I guess as viewers we need to understand and analyse the characters from a very neutral perspective irrespective of whether we like them or not. I guess this is one show were all the characters are quite balanced, the lead - Nisha and the two parallel leads - Viraj and Kabir. All of them come with a certain emotional baggage.
Nisha
Nisha was prey to molestation as a teenager. Hence she chose to be a tomboy to escape the attention that a girl might get. Beneath this facade there was always a girl lurking around, who wanted to be normal and lead a life like every other girl.
Her strength and tom-boyishness is her guise to hide her vulnerability.
Viraj
Viraj was born into an influential and wealthy family but had a very unfortunate childhood yearning for love. Life was not fair to him, as he never had anyone by his side to shower genuine love and care. All he ever had was opportunists.
His attitude is his pretense to hide his vulnerable side.
Kabir
Kabir had his mom by his side. Nevertheless it is not easy to grow up without knowing one's roots and real identity. From the look of it he was an illegitimate child and you can easily imagine what kind of taunts the society might hurl at an illegitimate kid.
His smile is his mask to hide his vulnerable side.
We all have history. But how we deal with that history and react to it defines our personality. Shadows of our past are very much real and at many a times it comes into the forefront in different circumstances, but if we do not know how to unpack our baggage then it will thwart our present too.
I would watch this show to see the healing process of all these characters. It would be interesting to watch how all the three characters identify their blind spots. All of them have the option to take charge of their baggage and their choice will make the difference. Either they can resort to blame game or forgive!!! The evolution of all these characters is entirely in the hands of cvs and I would definitely enjoy whichever route they adopt.
I love this show for the reality touch it has, albeit some forced dramatic gimmicks for TRP. I thought of pouring out my feelings because we all are quick enough to become judgmental of the characters we don't like.
P.S. For me Nisha is the lead of this show and all the guys who come in her life are parallel leads, hence I have mentioned both Viraj and Kabir as parallel leads just my POV.
