- The dialogue writer emphasizes Srikant's confusion, not mockery.
- Season 3 reflects character growth and changing family dynamics.
Sumit Arora, the dialogue writer for the recently released Season 3 of The Family Man, has offered insights into the show's viral 'they/them' pronoun scene. He explained that the character Srikant Tiwari's response was rooted in his background as a small-town father grappling with unfamiliar concepts, emphasizing his confusion over his daughter Dhriti's identity.
Arora detailed how Srikant's dialogue, particularly his line about Hindi being 'saved,' reflects his bewilderment rather than disrespect. The writer also highlighted the conscious effort to portray the evolving dynamics within the Tiwari family, with children Dhriti and Atharv now grown and influencing their interactions with their parents.
The new season also explores the personal lives of other characters, such as JK's quest for marriage. Arora discussed how these individual struggles and the generational differences between characters, like Srikant's upbringing in Banaras versus his children's in Mumbai, add depth to the narrative.
