خلفية ثقافية
The TV show 'Khandevane' became a cultural phenomenon by promoting laughter as a health benefit and social duty. Classical poets like Hafez often use laughter (khande) as a metaphor for the blooming of a flower or the soul's joy. In 'Ta'arof', a small laugh can be used to soften a 'no' or to show humility when receiving a compliment. In Afghanistan, 'khandidan' is used similarly, but the accent and some surrounding idioms may differ, often being more formal.
