The Zarna Garg Family Podcast | Ep. 11: The Gift-Giving Gambit

[@shreyachand8442]

I'm 25 right now, but when I look at these family podcasts, I know that's how I'm going to raise my family. Communicative yet respectful. Wonderfully done Zoya Mam.

[@ConscienceofChrist]

I have searched and searched and just can't find a better family than this. Laugh. It is the way to heaven.

[@Pp-yi7nj]

This family needs their own show. Period ❤

[@deanadavoudiasl1971]

I love this family! When Veer tries to talk, I think he needs the rest of the fam to make a little room for him to speak up ! He has insightful things to say but he doesn’t always repeat himself if his first attempt at chiming in isn’t heard because other people are already talking. ❤❤❤

[@ZarnaGarg]

Right! Thank you for tuning in!

[@nadymaechling9958]

Veer gets an A. Thank you Zarna for these Gift Giving Podcast. It’s also entertaining and i myself give practical gifts and now i am convinced that kids should only get their one wish at Christmas time and that i should not give toothbrushes nor toothpaste 😊

[@deeparao4804]

Beautiful family! A grade goes to the dad for always supporting Zarna.

[@ZarnaGarg]

Much love!

[@Loop12345]

zarna is a typical control freak with all respect! raising calm kids are very important in dog eat world of dog eat. keep those charged emotion in balance is a hard work to do. out in harsh world, learning to cope with daily changes in a productive way is very important. you guys have s great family dynamic mixed with laughter and honesty .. thank you for these podcasts!

[@indikapathirana8337]

I never thought this family podcasts will be the most favourite thing to watch in my life. Thank you for being so honest. Some ppl likes to make things up to make them looks like the best family while you guys makes it flow as it is which makes us feels like we are part of this family ❤

[@megshawskitchen]

I absolutely love the younger son, Veer. He is quiet, smart and is the most patience human being ever. I like how openly you all speak to each other. Welldone Aunty Zee ! What an amazing family you have

[@cathyrooney3220]

Agree Veer seems of have wisdom beyond his years! He's admirableble I'm 58 wish was quiet like Veer.

[@BG-fm5od]

Veer get an A grade! He is so practical at his age it’s hilarious.

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha thank you!

[@saswatideb8828]

Thank you Zarna Garg family for yet another hilarious and engaging podcast to discuss a very important family issue. May God bless you all with great health and happiness. 🙏❤❤❤

[@lipikamit]

Completely hooked to your channel Zarna. Thanks a ton for introducing us to your beautiful family. May your tribe grow.

[@SS-qp2ex]

Love how the kids are always laughing at their Mom and Dad's crazy stories. The family even when they disagree don't take swipes at each other, aren't nasty to each other and don't demean each other. Beautiful family! Every single one of them is respectful to each other.

[@adegome]

I really enjoyed this eposide! I come from a strict African background and I have tried to communicate with my children on more flexible grounds but sometimes my old self just springs up. Great job being able to talk like this. I've been able to have open conversations with my kids "though not always on a low tone" but this is amazing. Keep bringing them 😍. I think Zoya is the sobering factor here 😆. Love you guys

[@ZarnaGarg]

Much love!

[@VH-lx4eh]

😂 Love all the insights on family fight, these kids r so wise. This podcast is way better than any other reality show on any streaming platform.

[@Chique867]

I love your relationship with each other as a family. You all listen well to each other. And your kids are so intelligent and so respectful. And Zarna, I 'hold on the fight' too at times!!!😂😂😂

[@mom2pnp]

This is so real !! Kids are so ready to jump on mom and criticize her and go soft on dad.. I agree with exaggerating words by mom - i am a mom and I do the same but it’s more of a frustration than actually mean those words. It’s funny how kids immediately pay attention to those mean words and forget all those compliments we give them.. kudos to an honest conversation..

[@ZarnaGarg]

For real! Thank you for watching!

[@tinahawkins4780]

Finally made it to your family podcast Zarna! I love love you guys and really enjoyed this episode! Some of this really hit home I battled the same as you and Brij with my now 25 year old awesome son. We still butt heads but my son has matured a lot and I have grown to have more of an open mind to hearing his perspective and being more respectful of his feelings and it does work to resolve the problem at hand.

[@susalazar63]

He's not part of the family tree project 😂😂 I loved every bit of this, this is exactly my family dynamics here 😅😅 Plus giving my A to the very cool Veer and Mr. Salabh Dad for keeping straight faces throughout most of this episode lol

[@ZarnaGarg]

Lol!

[@SrisshtiSaini]

I have accidentally come across your content and since then I can't stop myself watching all of your videos. Love you Zarna aunty!

[@smithaday9225]

The children are so loving and respectful

[@Babybluepretty01]

I get where Zarna is coming from, but brij and Zoya won this, also I love how they stick up for each other!!

