Hi friends,
This is not a topic related to the current ongoings but I just felt this was a good opportunity to express what I have been thinking about for a while now...
I know that KTLK is an adaptation of Dhoop Kinare and I am not going to compare the two. In fact after I saw promos of KTLK and learnt that it is based on DK I caught up DK on you tube and got addicted to it. I liked the concept and the execution.
That is why when I started watching KTLK and saw that there are many things different from DK I was a little uncomfortable with the change. I did not like that there were many hurdles like considering the age difference too seriously and being practical about it, getting another marriage proposal for Nidhi, baba warning Nidhi against taking any decision which may affect the family bondings etc.
But when I thought about it more carefully I realized that that was indeed the way to go...It is very natural for any friend to advise her friend against getting into a relationship with a much older man, very normal for family to start looking for a groom for a grown up girl. This is waht happens in current day and age. Inspite of everything I could not help comparing it to DK which occured at a much more conservative time and society. It would be stupid to expect Nidhi's friends and family to be ok with her relationship to a man who is almost double her age. So in future when everything is hunky dory between Dr. A and Nidhi I would not be surprised to see the family opposing or not being happy about it. I know that it is not going to happen, probably because it is not in the story line but even if they show it, it wouldn't be completely out of place...
What say???
