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.

[@Christflames2025]

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

[@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. 🙏❤❤❤

[@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 😊

[@Pp-yi7nj]

This family needs their own show. Period ❤

[@smithaday9225]

The children are so loving and respectful

[@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!

[@deeparao4804]

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

[@ZarnaGarg]

Much love!

[@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.

[@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 ❤

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@allaboutweddings03]

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

[@lipikamit]

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

[@Babybluepretty01]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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!!!😂😂😂

[@BG-fm5od]

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

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha thank you!

[@moonmoon5531]

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

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha right!

[@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!

[@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.

[@amberrodriguez9559]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@kkllvv6065]

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

[@ZarnaGarg]

:D

[@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!

[@sonamdolkar5066]

I just love you all 😂😂😂 Poor Mom is roasted 😂😂😂 You all are very adorable ❤❤❤❤

[@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!

[@robo1789]

i absolutely adore the wisdom of these three.❤

[@anupk0209]

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

[@ZarnaGarg]

Thank you!!

[@PR-yg9zm]

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

[@deepthymenon2839]

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

[@ZarnaGarg]

Yess!

[@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

[@lindamarocco4583]

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

[@ZarnaGarg]

Ahh! Much love!

[@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

[@user-fe7dr2ce9q]

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. :)

[@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.

[@ChroniclesofNothing2023]

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

[@ZarnaGarg]

Aw thank you!

[@berthasmith9567]

Veer...top of the class😮 I'm 79...born Cape Town South Africa...Migrated...NSW...Australia..( (44yrs)

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha! He knows his stuff!

[@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.

[@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!

[@jacechopra]

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

[@user-bm3uu4if3f]

This is hilarious! I love your family dynamics.

[@vaishalimurthy6023]

Zarna - Please consider doing a show in Seattle.

[@kavyag4607]

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

[@ZarnaGarg]

Thank you!!

[@captainhindsight1]

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

[@lindamarocco4583]

Veer is a superstar!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ZarnaGarg]

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.

[@louseq2120]

OMG Zarna! You are just like me - always have to be right 😂😂😂. All of you get an ‘A’ for putting yourselves out there.

[@malemnganbiayekpam6789]

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

[@kayyomars]

They call themselves ‘dysfunctional’ but they’re actually really mature when talking about stuff, I’m jealous

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha fair!

[@pyvonne9055]

You all get an A. You all make me laugh so much. I just love watching you all 😂.

[@divyanshi1996]

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

[@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!!

[@pattysalegna-killeen821]

Happy New Year snd I so enjoy you and the family😊

[@ZarnaGarg]

Happy New Year!!

[@catherinejohnson7460]

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

[@jacechopra]

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

[@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..

[@LL-tg5bn]

The A+ grade goes to Shalabh for complementing his wife, being on her side in this episode and wanting to spend quality time with Zarna. He has game. ;-)

[@lindamarocco4583]

I think you all get an A grade for adding different things to the podcast!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@ZarnaGarg]

Aw thank you!

[@archanas214]

I somehow understand zarna's points in this episode❤❤

[@maureendawkins9753]

I swears you guys sound like my family, love it.

[@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.

[@lindamarocco4583]

Zoya is a superstar too!!!

[@ZarnaGarg]

She alright

[@InternationalHookUp]

Hahah she aight

[@belagurung3222]

A+ to Zarna. Happy New Year to you all. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉. Stay blessed, safe, healthy and happy together. 💯👏👌👍☝🤞😍😍😍😍😍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🤎❤❤🤎🤎fm- England 🇬🇧 U.K.

Happy New Year!

[@rumaahmed6447]

OMG! It was so entertaining 😂 loved thoroughly!! I have three kids and I 💯 can relate to this family drama 🤣🤣🤣 my “A+++” goes to the dad for his patience and supporting his wife and the mother. My husband would exactly do the same thing 😂 best wishes for you all ❤❤❤

[@ZarnaGarg]

Aw thank you!

[@marlenepolinik3302]

Absolutely hysterical...

[@marlenepolinik3302]

I'm moving in...I could be Auntie Mar...lol

[@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!

[@ruthnoronha8206]

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

[@tinaroberts5858]

Omg, I love this family!❤

[@ZarnaGarg]

Muah!

[@frimavalentine4756]

Brij/ Zoya duo always stick with each other though their opinions are sometimes different ..OMG Shalab is hilarious ..😂 He just wants your time .. Husband of the year

[@karmatsering73]

Love this family,veer deserves A grade.

[@kadambariprasad208]

Didi mediating fights between a sibling and parent is so relatable lol!! I did this a lot growing up. Now my little brother is the mediator.

Veer gets the A grade .. substantiated well abt the gift giving idea .. the youngest clearly has the best clarity ..he should b heard more

[@ZarnaGarg]

I agree!!

[@makermagazine5853]

Brij & Zoya are so patient.

[@angelcross9966]

Happy new year Garg Family 🎉

[@ZarnaGarg]

Happy new year!!

[@tia9906]

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 😂

[@ZarnaGarg]

Aw haha!!

[@mn8696]

We need part 2 pls! Definitely should have merch when you’re ready to talk /no!!!! Too funny. Lzughed so hard 😂😂😂😂😂❤

[@ZarnaGarg]

Haha soon!!

[@ankitghosh7935]

I am not a part of the family,but honestly I find shalab immensely manipulative in most of the episodes.... But I really understood his importance in this particular episode.... Like the way he tried to ease the situation with the airpod and meal question.... Also, the last answer I feel was to lighten up ma'ams mood, which was evidently low after brij and zoya gangibg up on you....

[@nishap43]

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

[@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 🎉

[@ZarnaGarg]

Aw thank you!

[@verahlyneakinyi6618]

I give Aunty Zarna an A grade for how she held her end & handled the fight conversation with grace ...

[@nirmalajohn3732]

Veers comments are great .Great podcast & very entertaining.

[@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.

[@lindaibarra1823]

I give Zoya & Brig A+!!

[@ZarnaGarg]

Fair!!

[@sueysomerville]

Hysterically funny!

[@user-kq4ec1ur7p]

Good communication! I just hope the kids give more appreciation and gratitude to the mother. I think children don't give enough time understanding and patience to their moms. A lot of people don't realize how difficult it is to look after a home and the people that live in it and still have a job. Like I always say wait until you have children.

[@user-iw8jf7lp6x]

Love it, however I am constantly looking at the plant behind Zarna's head, thinking it is a bun of her hair😆

[@vishakhabharti1443]

This was just heartwarming to watch. All families are so similar 😆😆❤️

[@ZarnaGarg]

Aw so glad

[@Sunaina_mehta]

I don't think brij is in the wrong here but i understand zarna's side..its nice that moms care so much..btw all of your podcasts are really funny!!!

[@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.