[@AmberxLovelyy]

I believe putting the ornaments and lights and even tinsel on the Christmas Tree is what makes the moment special Zarna ❤❤

[@sunitmmm]

I stand with Zarna, I can feel exactly what she felt and you had the right to be angry. I have exactly the same style of being angry at someone as Zarna. Words used by her while she was angry, I think it’s all justified, someway or another it just shows how deeply she loves you and your siblings the she is purely/truly emotionally open and can potentially say or express anything about you it can be extremely bad or Extremely good (Very rare) believe me when you grow up, move miles away and wouldn’t get enough time to spend with her these words are the ones you will remember and then and only then you will be able to understand her love behind those harsh words, it’s been close to 8 years since I move out and I miss everything so much her good and her bad( my mom). I understand Brij prospective too I have a young brother and mother’s tends to love little ones more.

[@larisamunsch106]

This episode made me sad actually. I didn’t like how Brij and Zoya so persistently disagreed with Zarna, although probably they were correct. I believe it may be a cultural and generational difference in how they look at the same situation and perceive it so differently. Brij is becoming very independent and eager to experience his life on his own. He can say now: “When you are ready to talk.” Most probably these conflicts will decrease once he leaves for college. However these times together are so precious. Zarna you have done a great job in raising them. Shalabh is very supportive. Brij is finding his own voice and sometimes this manifests itself like this. Sending love.

[@kkllvv6065]

Love this family and how they are comfortable speaking their opinion.

[@ZarnaGarg]

:D

[@robo1789]

i absolutely adore the wisdom of these three.❤

[@hellol4045]

Uncle shalabh namaste 🙏 you are the voice of reason in this family. Also good job veer for being understanding. Very typical south asian problems that is all i can say.

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha!

[@cathyrooney3220]

Veer and husband tie both try keeping the peace, love how dad said take back the word hater, he's right, mothers are never haters! Reason for mothers actions are love! Misinterpreted love! Always a pleasure to view u all enteracting A+ for you all! Thanks 4 Sharing!

[@franpost9800]

I love watching your “ dysfunctional” family. Zarna, , you are so funny as you always make the podcast contrary to what the children feel. I laugh the entire time when you purposely never agree to make the show the most comedic. Kudos to you all.

[@pinksk85]

Zoya & Brij…definitely taken after Zarna, both fiesty (& future lawyers!)☺️ Veer taken after Shalabh, both cool as a cucumber 😊 Love your content aunty Z!!! (Still waiting for you to come to Dallas!)

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha coming soon!!! Will keep you in the loop!

[@lindamarocco4583]

This family is amazing and wonderful!!!…Love them all!!!!💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@ZarnaGarg]

Ahh! Much love!

[@skandavasuki-ue3pb]

Shalab got the rizz. Had me laughing the whole time! Best dad and husband of all time! A+++

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha he sure does

[@anupk0209]

OMG Zarna aunty!! A+ to you!! Loved every bit of the podcast!!

[@ZarnaGarg]

Thank you!!

[@moonmoon5531]

If this isn't the most accurate representation of family drama on the holidays idk what it 😭

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha right!

[@PR-yg9zm]

You all get an A 😂 So endearing and entertaining ❤ Looking for to the next episode!

[@sanjanaali8831]

Zarna- Brij is right here 💯 percent You are so lucky to have kids like these

[@prajakta1111]

hey guys, I'm from india and the holiday family drama is so real, the way zoya is defending brij, is literally how my elder brother does. this is so entertaining i just cant-😂

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha!

[@Gypsygirl9]

Friggin hillarious. Omg..poor kid probably figured since he did not go with to get the tree, he would unwrap and move it outta the way..and suddenly removing the wrapper is a big special "thing". Lol. Zarna finding drama in everything!❤❤❤❤

[@valeriemahabir7997]

Zarna creates the drama in everything!

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha!! Thanks for tuning in!

[@jacechopra]

This one has been the warmest and so far, on the first seven minutes A+ is rolling between Zarna and Veer right now.

[@nashvillefilminstitute3380]

Zarna get the "A". I can identify with Zarna "Let me know when you are ready to talk" coming from the child would upset me. I see it from the childs perspective, he is being mature, direct and giving space to his mom. Obviously , I am that Indian mom and Zarna's generation :-) You'll are my favorite family

[@ChroniclesofNothing2023]

Been waiting for you to release the next episode! More of these sooner please❤

[@ZarnaGarg]

Aw thank you!

[@enarcadie1105]

You guys are so much fun, and with all the drama and banter, it's so heartwarming to see how much genuine love you all have for each other. Hugs to all, you all win in my book. 💕

[@ZarnaGarg]

Aw thank you!

[@catherinejohnson7460]

Omg I love this family. Zarna gets an F?! So funny. You’re all so great. More please!!

[@RaquelClarin]

This is hilarious! I love your family dynamics.

