They decide to get professional help from Dr. Gulfam Rastogi (Denzil Smith) who puzzles the couple with various questions, including about Rishabh's annoying mother Seema Malhotra (Sushmita Mukherjee).

Remakes are a tricky business. Once you've licensed an existing property, there's really not much stopping you from making a carbon copy of the whole thing. But there are a few unwritten rules, especially with a sitcom, if the writers are worried about concepts such as originality and relevance. One, you must minimise the number of jokes that are lifted altogether. And two, you must transfer the on-screen universe to your own culture and time. Mind the Malhotras — Amazon's newest Indian original series, out now on Prime Video — does partly cater to the latter point, but it's shameless in disregarding the first one. Most of its jokes — at least those in the first two episodes that critics had access to — have simply been lifted from the Israeli original, La Famiglia.
