I felt like the discussions in marriage were valid and each person represented a true viewpoint on the human experience of intimacy. I couldn’t nitpick at what any of them said but I feel like they could have a deeper discussion concerning relationships and intimacy at interspersed moments going forward. As it is, Anupamaa is about the relationships we enter, build, nurture, or sour so while I want to watch Anu’s journey — it would be nice if they could accurately show the dynamics & potential results of these other types of relationship lived.
