As per mums and step-mums - I think that though Priya's mum is more inclined towards Aisha, I don't think she is a step mum for Priya. To me it seemed that (and this is only based on one episode, so I could be way wrong here) she had probably given up on Priya as she probably didn't want to be Miss "Bhubaneswar" like her mother, or Miss Mumbai, AND she did not get married in "the right time". She belittles Priya's job as just a "tuition class" when Priya corrects her that it is more than that.

It gave me the vibe of Elizabeth and Mrs Bennett from Pride and Prejudice - Mrs Bennett did not hate her daughter, but since Elizabeth was least interested in marriage and/or frivolous things, she could not relate to her and instead focused on the younger girls.

As I say, I could be wrong and she could be a stepmother - but Ram's mother seems the likely candidate for that, and two step-mothers in one show would be over the top, and would not exactly set the right example of stepmothers, as not all of them are EK-style.

I didn't have too high expectations.It was blooper galore & usually any hindi movie/show has it.

It will take sometime to see how everything works out & whetehr or not this show is worth watching.

For now I liked Ram & Sakshi...Priya's mother can tone down a bit.

Good to see your do batein tin...lets keep our fingers crossed.

hmmm... I was little eager to watch this show since i like the main characters and she starts it well... the first epi is filled with bloopers so what's going to be it? why can't someone make a sensible serial? why do these makers think all the people watching are dumb!
she will definitely kill the show. till she butchers it we will wait and see...

buy the ways i haven't seen it just read here and there whr can i get the link? 😉
love kamy

@bold--- WORD! i seemed to draw that parallel between the characters as well.
Priya's mum doesn't seem like the stereotypical "evil" vamp-mum, she is just indifferent. it won't be right to say that she doesn't love her daughter Priya right now because we haven't heard much from her end. It could be that she might have been equally doting mother to Priya but when Priya seemed to show different interests in life (that is not being a model and such), she might have grown aloof from her daughter. Sometimes, some parents seem to pay more attention to the child through whom they seem to live their dreams than the other child. And this could be it in Priya's case as well.

@Ram's step mum--- first of all, bad choice of actress to play a step mum of a 40 year old man. She looks more like a sister to him than mother and then to hear him call her out "maa" is just weird.

Hi yaara..Wonderful post...and ofcourse Ram cleaning glass was an epic scene...That flower jewellery was so random..and Girls drooling on Ram's photo was even randomer😆
What I dont understand is that Priya said she taught TOEFL classes..and she was giving LOVE lecture🤣
I loved the comparision of Pride and Prejudice to Priya and her mom...and you are bang on!! she is as shallow as Mrs. Bennet..and just as cranky and has the same pitched high voice also😆

I liked Ram's friend's character though..his concern for him and his care for his friend and his best wishes that he finds someone who would care for him as much was really good..his voice over and Ram's face made a good combination...and the end scene was very good too...Sad but still setting the pace for the story😳
So it is not going to be completely a shred businessman and an idealist woman's love story...it is going ot be the milan of two 'lone hearted' people ..and I say it is wayyy better 😳

i liked that bit too and it seemed different because normally you would see the character himself or his lover narrate such parts whereas here the character's best friend does so. After all, the only person who knows Ram the most up until now is just his best friend.

Yup ..but this gave a good feeling and we also got that the character is genuinely nice and wishes Ram the best...May be he will be used as the cupid stupid later😳

@Amy - lol on Ram's mother. She does look more like a "younger stepmother" than a woman who could feasibly have given birth to Ram 😆

I agree on the bold bit. Sometimes its not intentional but bad parenting nonetheless, that they are simply unable to relate to children that are not 'like them', especially mothers and daughters. It may be interesting to see what Priya's relationship with her father is like.

@Angel - thanks hun.

Hi Shrusti, thanks for your great post. Priya's mother does have that shrill, manic thing in common with Mrs Bennett 😆 Ram is not exactly like Mr Darcy - in that he is not prideful and mean (or, at least we hope he won't behave with Priya like that) but I did like that his character was a little hatke . I liked the narration of his friend too - as you and Amy say, it is different from the main character narrating his own story. And it shows that this friend has very close knowledge of Ram - perhaps a bachpan ka dost or something like that?

I also like that it is a story for two lone-hearted souls 😳 it makes you like the characters that much more.
