These shows are probably designed to give an ego boost to the average audience, cuz in real life most hot women end up with hot and rich men. Ever heard of Gisele Bundchen, Adriana Lima, Bar Refaeli?

And if you want chemistry, have a go at Gossip Girl, Chuck and Blair were awesome. Both were rich and hot as hell.

The name is indeed misleading, and like I said, I ain't the only one with this opinion. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Again, its just an opinion. Peace!


@Bold JOKE OF THE CENTURY!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

You know what? You sound more like someone who have something against the female lead or just plain dislike her. How about sticking to Gisele Bundchen, Adriana and Refaeli instead of watching this show. 😊

No I do not follow ANSM, that ain't the reason I know about these models and many more.

I guess I am used to shows where every member of the main cast is given a story and screen space and there is more stress on characters instead of just dragging stuff about. Ex TBBT, Friends etc etc. I probably shouldn't have expected that.

I have seen a lot of strong female leads and I prefer them over ones who cry all the time. I also prefer male leads who have more than just the girl to worry about all the time.

Thanks for your advice about what to stick to. But I don't need it. And I guess it also depends on the target audience's maturity about how the makers show stuff as well.


Cheers!

Pardon me for asking this. If you were skipping the Manan scenes, how did you find out that there was no chemistry between the leads? You need to watch something before passing your judgement on it, isn't it? And how come you were able to watch and enjoy Season 2 when you obviously did not like the female lead who could barely get her words out of her mouth? She is still very much a part of season 2 and gets at least 10-12 minutes of screen space. Has she suddenly improved her dialogue delivery in the absence of the male lead? Does that mean the guy's stunning looks had her tongue tied before?

Hey!
I can't believe I am having to justify this. But yes, I did give it a shot initially. I didn't start watching this show for them. In fact I had no idea about them. But while skipping scenes, you do tend to land at a point that's a bit too ahead or behind and you end up having to watch something you don't want to sometimes.. So that's how I realized that they weren't my cup of tea.

Even the screen grabs online for a while only showed her worried or sobbing. I wouldn't say that she is tongue tied, but yes she does have trouble saying her lines from what I have seen and in my opinion.

And I still skip her scenes, like I said I was glad that instead of a couple of seconds. I got to see the rest of the cast for few more minutes, which I'm sure most people didn't want.

Hope that answers your queries.

Thanks for taking the time out to answer my queries. I can now understand why you did not see the chemistry if out of the blue you just caught a couple of minutes (or should I say seconds) of a Manan scene, without bothering to see what went before or after the parts you watched. Not enough time to really emotionally connect with their story to appreciate it. That also explains why you only got to see her worried or sobbing when she was doing a million other things.

Oh yeah, you seem to enjoy the screen space the others are getting. Great scenes indeed, one getting to place an ad for another's baby in a site for selling second hand furniture. The mom in question leaves her sick baby in the care of an unwilling but amorous doctor to trot off to the college to support her friend in her election. A guy who badly humiliated his GF in the earlier season manages to soften his girl in her drunken state. The new guy in town seems to have flashes of wisdom that the female lead is a straight forward and honest girl when only a couple of days back he locked her up accusing her of conniving with his grand dad to put him in the spot. The guy who was out to harm the male lead in the earlier season has suddenly turned into the female lead's best friend and is out to find the culprits behind the bomb blast when he was aware that the blast was because of an oil spill. Have the CVs forgotten their own story? Never mind, not everyone, except a few, is watching all the episodes to know the difference.


By the way, I watched all episodes of season 1 and three weeks of episodes of season 2 and I can see the huge difference in the quality of the show. Only what you consider to be inferior I consider superior and what you consider superior I consider inferior. Given that you hardly watched season 1 and I hardly missed season 2, one can see why there is a difference in our perceptions.

Cheers.

Even though I agree with you about the screen space issue and other characters in season 1, I totally disagree on the chemistry thing.
Till now I hv seen great chemistry in 3 couples
Kumkum sumit ( kumkum . even though the show was saasbahu drama, I used to watch it for kumkum sumit chemistry.
Arnav khushi ( is pyaar ko kya naam doon . barun and sanaya just killed it ! )
And

MANAN ! I mean come on ! If these two don't have chemistry, then who do? In fact i will give these two more marks / points on chemistry aspect, because, off screen they are not comfortable with each other. They just lit the screen up yaar!
You have skipped their scenes and watched the show. Now do one thing. Skip everything else and watch their scenes only.

