tbh ashwin(s1 neeraj) n neeraj r quite similar, but idk where did vedika come from there wasnt even any one like vedika in s1! s1 had some realistic tracks too, which is why the show had really high trps and also balaji had very high budget then they showed ram-priya honeymoon in australia and post seperation when priya was living in dubai. but here forget overseas they r not even showing ram-priya going for a short trip outside town 🙄. only some tracks i liked this season like initial episodes, diwali shopping, the coupon concept and the chaand-taare episodes. i think s1 also had some baarish connection like s2 too.
Happened in season 1, but after a leap or two, the actor playing Kartik (Akki) got busy with other projects and gradually written off. Later they had shown that he had an EMA.
Natasha (Shivi) was very grey shaded in the initial track (before leap) and responsible for many of the MUs between Raya. But after the first leap, she was Priya’s biggest supporter, that lasted till end I think.
When I look back, season 1 didn’t have such regressive tracks as Ex interfering in couple’s lives. Ram didn’t have an ex, Priya’s Ex wasn’t married to her sister, but to her friend and he was a no entity.
