What's the difference between that? I said not so young couple

And I think the only thing is that the title should not be interpreted in other way... it just means the intensity of the likeness which is apt for them

I do agree with you on the choice of actors as this is supposed to be a love story of a couple in their 30s lol.

Whereas Disha herself is 28 and also looks the same. Nakul is 38 however he looks just 32-33 lol.

They both don't give the older couple vibe the main thing which is the supposed to be the common factor bw both show.

Also Nakul looks odd as a foodie, given he is so damn fit. Him eating all that junk and medicines look unbelievable to me. Like I would believe Ram Kapoor for it but not someone like Nakul who has a well toned body under that suit.

However both the actors ae good but just not believable for what they are shown and not their mistake. The casting director or EK should have thought about it

In this season I think she wanted to show 2 matured people who are age at 30 are lonely and heartbroken and deprived of love

So she choice nakul and disha

About Ram looking fit some people really look fit in their old age (PS my nana ji look so much fit in 70 but my father and my masi husband look aged more than him) and people how much they eat they don't get it in their genetic

Most important Ekta wanted this season for young generation who did not watch 1st season and able to connect with them like me i didn't watch 1st season so I able to watch this season without comparing to 1st season

To enjoy this season you have to forget about 1st season

I'm sorry if it's been discussed before or it's not allowed but I have to get it off my chest.

Like many I was a big fan of season 1. Ram and Sakshi were a class aoart so wouldn't do injustice to Nakul-Disha by comparing them both but I just can't digest this show.

Season 1 was all about not-so-young couple finding love after marriage(that's why the name Bade Acche lagte hai- Bade as in Umar me Bade) but Nakul and Disha are not looking the part at all. They are not looking a couple who is 38 and 32 respectively. If Nakul trims his beard, cuts his hair and Disha is given trendier clothes, they would look just like any young TV couple.

I'm loving Nakul-Disha together and they have amazing chemistry but they are just not Ram-Priya for me. Ekta could have chosen any other name and it could have worked but not BALH.

Even Ram's friends are not looking the part. If Ram is 38, his friends would also be in mid-thirties but they all are so young.

I'm just not able to connect the characters with the actors

Mid thirties is still Young and not typical old people. Times have gone where people in 30s used to look like 50s. People are becoming more fit and aware so age stereotypes have changed.

agreed they could have name this show anything but not balh

first prev seasons fans wont like it so some wont accept the show easily

i already see some unnecessary bashing by these fans who r commenting even without seeing the epis

they can change other characters name but not the lead's characters name

isse acha they could have named ram-priya of this season as adi-pankhuri instead 🤣(pankhuri sood n aditya kapoor 😆)

and since show revolves around baarish aisa related kuch naam de deta

and as for concept ekta said this time it is about a love story between 2 individuals who are in their 30s(priya's 32 n ram's 38 here)

It can be taken either way. My point being Nakul and Disha are not looking the age they are shown

I think if you saw Ekta Kapoor's interview when unveiling the show- she made it crystal clear this show is not geared towards the viewers of BALH 1. This show is targetted to the newer generation who never watched Season 1. Or were not really interested.

I have been talking to a lot of the young folks from other forums- and they remember BALH 1 as the show that their moms watched 😆 They have no idea about the story. They are interested in good presentation and young looking couples. They are interested in seeing the new Ram and Priya after seeing the clips on Insta.

In any case, even if Ekta had made it with any other name- it would have the same impact- the people who saw S1 would have just been like- "wait wasn't this BALH?"

By branding the show as S2, she got the viewers of S1 curious, along with the newer audience

Ok that's perfectly fine but why show them of the age they are shown? Simply don't mention any age and it would still be a rocking storyline. For eg: Disha is given simple clothes to make her older but she is not looking like one.

my whole issue is not with S1 or S2. I watch it every day and love it but I feel they have casted a younger couple for an older role

I completely agree here.

Ya may be the problem is that I'm comparing it with S1. If I ignore the heritage completely, it's a wonderful show

Yeah exactly..

Juts look at it as a new show.. which has nothing in common with the season 1, and you will be able to enjoy it. 😃

Btw Disha is actually 26 years old not 28. She will turn 27 this year in November. Wiki has wrong info about her D.O.B.