And one more thing. Indian TV audience still can't digest a strong female lead. You watch almost any Indian TV show, you will find the female lead with very undeveloped gross and finer motor skills. I mean, she stumbles in the male leads arms while walking, running climbing ladders etc. Her dupattas, Stoll's,or any other trinket gets stuck somewhere and she needs the male lead' help to solve the problem etc etc. So we have to Bear with it.

@opti @arshi_manan
Cheers for being reasonable!

Like I said, I did give it a shot. I tried to watch some of their earlier scenes to see what the fuss was about. But I really couldn't connect with them at all. That's because of what you have explained, the cliched way the females are portrayed, even the males for that matter.

Just another query, is it also mandatory for every guy on Indian telly to fall for the lead gal. Cuz literally everyone seems to be falling for her? Even Aryaman, which makes no sense whatsoever. And I heard that the two actors consider themselves bro-sis. Wow way to go!😕 How did they agree to it? Or were they inspired by GoT?

I have my reservations about Dhruv and Alya cuz I did not like the way that he was shown treating her in the earlier season. I thought Aryaman and Alya would have set the screen on fire. With the few scenes they shared, it really looked like they could pull it off, but have been disappointed yet again. 😭 👎🏼

This is literally the only Indian show I followed. And yes they are all cliched and typical. Even this show's lead characters I'm afraid aren't any different.

I specially didn't like how the lead Manik treated Alya. He blamed her for not trusting him, when he clearly was attracted to the gal Nandini and never could hide it. The gal put in efforts in that relationship, and though it wasn't meant to be, she still cared about it. He owed her the truth if not an apology for his behavior. Alya sending goons was a bit far-fetched but any girl who loves and cares for a guy wouldn't like seeing him drifting away.
I think the writers tried to make her look bad just to project Manan as being just that good. I'm afraid that their story is no different from the ones narrated all the time.

I liked Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl cuz neither of them were perfect, in fact far from perfect, but that's how people are, shades of grey and yet they found themselves.

Shows like Friends and TBBT are so good cuz each character is given importance and I enjoy watching all the 20 mins of them instead of having to skip.

It is easy to like someone who seems perfect and it takes effort to like people who aren't and that is why I feel more connected to some of the other characters. And sometimes it is also bad writing. As I said, they only stress on the lead pair and not the lead cast.

Shit happens in real life too, who wouldn't go to certain extremes. Another thing I don't understand is how becoming a college president makes you closer to solving your boyfriend's mystery and why wait for 3-4 or 6 months to do that?

Anyway I guess you guys have your Manan to look forward to and I have to sob over the fact that I have none else left to root for.

Peace!

@adalvr kudos girl. Finally someone who thinks exactly like me. I mean i dont know about the chemistry its all mechanical and every couple on indian tv have a certain set of fans who adore them and think they are the best couple and best chemistry. But what you said was downright sensible i also dont get the fact of bad guy turning good and falling in love with miss goody two shoes. Although i am liking the character of nandini now coz she is using her brains now which she never used to do, no offence to Niti i am her big fan but character of nandini was plain boring. And in real life Guys like Manik wont end up with girls like Nandini. I have seen it. And just look at the friendships shown in Friends, How i met your mother, The big bang theory in these shows its not that they only date people in group they also date outside but also take out time for their friends, meet up their friends in a coffehouse or bar and catch up with each other's life and spend time together. look how comfortable ross and rachel were , they were friends and if the same thing Manik would have done if he would have been so comfortable with alia, people would have alia thrown out of the show. Well what the hell i am comparing KYY has not even got the slightest chance to stand in front of these epic shows, if the cast of friends hear that i am comparing them with kyy they might commit suicide😆. Kyy was just a new saas bahu saga with new social messages and teenagers. But seriously i agree with everything the post writer said. I mean c'mon shows i listed above are still watched on repeat with billions of ppl all around the world but who is going to watch kyy after it ends except the girls watching it today cause i dont think guys even watch these shows. At last i would just say the show which kicked off so nicely on friendship ruined itself in romance.
