-Vividha & Atharv
-Atharv-Ravish
-Suman-Sujata
Now whether you want to admit it or not, Vividha & Atharv did become very popular. Their scenes worked with the audience hence more of them was give to us in Phase 1 (confirmed by a channel person so shut up if you want to argue otherwise). As fans we were cool with 0.7 anyway because at the back of our mind we knew Vitharv are going to split and there will be a high end wedding drama which takes in ratings for any show.
Anyway so out of nowhere the second relationship comes in too! That of Atharv & Ravish's! The show is/was meant to be about them but hands on your heart, does anyone see ANY chemistry between these 2? Because I certainly don't. It kind of seems like the actors are playing their part but have no chemistry or warmth with each other and I HAVE seen great chemistry between siblings (EHMMBH, Veera, Bidaai...so many sister shows man). Even IB is meant to be about 3 brothers & there's a camaderie there. Ravish & Atharv have had good bonding scenes on paper but onscreen? They make you feel nothing! Very worrying!
Suman and Sujata - an equation which I was actually looking forward to but unfortunately both actresses & as of now Sujata'a characters are hugely MEH! I loved Smita's work in the past but she just does not connect to Suman! You can completely tell and I've followed the woman since Amanat days. This is far from her best, probably because Suman is actually poorly written. Sujata was a woman of substance but now she only exists to give Vividha cold looks and take crap from Suman. I thought there will be exciting chemistry between the two but even that's a dud! Shilpa has never looked so disinterested!!!
What will they do? What can they do? 2 out of the 3 main bonds of the show in my opinion have failed in showing any impact.
