The Comedy of Age: Saloni Gaur's Side-Splitting Portrayal of Seniors at Family Functions

The family functions are a mix of joy, laughter, and, of course, the delightful quirks of the elderly people in our lives. Saloni Gaur is a comedy content creator who skillfully captures these moments by humorously portraying the elderly characters. Let's lighten up this look at how the elderly people often react at family gatherings.

The Dance Floor Dilemma

As soon as the music starts, you can hear whispers: “Who's that kid dancing there?”. An adult would say, “Oh, that's like Pradeep's youngest child. But what does he do? We have been hearing for years that he is preparing to become DM."

The Food Requests

Food is always a hot topic. The old woman shouts, “Brother, please bring some soft puri or raita. My teeth can't handle anything hard anymore! Son, please make a cup of tea. No sugar, please—use molasses instead.”

The Dance Complaints

And then there's dancing! One elder might warn, "Chintu, tell your mother to stop dancing so much. She'll come home and say her back hurts!" Meanwhile, someone else might say, “Sister, those are just excuses for not helping out.”

Observations from the Sofa

Often you will find the elderly members getting stuck to that sofa, discussing everyone's affairs. “My son asked me to stay here since I am sitting here.”

The Food Situation

It continues the same way during meals. "Now they will bring the food here, and we will eat it. What about the rest of us old folks?" they might ask for themselves. And when someone cuts the cake, you will hear, "Sonu, did Gudiya cut the cake? Bring 4-5 pieces, but check if there's egg in it."

The Generation Gap

There's also a curiosity about young people: “Who's that girl in cut sleeves? Oh, she's Manish's brother-in-law. Nowadays, old folks also don't know about manners."

The Sweet Treats

Finally, as the ceremony comes to a close, the ice cream requests start rolling in. “Daughter, Priya, bring 1-2 bowls of ice cream. Hot or something, I feel a little cold!” And, of course, there's always the reminder: "Come visit me sometime! All this fancy food doesn't sit well with me anymore. I will eat khichdi at home."
