Why wouldn't they? I believe that subconsciously, most people seek partners whom they have many things in common with, especially when it comes to settling down and such things. They'd have a great understanding, specifically if both partners are mature, they'd have the potential to grow and learn together as time passes and they can be more compatible in the long run. Likeness does attract likeness, in many cases. We could say it's boring (which I don't think it is) but real life is not a TV serial, how many of us truly would want such dramas to unfold in our own lives? And even in shows, we have had people with similar characteristics casted opposite each other like Viren-Jeevika and Maanvi-Viraat from EHMMBH or Kabir-Nisha from NAUC, and I'm sure there are many other examples, as well - pairs which had great chemistry and which people enjoyed a lot.@bold: Same applies to couples, whether opposites or not, who have been together for years or even less. At one point, you'll know each other inside out, that's how many relationships work. Should they not be together just because there's nothing new to learn about each other? Of course not; it's great if you have reached a level in your relationship where you understand your partner without effort, where you know them as much as they know themselves and where you are aware of every detail revolving around your partner. Besides, there's always something to learn in life, learn together, grow together. Challenges most often come in form of circumstances, after all.Having said that, I'm not denying that opposites attract, and they do make for a good story if executed well like everything else. Neither am I saying that Ishana is totally unsuitable for Om, she might turn out to be good for him, actually. It all depends on how their story progresses. Even if I am not impressed, right now, it might change- they've just started, after all. It's in the hands of the writers.
100% agree!
And coming from someone who loves watching love hate stories, it's a lot of fun, and the chemistry is sizzling.
But to say that people who're similar bore each others, is a grossly wrong assumption.
When it comes to Indian television, the makers fail to create variety and a broad character(atleast in most of the shows) and hence there are only two types of relationship bondings possible, one where there are complete polar opposites. Which again, sizzling chemistry, but passion and chemistry die down. And if you look at it realistically, talking from personal experience, people who are complete polar opposites in every way, it makes life extremely hard. You can't agree on anything and your morals and ideals are different, and basically life is just a boat through a storm, and it is hardly as romantic as it sounds.
On the other hand, couples with similar characters are perceived as boring because they're 'basically dating themselves'. But no two people are ever the same. Everyone's different in their own way, and if you find someone who shares the same interests with you and also strikes a passion within you, then life's going to be a lot smoother and easier. Also, you'd be surprised how funny and interesting similar couples can be, they understand each other so well and have their own set of jokes and collective passion.
It's basically about striking a balance, and also about your needs. Some people put passion and chemistry as the top priority, while others need a companion more than anything.
P.S. I'm kind of sleep deprived so I'm not sure if I just typed a bunch of horseshit or not.
P.P.S. Definitely not trying to being mean to anyone here
