Hey everyone ! :)
So I've been following this show since end of May/start of June, so needless to say that I've yet to catch up on most of the initial episodes.


I came across this show purely by accident or should I say persuasion 😆 My cousin is head over heels for the Atharv-Vividha pair so she made me one watch one of the episodes and a couple of VMs 😆

Now coming straight to the point, After so frickin long I've finally come to like a male lead on Indian television!

Now firstly l'll discuss his flaws, Atharv definitely has his flaws. I for one think he is a flawed character (like a normal human being). To be very honest, I don't like the way he and Sujata don't take Vividha's clear 'NO' for an answer. I know he isn't forcing himself on her physically, but then when a girl verbally tells you that she isn't interested in you, you gotta slowly back away. Even if she actually has feelings for you and you FEEL that she has those feelings. I hope Atharv realizes this sooner , because I don't want him to suffer emotionally.

Now coming to the things that I like about him. I like the fact that Atharv is a feminist. I like how he encourages Vividha to take a stand for herself. He isn't the typical quintessential hero who jumps into the scene to thrash up the road side chichora for teasing his lady-love. He'd rather like his lady-love to take a stand for herself and thrash that guy HERSELF because there's nothing that we girls can't do 😳 He thinks men and women are equal and the light to lead our paths comes from within, not from anybody else.

AND THAT WAS IT 🤢

It was official. I fell for this character. Despite all his flaws, I finally came to like a male character on Indian television after ages. I had stopped watching TV but this character and his story forced me back into the rabbit hole.

I absolutely love Atharv's relationship with his mom. It's so heartwarming. His angst, his love for his mom, his anger for his estranged dad who left them to fend for themselves. It all looks and feels natural. And even Atharv's ambition to take his mom's small time dairy business to greater heights. What I also love is that the character is very intense. He has a baggage and he has his issues but he doesn't let that baggage of his life drown him.


Coming to Atharv-Vividha, these two have CHEMISTRY written all over them. So much of chemistry. I'm not invested in the pair but boy! Do they have some electrifying chemistry between them! 😆 There's no denial they that they look good together 😳

However, that said my main pull to this show is Atharv and I'd like to see him achieving his dream. I'm curious to see how the relationship between Atharv and his dad plays out when he finally enters the scene. I find Atharv's backstory mysterious and I'd like to find out what actually is the truth behind their abandonment. I'm guessing Atharv actually comes from a super rich family so it would be interesting to see how Kailash reacts to it, who totally disregards Atharv now.

And last but not the least, this is the first time I'm watching Vikram onscreen and I'm blown away by how brilliantly he enacts this character. He brings Atharv to life. I just found that he started out on TV In 2014 and actually is a lawyer by profession ! Now that's impressive ! He is a brilliant actor.

Regardless of what happens in the future, one thing I'm totally opposed to is Atharv losing his mental balance after Vividha supposedly ditches him and marries his step brother (which I personally don't want at all) That would be totally unfair to Atharv (losing his mental stability) who has already suffered so much in life without any fault of his :(

Anyways, that's my two cents about the character and I hope his character shapes up well in the future too :)

Wonderful post :D You have captured Atharva brilliantly. I love him too! He is great character :D And one of the reasons I find him so great and amazing is because like you said he supports women and encourages them. In the episode where Vividha gets abducted and instead waiting for someone to saver her, she fights back and Atharv sees that. I think thats the point he started seeing her in different light. He saw her fight back as hard as she could, he saw that she did not give up and he liked that. I love that he likes strong, independent woman and wants his lady love to be fierce.
He obviously has a dark past but its great that it does not overshadow everything else in his life. His bond with his mother makes him so sensitive and that makes me love him more because sensitive guys are my weakness. He is also such a sensible character you know? there is no stupidity that he is doing.

Like you said, Vikram is doing a wonderful job and his and Shivani's chemistry is mind blowing! So effortless and sizzling!

I do not want him to loose his mental stability either because there is so much more him. I love Vitharv's pair but I dont want his story to be limited to that. Even if she gets married then I want CV to explore his dream, his relationship with his step brother and father. I dont want them to make him loose his mental stability. He is a great character, he does not deserve that!

