressive in many ways...this short film proves that....just tip of the iceberg!!

When the guy's friends come for a get together..this is what the women go thru..either my mom or d women I work with..N I come from a middle class Indian family

Jaby this flim & that "vicks ad touch of care" was directed by neeraj ghaywan! He is also the director of the movie "masaan". I think infusing subtlety & hard hitting drama is his trademark😊❤ jaby & achara u guys should review "masaan"

I love the way achara look at jaby at 11:05 👌😊

Why amit shah is on jaby's t-shirt!?🤣

When jaby's reaction changed at 13 :23 it was really priceless🥺🥺 I wish very men could be this sensitive and good towards woman💕💕

Been waiting for this!! You never disappoint, Jaby! :)

Jaby makes the whole video more interesting with his enthusiasm and full of energy. I love it.

This is an awesome video even my eyes full of tears after watching this bcoz i related to a middle class family and I emotionally attached to this video

Jaby: The director of this short was the AD on Wasseypur, prodigy of Kashyap.

This is very common in indian society......😶

i just love it how jaby is able to feel all the emotions so well.. love u jaby

Really happy you reacted to this and really appreciate Jaby's attitude towards it

fun thing I'm a man and me and brothers spend most of the time spending time in kitchen to help my father 😂

in my house mom & dad sit together with all uncle & aunt and gossip together. and my father often help mom or cook food for us,damn he is better cook than my mom. if this was situation in my home,my mom would has brusted and instulted him infront of others b'coz in my home my mom is the boss haha XD I WANT TO BE LIKE MY DAD ALL ROUNDER

I was waiting for this reaction. Loved this short film a lot 😍

Shefali shah and her eyes... wow... you should see 'monsoon wedding'...her acting in this movie is simply awestruck.

Only A real man can appreciate this film....

You missed the tea thing as the helper was served in a different cup from the rest of the people which is somehow related to untouchability in indian culture which was prevalent in ancient India but still can be found in some phases of life.

One of my most, most favorite short stories and it was so good to see you all reviewing it! I watched it again. It was so, so touching. I am indian in India now and I am extremely fortunate to have a husband who is beyond helpful in every aspect of the running of our home (it's OUR home and we are equals) and in laws who may have expectations but understand and aren't demanding it right now. There however IS the fear of "what people may think" which push these expectations more. I have seen this in many households and this has to change. Jaby, I am very touched with your sweet, compassionate, sensitive, thoughtful response to this. We definitely need more men like you! Keep up the wonderful work Jaby. And I love you Achara!

Thank god!!! I've been waiting for this.

Really touched my heart.... in my childhood when we have a guest in our house my mother always in kitchen.... that's the topic i always argue with my family but they won't understand 😔

I've grown up seeing exactly that kind of environment in family. In my family it's more like a practice of gender roles, men are not that sexist. But sometimes it's really hard to differentiate between a gender role and sexism

Jaby n Achara- you look so good together.. god bless.. XoXo

Thank you for the reaction. I had suggested this. Shefali Shah won Best Actress in a Short Film at the Filmfare Awards for that powerful performance. Very well deserved

7:22 That was maid, they were giving her tea in steel glass with the corners, it is castist and classist thing

All those men who feel women are privileged need to see this video and Jaby's response in particular

That moment when she drinks juice and the name appears JUICE is just awesome. So timely it was.

The best trio! I commented this even before I watched the video! ❤️❤️❤️

Thanks man i would have missed a gem if you didn't react to it 🙌🙏

Well you guys reviewed it really really well, one of the things it also touched subtly, which you guys didn't get (but you did react when you saw it, you just didn't understand it) because it's more of an Indian thing was caste-bias or well say class-bias (more apt terminology), where you saw them offering the maid a cup of tea in a steel glass and not in the ceramic cup that they were having in. Sadly, stuff like that still prevails in India where servants eat leftovers (I guess and hope that happens rarely), they use different utensils for them and not the ones that owners use and things like that. But, such practices are coming to an end as our societies are getting more progressive. This was a really good film and great reaction and discussion by you three :)

And thanks guys i love to see with you and i love your company

"It feels so real." My favorite Short film till now.😊

You can say that mainly in india.

