I hadn't been watching it from the start, in '20, but it's actually a good show, the lead Rupali Ganguly is very good. It's about a 40+ years devoted housewife who's unappreciated, like about 90% of Indian housewives, and then she discovers her husband's EMA, and finally breaks loose of the ghar ke bonds. I started watching it from Gaurav Khanna's entry, didn't know of him before but have since understood that he is an under appreciated actor. He has a romantic interest in Anupama and since his entry in the show Anuj Kapadia has become the "national crush" and their jodi #MaAn is currently the most celebrated jodi of Itv. Actually you should see Anuj, he is the anti-thesis of JIJAJI. A mature, classy businessman. Very nice character. Jija should learn respecting women from him.
But lately they have just been dragging the show.. The story arc of Anupama's struggles and her breaking and rebuilding her life, then Anuj's entry, their friendship, slowly developing into more was all very good. Now they're just filling and I've skipped epis past month, now they have become a couple so saw that part.. They're both of them great actors.
It makes my blood boil when these naye sikke abhira fans troll that show, which is like in a totally different sphere from this crap. The fun thing is, I interact a little on the IF Anupama page too,and there those folks laugh at yrkkh as being around since Mughal times.