[@Ghvdyill]

Zoya is so thoughtful and well spoken and even though zarna makes fun Of her, we can see the joy on zarna’s face when zoya speaks. :)

[@divyanshi1996]

This is truly very sweet ❤ lots of love to you and your beautiful family ❤

[@kavyag4607]

Really love the podcasts!! Good job zarna on pulling thid off🎉

[@ZarnaGarg]

Thank you!!

[@deepthymenon2839]

We have to measure our words, even if it is with our children. They are individuals and need our respect.

[@ZarnaGarg]

Yess!

[@captainhindsight1]

Yass please. Need merch that says 'Let me know when you want to talk. No.' 💙💙

[@rachealselvaranijames3547]

I loved watching this video, reminded me of my childhood, my mum was always the drama Queen and we let her have her own way just to keep peace at home BUT we knew she loved us unconditionally and would protect us at any given time. It's

[@ZarnaGarg]

Thank you!!

[@IiYoga60]

My dearest Zarna: your kids remind me of my adult kids….. I am often told that, I am passive aggressive, dramatic, emotionally immature, give us gifts that we want and not what you think we need, grow-up, etc.etc.etc. (Once my daughter discovered the gift I was giving her for Christmas, it was a Harry Potter book and I shouted at her for nosing around) And you know what, after seeing this episode, I think my kids are right 😂 because kids always speak the truth! A plus to your kids and A plus plus to you, for always wanting to do the right thing but being told off. 😹 I see myself in you 😆

[@ZarnaGarg]

Aw thank you

[@rochellemendonca8347]

I am the oldest sister with two younger brothers just like your family zarna. And somehow like you jumped on zoya at the end, i get jumped on too by my mum (though shes mostly right) for defending my younger brothers. This was hilarious to watch. Reminds me of the times we'd argue.

[@frimavalentine4756]

OmG Aunty Zarna .. I can see my kids telling me similar things when they grow up to be your kids age .. I also throw around words just like any brown mom where we don’t really mean those words .. You guys are so real .. Conversations handled so well..

[@jacechopra]

Zarna truly is the younger child who needs to play more sports to be more sport. ❤

[@lindamarocco4583]

Veer is a superstar!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha!

[@ruthnoronha8206]

Veer, you really are an amazing guy!!! So cool and collected in the heat!!! Reminds me of my family’s heated debates.

[@ZarnaGarg]

Happy New Year!

[@Ace_Of_Bace]

A to the whole family! Both Zarna and Shalabh have razed such a household that un-rapping a tree without the youngest is an issue because they love each other to the point of not wanting to take even a 2-minute of joy from him. A for Zarnas attention to Veer A to Shalabh for backing his wife (always) A to Brij for wanting to help the family with the tree (without being asked) A to Zoya for being everyone's confidant from across the country! A to Veer for being such a good kid, that everyone loves him so much! A to me for commenting so thoroughly.

[@ajj9694]

I think most families have similar disagreements and hurt or angry feelings sometimes. Often over silly things. Adolescents feel misunderstood and slighted by parents. Parents - and often Mom - feels ganged up on by the rest of the family. The difference here is the kids feel free to discuss their real feelings and the family all have spirited but respectful discourse. That’s no small feat. Zarna and Shalabh are doing a great job of raising a loving family and supporting each other.

[@vaishalimurthy6023]

Zarna - Please consider doing a show in Seattle.

[@sueysomerville]

Hysterically funny!

[@malemnganbiayekpam6789]

I wish my family talked about all the issues we have like you guys do..... ahh and my A+ goes to veer

I wanna hear more of Veer. He is such an Amazing young kid, really! ❤

[@cathyrooney3220]

Veer is so smar! Business is what holidays seem for every holiday stores r over doing it. Day after any holiday stores have next holiday items to see, shoving things down our throats.

[@enagreco3280]

Maybe rewrap the tree and start over with the placement of the tree. Mom appears to have wanted to capture the special experience of the unwrapping of the tree. She loves her kids fiercely. It's not hate. It's the passion for capturing special moments, ie the unwrapping of the tree.

[@ZarnaGarg]

Good point!

[@bananisaha4375]

Veer ..OMG..he is soo above all these family tantrums..he has such simple solutions for the daily squabbles!!

[@shiningsherri]

A+ ❤ To the entire family. You guys are so real with your topics and opinions. Veer is very very very intelligent at his age, he's very understanding too. Great episode. Happy New Year 🎉

Love this! We’re 3 sisters and have this very similar situation with our parents. I can totally see my mom sending me a “No.” as well 😂

Aw haha!!

[@theresaroybal9599]

These kids will realize when they get married and have their own kids. You should always take your partners side if you disagree never in front of the kids. Your loyalty should always be with your spouse your kids will leave but your spouse will be with you forever.

[@Yankee717]

I am Team Zarna here. Brij was being sooooo dramatic :) Zarna is the Mom - even though this family is very open and honest -- the Mom should have the ultimate respect.

[@MS-ov9sv]

I am with Zoya and Brij on the tree thing 😂..A++

This is so hilarious coz its so so relatable😂
