I get the feeling Yakub may be following orders from someone else- in a dramatic twist, it could be Vikrant. While most of the characters are portrayed as relatively normal in Indian politics, and Aditya, as a real hero, unlike Rahul Gandhi (who is a subject of jokes on the internet), if this was supposed to be the Nehru-Gandhi family, they've somehow either exposed or smeared muck all over Vadra. Either he's part of the plan, or he'll end up dead, bringing relief to viewers- the latter likely, since he is not a very relevant character in the plot.

It's not entirely a reference to the Nehru-Gandhis. The real Nehru-Gandhi family were referenced when the show mentioned the assassinations of Indira and Rajiv. Besides, we don't hear of Maneka Gandhi pushing for her son Varun to be the Prime Minister of India. I feel, just to distract viewers, they'll stuff in parts of Narendra Modi in Aditya Singhania.

LOL well its apparent since they are the main sponsors of the show they won't lose any opportunity for promoting the brand. Though I'm not much into cars, I admit I haven't been able to see clearly the brand of most of the vehicles shown except for the Merc which seems to be shown quite prominently. Done intentionally? Who knows.

Strangely, the only other Safaris in the show have not been highlighted and their monograms, hidden. Even JSR starts off driving a Mahindra XUV.

Mercedes has largely been tight-lipped about it. They did, however, force Danny Boyle to censor their brand in Slumdog Millionaire, because they didn't want their car driving through Dharavi, the slum colony. What's happening here is an outright brand slam.

The show just keeps getting bigger. I feel it deserves a home video release.

Probably they'll have a DVD release by the end of the 1st season.

Missing the show already? Friday round the corner. Is JSR faking it? Did he use a tranquiliser bullet on Nikita? What is Nikita's real plan? What next for WNCC? And whose orders is Yakub following? Let's wait and watch. Hopefully they won't cut the 12AM run.

@Arjun-Even I am damn sure that this WNCC is a fishy thing...

Adityas character is fab..he is more of a human than any one else in the show...

What do you think of Ajinkya Deo's acting as 'Abhay' so far? I feel he's done well so far, and should get more screen time on this show.

That Jai-Trisha scene melted quite a few hearts. Nicely done by Anil and Tisca.

Naina-Aditya-Divya = Sonia-Rahul-Priyanka. Vikrant (Divya's drunk, abusive husband) = Robert Vadra. Mehek Ahuja of WNCC = Barkha Dutt of NDTV. KK=Digvijay Singh? Megha-Prithvi = Maneka-Varun? A journalist on an online portal expects this show to be censored by the Government. Already the real Barkha Dutt has mocked this show for being a scene-by-scene copy. Hope the Government doesn't shut the show down.

Hope to see the identities of 'Abhay' and 'Max' revealed.

I need to know the code for "Members Only" for the Body Count and Casualty Ward thread.

If you follow political news in India and this show, does the timing of the assassination attempt on Aditya Singhania scare you? An attempt to shoot him via sniper rifle failed, but created a lot of panic. Flash forward to Sunday, at an East Indian city, in the late morning.

@Arjun Patna blasts right??

@Sourya Patna blasts indeed. The only difference was that you didn't have a sniper, but a sapper- instead of guns, there were bombs. The scary part about the real-life attempt was the bomb right under the stage!
