Different style of romance Two well-known actors returned to prime-time fiction after a hiatus and blew away our minds. We are talking about Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar in Ekta Kapoor's Bade Achche Lagte Hain Yeh Dharti, Yeh Nadiya, Yeh Raina Aur Tum. Discuss here It is good to see something novel from Ekta's plate and this time she gave us a middle-aged romance between two individuals 33 year old Priya Sharma (Sakshi Tanwar) and 40 year old Ram Kapoor(Ram Kapoor). Both the character sketches are different from what we have seen in Ekta's past shows. Priya Sharma is her papa's girl who is simple, idealistic, teacher, happy with her middle-class status and aspirations in life. Ram Kapoor is a wealthy man who lives with his stepmother and two stepsisters and loves them immensely, though his step mom [Eva Grover] uses him. Overweight and single, he's given up all the hopes of marriage. The show warmed up with cast introductions and went on to endearing sparring between Priya and Ram, though the rest of the cast overacts to every situation. It is good to see Sakshi such a role after Kahaani and her chemistry with Ram is working slowly and steadily. We also like Ram Kapoor's self-deprecatory humour. But guess their romance will begin after marriage. That would be interesting. Verdict: If you are looking for a mature romance and good acting –then this is it.
