For me, HS was always the main character I was interested in. His dialogues and philosophy were just brilliant. I learned a LOT from him.
Same!
I skipped so many scenes wherein he wasn't there. Whether that was the Khurana's family drama or Babita's job track, I couldn't care much for them. HS was the main attraction for me and the person I eagerly waited for because I knew he'll have something interesting to say and impart on us. Baaki sab toh apne mein hi mast the. But somehow while HS had his own problems, he was still invested in everything and everyone that was around him. He genuinely cared about them all.