You're last para sums up my exact views! There is SO MUCH MORE to Atharv such that I will watch it just for him, regardless! VIvartha is just a bonus IMO... this show can sustain even if that pair is broken! 😉

You have wrote this perfectly!👏 Every shade of his character is defined so well in your words... 👏

Honestly, those are the same traits of his character that attracted me to this show. He's not your typical hero.. he is flawed, he makes mistakes, he is rude sometimes.. but thats human! Sometimes, I find Vividha's characterization a bit unreal, but then you realize this is why Atharv exists! Although, I'm not looking forward to seeing Atharv going mental in love.. I do want to see how he rises from it! 😃

Agree with everything you said! I'm yet to catch up on the kidnapping episodes but I'm getting there slowly 😆

I agree with the fact that Atharv's story shouldn't be limited to his love/attraction to Vividha. I want to see him strive hard to achieve his dreams. Basically it's Atharv character which has impressed me the most as of now and right now my emotions are with him. I know in hindi shows, the sympathy lies with the girl but here I'm more interested in Atharv's character and yesterday's episode , damn 😭 I felt SO BAD for Atharv 😭

They are doing a good job with Atharv and I hope the creative's don't mess it up by making Atharv mentally unstable in the future or ruin his character for trps.

Even I'm in love with Vikram and Shivani's chemistry. Vikram is so so amazing! And Shivani is good as well. They just fit together perfectly, like a glove fits a hand. Something about the two of them together just feels right, you know?

However I'm trying not to get emotionally attached because I don't want to be left heartbroken if ViTharv aren't end game.

At the end of the day I just want happiness for Atharv, with or without Vividha :)

Vividha's characterization needs a little work but I'm sure she'll come around :) Exactly, I want to see him rise from his ashes like a phoenix IF he does lose his mental balance. However I'm hoping CVs scrap this plot of Atharv going mental.

omg you will love the kidnapping scenes! I am behind too so I was just watching those and there is scene where Vividha is covering her face because she is on bike with Atharv late at night so Atharv is just like if you are doing to save yourself from dust then its okay otherwise you have not done anything wrong and she uncovers her face and it was such a significant scene because he is empowering her, giving her strength.

Same. I want more for Atharv. Want the writers to show his fight to achieve his dream and be successful.

Vikram and Shivani are so good together. They look so beautiful on screen together! I love them soo much!

Same. I am also trying to not get attached to Vitharv too much but I am already too attached to Atharv so much! I am so in love with him so if he gets hurt I will be so hurt!!

You're absolutely correct! Out of all the characters in the show, Atharva is my favourite. He has his flaws, but as you've said, that's what makes him human. All he has to do now is work on his flaws henceforth. Even though you say he needs to back off & accept Vividha's refusal which is completely understandable & makes sense, I don't know, I do like the fact that he's encouraging her to think outside of herself & unleash her true self. What I love about his character is that he empowers Vividha, he wants for her to leave behind her naivety & rigidity which I like & start being adventorous & spontaneous once in a while. However, I do feel he needs to also understand Vividha's standpoint, that for now she hasn't seen the other side of her Father, she's still naive in that sense-she only sees the best in people, & Atharva needs to understand her position & that it's difficult her for too.
I'm also against Vividha getting married to his step-brother 🤢 & Atharva's future mental instability. It's saddening, because he's been shown to be a strong character, & that's what I really want to see in the future episodes, for him to build himself a career & achieve his dreams & really show Kalaish what he's made of-determination & a passion to achieve the impossible despite his poor status. I really wanted to see him make something of himself, & because the CV's have already decided on this aspect of the story I hope they show (because I'm not sure how severe his illness will be, whether mild or serious) Atharva overcome that, meaning, I want the CV's to show him conquer his mental instability & find himself in the process to how he was before, that'll really show his strong nature, whether he's able to do that on his own, or with the help of Vividha I don't care, I want to see him come out of it victorious & finally achieve his dreams. It's probably far-fetched, but let's see what they have planned. I just hope they don't ruin his character in the process.
