You are right, Vaishali.
At times, I cant help but wonder that had Pooja met Anand sans the shadow of naren, she could have as easily fallen in love with anand..
The irony is Naren is an extremely difficult person to fall in love with whereas dr.anand is just a easy a choice!
And the cream e la cream is that while we all hold Naren on a pedestal, the doc can still give him a run for all his worth, coz the doc is good in a completely realistic way!! If you get what I mean.
The doc is easily any normal girl's ideal whereas Naren with all his quirks is actually a difficult person to live with in this world! I must say wonderful character introduction in the form of doc!! Confuses us viewers too and puts us in a tizzy to who to choose..
They made it easier in the case of Naren with a negative Surbhi. We can rush to dislike her but doc is another ball game. And the relish is that dilemma of the viewers will be Pooja's too. As the doc is not giving her any chance for comparison here. How lovely is that!
