The concept of your show is one that has a lot of potential and many were excited to see the sparkling chemistry of two of television's most celebrated actors - Drashti Dhami and Shakti Arora. Cinematography, direction, and acting has been great so far and we have enjoyed the realistic approach.
Complex relationships which change with time...we were looking forward to seeing real, modern relationships and the issues in them as well as their convoluted nature. Many were looking forward to see how a woman gets out of an abusive marital relationship and emerges stronger and more independent. On the other hand, we hoped to see another type of problematic relationship between a man and a woman where perhaps neither were negative in a black sense, but they lacked compatibility and had varying ideologies which created a distending void.
We were looking forward to see the competent and stellar leads - Drashti Dhami as Nandini and Shakti Arora as Kunal - tackle these difficult situations, how they come together, and how the creatives justify the emotions of all the characters.
When it comes to the audience that brings ratings, it is likely that it will be very difficult for the masses to digest a narrative where the male lead who is in a saccharine relationship with an ideal and sacrificial woman betrays her trust, considering how incredibly principled and judicious he has been so far. On the other hand, it is difficult for many to fathom the thought that Nandini in seeking support to get out of her unhealthy relationship would break faith with her friend again who she cares so much for.
There is so much potential with the impressive star cast. The cinematography and direction have been great thus far. For many viewers, the highlight thus far was episode 5 and 6 where Nandini and Kunal first met! Shakti and Drashti are very powerful actors and their interactions, the powerful emotions we saw, and the subtle but impactful scenes give us a lot of hope for the future. If the nuanced treatment justifies the future shifting relationships, internal states and dilemmas of the characters are shown at a greater depth, and pacing is made a bit more consistent, this show can really do wonders on all fronts and that is what we would all like to see! All best!

The show's well-wishers and viewers
