I love that he's literally a millionaire at this point but his parents are somewhat still mad that he's not a dentist for some reason.

Violet the reason is he's Asian LMFAO

[@khazms]

I think it's more so the fact that they can't properly explain or brag about it to family/friends. And it's not necessarily a bad thing to do that, it's cultural as a way to show how proud they are. While I'm sure they're proud, it's .. hard to explain what he does and not everyone "buys" it or understands.

to be honest, immigrants or not most of our parents had to give up their dreams and some of them never actually had that much privilege or time to think about their dreams. it's because of the long lists of hardships and pressure they had on them.

They don’t pressure their children to go to college either, and if they don’t then they better get s job and help pay bills.

Hello Something I have been in search for quite sometime is a connection with somebody that goes beyond vanity. It's very hard to do in this day and age. People can be, somewhat very superficial. On my quest to achieve this I have learnt a lot about human nature. It seems to me that those who are not given traits such as beauty or being wealthy are some of the nicest, kindest and generous people. While the "gorgeous" and well off seem to be the most arrogant and greedy people out there. Of course that's not to say there aren't beautiful kind people out there. I've been in the process of change for a while now and I have made some decent changes but don't you just hate it when people can't let go of your past mistakes. I saw your profile and it intrigued me. I wanted to learn more about who you are and what type of path you would like on in life. Can we talk?

I haven't cried this hard in a long time. Watching Hasan talk to his mother, and listening as she expressed her genuine emotion about her son hit closer to home than I expected. I lost my mother 22 years ago when I was 19 years old. She was the person I strove the hardest to be like. She was always 100% open and honest with me. She died suddenly 2 weeks before my first child was born, and losing her so soon and at a life changing moment left me broken for years. I wish I could sit with her and listen to her describe the moments that she was most proud of me. I'd give anything just to have a moment like this with her just once more.

[@mahedihasan5469]

😭 I don’t know what to say. I hope your mother is in Heaven and I love my mom so much. I ask Allah(GOD) to give my mom long life and very good health. Amen. Life is nothing without Mom and Dad and also we shouldn’t hurt them and disrespect them.

[@BrooklynBeTheBoro]

Mahedi Hasan make sure that you tell her that as often as you can. My mother was loved, and respected by everyone in my neighborhood. In elementary school my classmates would cling to her on field trips when she came along. She was everything that aspired to in life. I was inconsolable for years after her death. I lost all direction, and ceased to care anything except my newborn son. I made sure to tell him all about her as he grew up, and surrounded him with photos of her throughout our home. I still haven't gotten over the pain of never seeing my mother cradling my son in her arms. There are times when I think about it in public, and immediately start crying. Its happened on trains, buses, restaurants, at work; pretty much everywhere. I don't care who sees me when it happens, and I don't care what they think. Seeing Hasan's mom speak to her love, and admiration for him is the closest I'll ever get to hearing it from my mother once more. Your mom deserves to know how much you love her. Don't ever let a day go by without telling her. Thank you for the kind words, btw.

[@mahedihasan5469]

[@BrooklynBeTheBoro]

Neelanjana Chatterjee that isn't something to feel awkward about. Your love for your father, and the pain you experienced over his passing isn't a shameful expression. It's a manifestation of the bond you shared while he was here with you. My mother was my rock. She was a lioness to me, both regal and noble. By her example I learned to always be open and honest with my children, never behaving as if I didn't make mistakes in my early life, yet always expressing my pride and admiration in their accomplishments. My father is still alive, and I never let a day go by without reminding him that I appreciate all the work he put into keeping me and my brothers on a straight path. We lived in a very rough neighborhood in Brooklyn, but I feared my father far more than I feared any of the kids in my neighborhood. He and my mother demanded the best from us and it kept us out of trouble. If you still have your mother make sure you let her know that she is appreciated. And never hang your head when you're remembering what your father meant to you.

[@thaumatomane]

This was so beautiful, especially when the parents talked of their dreams and how they gave them up for their children. I think it is so fascinating how his father was interested in pursuing Bollywood and politics in his youth, and his son is an entertainer and political commentator - yet seemed surprised at his father's youthful passions. It made me feel like his father's dreams were not abandoned, but the half of him that lives o in his son was able to experience them.

Every good mom.

[@charul8437]

@@DocSkincare kids turn out fine, inspite of everything. Infact the ones which are less shielded and go through negligence from parents turn out to be far better than ones who are protected. They're more rough and tough and adept at handling the mean world cz they've been through so much. But Asian parents, that's how they are. It's the fabric out of which Asian families are made. They never push the kids out of the nest and complain when kids rely too much on them. Too many Conflicting emotions in the Asian community. I think they're basically indecisive by nature.
