Oh ruination comes later...atleast initially if the combination is right, a character, a show makes a mark...if not in terms of TRPs, atleast SOME audience somewhere can appreciate the effort that went about into getting the combination right...
Warna most shows toh don't even bother making the effort right off the bat...wohi same cliched characterizations...bubby girl-brooding guy, hate shaadi blah blah.
Baad mein jo bhi ho, I can appreciate the fact that atleast for a few months I got to watch an interesting character played out so well.
