This show needs a breath of fresh air, and Samrat might just be what that is.
Totally agree with you about the job front, but I really doubt the makers would actually think beyond the titles into what actually is entailed in said titles that they've picked for their leads. I doubt they've done any sort of research into the level 2 of any of these characters and their motivations. Initial mindmap is all they have and double click Karo toh it's empty.
But that aside, completely agree that it would be a joy to see Sai and Samrat's relationship develop. They are both souls in a sort of similar predicament, except that Sai knew what she was getting into but did it due to lack of choice...whereas Samrat was blindsided.
She needs a friend who will back her and is also respected in this ridiculous excuse for a family.Yes she's got Ashwini, Shivani and Devi on her side...but really she's more like their leader. None of these members are regarded highly in the family and unfortunately it then is posed as a loser picks a loser saga. samrat would change that balance. He's not one to be shushed away with dancing eyebrows and huffing wolves. (also honestly I do not see any joy in Virat's jealousy with Aniket..it sort of reeks of patriarchy and also maybe a belief where his wife cannot befriend anyone from the opposite sex...I shall reserve my opinions until the track manifests...but literally did he expect her to be friendless for 5 years. This was also why Pulkit's dialogue of wah tumhari modern family hai that lets you study...ummm...its the most basic right..kaahe Ka modernity).
Another thing that could be really well done is the bromance! We've already established that Sunny is quite useless and potentially the worst friend someone could have. But Samrat could be the promised one! Not just eager to see the love between the brothers but equally someone who can call out Virat's bullshit and make him see exactly how he's hurting those (cough Sai cough) around him.
I think yeh Sab utopian dream hai...in the same universe as Machiavellian Pakhi... We'll continue to see scream matches....two or three scenes to pacify SaiRat fans...then rinse repeat. We can hope against hope, but I think the zillat arena and family policing is what is raking in the mooolah.
To Virat I say...tauda friend best mature friend... Sadda friend kaun Aniket?
