They are adorable - agree. Would like them to become really good friends first before all those eye locks and dupatta flying starts :P
If love happens between them then the serials gonna be one WHAT THE HELL type. 😳 They should get to know each other and then love can happen. For now I'm enjoying the adorable-ness of the characters. 😆 & about Melodrama and all, thats sure to happen. Look at the families, drama hi drama. 😛

Great post Kanky 😃

we know that love stories in reality hardly ever consist of the mushy mushy eye locks and dupatta fling and the "wind" effect. It's more like two people knowing each other, becoming friends, developing and gaining trust within each other for each other and then taking the next step. Being in "love" is not just about eye locks and wind effect. it's more about understanding each other and accepting each other along with accepting each others' beliefs, values, as well as family.

in this case, Anant and Navya both come from conservative families. It would be realistic to show them go through the process mentioned above--- knowing each other more, becoming friends, developing and gaining trust and then taking the next step. and during this process try to tackle their parents' beliefs with their own.
One thing that sticks out in this show, is that both the characters of Navya and Anant are shown to be similar--- both from conservative family, neither is an extroverted flirtatious or loud character.

LOL it's like if they were to be seated on a sea-saw, then it would be in equilibrium!😆

@Navya's sister--- yeah she definitely seemed regretful and well she sure would be! seems like she had to sacrifice her dreams and her career under her annoying dadi's pressure!
actually you know what, i don't think they portray the older generation correctly in this show. We have grandparents too...but they are so rigid and super backward like the ones shown in the show. Grandparents in reality usually pamper the grandchildren and support them in pursuing their dreams rather than suppressing them.

I totally get ya kanky and i agree with your pov too.
I guess both parties have to let go of some things and accept some things, right?
In navya and Anant's case, their parent's restrictions on avoiding the opposite sex and to not to befriend them is just not right as per the society now. I mean that could have been realistic had they been shown from a small town or a village. But they are living in Mumbai, one of the fast growing metro city, right? Then, how come the parents are so conservative?
Instead of putting so much restrictions, they could have advised them and made them understand that they can be friends with the opposite sex, like them but there are certain limits to how far they can go at their age. Instead of showing an overbearing grandma making decisions about Navya and the dad giving in to his overbearing mother, he could make both the mother and the daughter understand, couldn't he? and same goes for anant.

I agree with you. But expectations and Hindi TV serials run parallel, let's all accept that and get over it! 🤔

Ditto girl! 😆 just giving it a shot. All indian telly soaps are like those afternoon soaps on American telly. twisted tales lol
