I never really followed any Indian series before San's last show. But I saw one episode and got hooked- a large part of that was Khushi the character. It was through Khushi that I was introduced to Sanaya Irani the actor and the person (virtually- SBS, SBB). And I loved Sanaya just like I loved Khushi. True, Chhanchhan is a very real girl, you can relate very easily to her, but you don't find yourself (at least I don't) falling in love with her. I would like to be friends with her though- she's loving, practical and mature. Khushi had this child-like innocence and a flair for the dramatic which was so endearing that I still miss her.
Coming to the chemistry- see it's based on the characters, how they're envisioned and played, the music and direction also play a big role in what we perceive as chemistry. Arnav and Khushi as characters were totally different from Chhanchhan and Manav- everything with ArHi was intense,whether it was love or hate, and that had a very strong impact. Whereas CC-Manav have a very calm, un-dramatic, very realistic love story, so their chemistry is a little less sizzling. But I have to admit, in a show where their romance is not the central point (unlike the previous show), they have managed to capture out attention pretty well. So kudos to both Sanaya and Anuj!
