But one thing I have to say they have handled NeiVika really well. Unlike other popular show couple NeiVika has been pretty healthy. No-one has been a doormat.Writing, direction, presentation, editing all have so many glitches last few weeks.
This team had good premise setup after making Yuvika as EA to chairman Dhanraj in office. From that lot of office, business & family dynamics with twists & turns could have taken forward main theme of 'next Vanshaj' on capability not merely on birth.
But hardly for one day Yuvika was shown working as EA to Dhanraj which landed her in hospital to address nurses strike issue, and since then Vanshaj show turned into typical murder/crime drama show but with so predictable turns with such known ' let me get rid of sautela beta' cliche. It's not capability discussion or progression, it's all about birth, that too of Prem that has overshadowed almost two months mostly with such yawning writing & presentation.
Btw with or without HM guest role as inspector, Vanshaj' team did digress to substandard quality, so can't blame a cameo alone.
They are not accepting eachother's wrong behaviour in the name of love. They have been vocal about their feelings. Be it Neil showing his frustration to Yuvika after her hug with Kartik, or Neil lashing out on her after Vidur's arrest, or Yuvika actually taunting Neil on his rudeness.
Also after a long time a show is highlighting the friendship part of a lead couple. They are not rushing their love story. They are special and the affection & respect both Neil & Yuvika carry for eachother is beautifully portrayed by Anjali and Mohit.
They are breath of fresh air in an era of itv where regressiveness,manhandling & toxicity is sold in the name of love
