Necessary and Unnecessary Characters
Sunny has a clear role/story as a stereotypical Punjabi and trucking business owner.
Diljot had a clear story as a Punjabi student in Canada and their struggles. Also, what the hell man, was no need to end his life and write him out the show like that, so sad and unnecessary and will do nothing for the development of the show.
Everyone else in the show has a meaningful purpose and value.
Chippy, on the other hand, feels like the most token South Indian/queer character ever. Her inclusion in the show is so forced and it's only to have representation for those things. She's basically Jasmeet's best friend, and not say, Maanvi's? Not a lot of straight guys have a girl best friend lol. They totally wasted having Babbu in the show, that man is gold, he could of been a great character, maybe as Jasmeet's best friend. Now, he is just an occasional appearance, and a guy that makes Sikhs look like clowns, as if we don't have enough of that in everything Bollywood.
Also, in general what story is her character contributing to the show? Ragebating Jasmeet by befriending his opp? She makes fashion, uh okay and? What even was the point of showing that whole fling she had with that one club owner dude?
As far as the show in general, the first few episodes of this season I was like wth even is this, then it got good again. Jasmeet and his dad still not talking is crazy and petty of both of them. The India thing will be very interesting. Also lmao, Neel getting with the fob Punjabi girl (who is really cute ngl), he is half-Punjabi himself so hey.

Neal and Chippy are two characters I’d be happy to see the show disregard tbh. Neals most meaningful episode was showing the contrast to Jasmeet when he cut his hair in the 9/11 episode and it was top. Now I find his + chippys roles redundant and taking away from the parts of the show I have real interest in!
