While i m in love with the character Kavya Bansal I can't help be equally entranced by the character Adiraj Pradhan & how both the main leads balance each other!
Kavya is strong girl also if we go by the writer dynamics u people might have noticed that usually the main character always has a trauma, that's actually a set up to make the protagonist strong & to make the audience connect to them. Usually in ITV we see this trope being set for the male leads while the female lead is this soft, flowery, sunshine girl who is supposed to make the ML come out of his trauma and start living his life happily again, here it's the other way round.
Adiraj Pradhan, the male lead is a son who despises his father's controlling behavior, the guy is hell of a motivator for Kavya, given how he has managed to pull the right strings on the girl and made her speak up at the open mic & at the railway station. I won't say he rebels against misogyny as of now bcz so far they have portrayed him as this laid off guy who is intelligent enough to understand what's going on but lazy enough to not butt in giving 1 hr full of feminism speeches, naa that's not him!
In case of AdYa, they have smoothly moved to the track of Adiraj finding out abt Kavya's trauma related to Navya, in the Friday epi's they managed to show how Adiraj has been so soft towards her given he already has a soft corner. This just makes the AdYa dynamics more clear to us. It's just not limited to your sunshine ML, Grumpy FL trope but here the ML will help heal the FL's trauma which is rare from ITV perspective.
All in all the way the characters have been written it shows how Kavya needs a calm, chilled out partner to balance her trauma and calm her down before she steps in to make any impulsive decisions and how Adiraj needs a partner who condemns the controlling misogynist people around him so that Adiraj who has been lazy enough to not rebel against the world he sees but doesn't wanna get involved with will finally step out of the shadows into light!
It's like Adiraj was written for Kavya and Kavya was written for Adiraj!
Hai shaam tu, taareef main
Tu chain hai, taqleef main
Tujhse mila to paa liya
Har cheez main
Imagine if the ML was our typical angry young man, blazing guns on Netaji, showing power of money to Kavya's ex-would-have-been-in-laws what would be the point of making this show then?
