Every morning, anxiously await your update to see if anything positive happening, but NAHI.
I had so hoped this show won't go the usual ITV way.
U know I participated in a Star scriptwriting contest and got selected as well - didn't join coz they had a 2 year contract. But at the time, over a 2 day residential testing process at Taj Lands End (they spent a bunch of money on us) made us write stories, dialogues, do narrations, take ongoing plots fwd, writing complex characters, interweaving various threads in seamless but complex plotting etc etc .
They made tall claims about privileging writing, taking the road less travelled blah blah. I genuinely thought that w the first ever positive masculinity portrayal (GK as AK of course) in ITV drama, they were finally acting on their word. I know you all have mentioned MLs like Barun Sobti, Karan Singh Grover etc. I checked them out and they were not a patch on the AK character. I mean they are still pretty toxic. I don't find rich arrogant MCPs sexy at all. And to me, that's what they seemed like, albeit just by reading brief plot synopsis. I'm sure the actors are great, but the characters didn't have the lethal combo of success, humility, good looks, sexiness and a genuine respectful attitude toward everyone esp. women.
Gaurav Bhattacharjee, STAR's content head chewed our brains off on "smart writing", "breaking the stereotypical mould" blah blah blah.
PAR NAHI.
But honestly, Gaurav ki wajah se abhi choda nahi jaa raha yeh "sardard" of a show. Koi toh bataa koi "de-addiction" remedy for this sexyswag ki "lath".
