People say that I am crazy. For TV, for shows like Mahi Way. But there are my reasons to like it. The show is not only a roller coaster like journey of Mahi, an overweight woman in her mid 20 s but also is an allegory on the way society works. Mahi, an aspiring writer has a long time hopeless crush on Ishan Singh, a handsome and successful businessman. During the course of the show, we see Mahi falling for Ishan, being betrayed by him and finally getting proposed by him. A quintessential young woman would have happily accepted this proposal for whom it could have been an opportunity of lifetime but for Mahi its a mistake. By the end, she realizes that she is an individual whose aim is not to chase the love of her life but to be happy and marriage cannot offer her happiness. Her childhood friend Shiv falls for her too for the kind of person she is ,thus making her desirable due to her unconventionality, but Mahi rejects his proposal too.
Rejecting two incredibly handsome and successful men takes a lot of courage but one's happiness is the most important thing that one should work for. Her rejection of both the men might be seen as an unpragmatic decision by others but she makes it not from the point of view of a young fat woman waiting to be married but from that of an individual who cannot marry for someone else's satisfaction if her heart does not lie in it. She doesn't marry someone to please them against her own will, but follows her own desire and runs away leaving Ishan at the altar, for she finally realizes that marriage is not the only happy ending a woman deserves. The end of the show suggests that even if its something as small as a Wimpy's burger or the chicken nuggets that gives her happiness, she and for that matter anyone should do what they want instead of taking big decisions like marriage just because "its their age" or "they might not find the right one again" and pleasing the society and their relatives who do not have to do anything with their life.