Achara said Haters gonna Hate Hate... Taylor Swift thread😂 of Shake it off!! Btw loved ur reaction 🤙❤️

Thank you for reacting to this. I have been requesting this. I'm glad you got most of the nuances. I found the short film very powerful and reflect on the similar behaviour I see around me.

i really was waiting for your reaction for so long thanks jaby

Without uttering even a single word, she shut the bullsheeting husbands mouth who thinks that wife is not doing anything to run the family

I entirely agree with Jaby. It has to be BOTH. For any smooth, organic transition towards equality, it has to be both the erstwhile oppressor and erstwhile oppressed working together. Here, them being men and women. It applies to other cases too. So to defeat the caste system in India, the oppressed castes need to become empowered and the dominant castes need to realise how the system is set up to benefit them and only if both work together can equality be achieved smoothly. Similarly, for races and classes too.

Sublime message in a subtle tone!

This is extreme level man, Children after they grow up become supporter of their mother, We both brothers support our mother and my father too. She is incredible, I love my mother soo much.

Jaby, You noticed other women were not really helping her?? They just talk. Actually not really sharing her mental and physical load. Edit: And some people pointed out the maid and the cup thing. SO basically women are kinda habituated and accepted the the imbalance as the right and logical thing. In short women are the greatest enemy of women.

finally 3rd!! btw that is an air cooler, not AC..!! :)

love you achara and jaby koay

Wooohooo finally...!!!!!!

Achara is in this suffocating partnership where jaby always treats her as less intellect than him while she keep guessing all the plots write, You can see it her eyes in recent videos

Jaby kirk

you’re not alone Jaby i’m crying too

AWESOME video as well as your reaction to it..passed the message without saying much or in fact nothing

In my knowlegde and experience.. some men here are WAY bad.

Please react on neetishastra...a short film

please ddo always watch these kinda short films...we love it..----Love from India

I recommend it!! Thanks jaby.

Bring back COURTNEY AND SYNTELL!!! DONT MIND THE SPELLINGS THO✌❤

Achara really hates it when Kristen laughs at Jabys jokes ,,😉

My grandmother died 2 months ago. Her entire life she served her husband and 6 children. She was married at the age of 12 or 13. When her children grew up and got married, had kids. One of her son's (who lives in grandma's house) daughter was abnormal from birth, and my grandmother took care of her since the birth of kid. My grandpa never let granny go out and stay in her kids or relatives house more then 2 or more days(caz they needed her in the house). At last moments before her death but sickness, only my mom was taking care of her and the son of her had sent daughter-in-law to take care of her in hospital. The entire 75+ years of my grandmother was nothing but serving, even soldiers get a retirement but not the housewife. Atleast soldiers get respect and are awarded and taken care of. But my grandmother had none. I am sorry grandma.(I didn't try to tell the story for likes, I don't even care of that . Thing is , I just have lot of guilt within and am just typing)

And i am in love with your reactions. Your emotional faces. 😊😢😔

Jaby, this is a normal thing in a normal Indian household. I understand where you are coming from when u said sorry to Achara and Kristen. But this kind of a thing is totally normal for Indians, and the worst part is that most of the women dont even realise this as a problem. They just think its their duty to serve her husband and entertain his company

Jaby aaj kal bahut ro raha hain Achara tune is sakht launde ko karan johar bana diya😂😂😂

Really appreciate the review and your view on the short film Jaby,Achara and Kristen. Always a pleasure when you three come together.Also We want more Kristen!!! :-)

I really appreciate those persons like you who respects women very much. you are a very good human jaby👌 keep it up👍

Watch "A.I.S.H.A my virtual girlfriend" its a sci-fi... Its very good

These kind of short films make it sound like all that men do is sit and drink and have fun. Most of rural Indain men toil day and night just to come home crash out. And repeat. They take of their families and help the women in all ways possible.

Really awesome I started crying too..

OMG!!!! That climax was just amazing!! I got goosebumps while watching that final scene.. Respect women and their feelings.
