Bravo had a huge hit in 2021 when it premiered Family Karma.

Bravo It was a huge hit in 2021 when it first aired. Family KarmaThe series explored the lives of traditional American Indian families living in Miami, Florida. But what was different was that the network didn’t just portray young people making their way in the world, but also their parents. The show offered a comprehensive look at how difficult it was to have one foot in the old world and the other in the new. The pressure and drama of living your best life was real. The struggles between divorce, weddings, and finding the perfect job were real. So when Bravo decided to pause the show, fans were left scratching their heads.

The Karma family story was real.

I don’t know about you, but watching Amrit Kabai’s coming out story to his grandmother left me in tears. The professional lawyer had been dating his partner for years, but his grandmother always told him he was just a roommate. However, during Season 2, Amrit bravely told his grandmother the truth, and she showed nothing but love for her grandson. Amrit and Nicholas Kochukos filmed their lavish Indian wedding in hopes of encouraging other couples to live their authentic lives. To be honest, there wasn’t a dry eye in the audience. Personally, I want more stories like this from Bravo and less fighting.

Vishal Parvani, who was the class clown of the group, opened up about his choice to get sober in season 3. In the first two seasons, Vishal was the life of the party, often exaggerating his self-presentation. But in an emotional conversation with Amrit, he said, “The problem is that I lie about alcohol. No matter what kind of lie, I shouldn’t lie about it. Even here now, I don’t feel comfortable being sober at a party. I use alcohol to compensate. I don’t think I’m interesting to people. I don’t think I’m fun when I’m not drinking. I just feel sick. I think I have a fucking drinking problem.” The problem was real for Amrit and viewers were interested in his recovery journey.

Karma Family Wins GLADD Award

Family Karma winning the GLADD Award for Best Reality Show came as no surprise to its die-hard fans. It’s a real shame that the show is no longer in production, and I would argue that Bravo sometimes doesn’t know how to read the room when it comes to its audience. Family Karma wasn’t properly promoted and there was no reunion. But the network is more than happy to watch it watch a three-part Real Housewives reunion. Something is wrong here.

It’s easy to see why Family Karma won awards. The show was a breath of fresh air that highlighted real-life friendships. Upon accepting the award, fans realized that the win meant something to Amrit, who shared a story. The lawyer shared that he ran for class president while in high school, but was “tall, skinny, kind of awkward, and very introverted.” Unfortunately, he didn’t get the votes and shared that he “wanted to disappear.” But Amrit perked up, saying, “But now, standing on this stage and winning this award in this moment, I feel like I’m class president.”

The staff wants to keep Family Karma from being put on pause.
