I have watched very selected shows on ITV and that too for stories and good acting. I do like a few actors for their acting and dressing (best one is Shagun from YHM) BUT dont have any favorites. And for this reason, I have never completed any show until the end. Always end up leaving in a year or so before the drag fest starts.
Coming to this show: In the times of blatant copy and paste, these guys have a great storyline that attracts the viewers as well. Considering its 2024 where people expect good drama and not the irrational OTT drama they could very well keep it real. I feel like they have a great story.
Akshara did a mistake here of accepting the blame and leaving Ruhi behind taking along her only parent figure left in this world. (In real life, same could have been done in the police station just to close the case like Manish did anyways. But the elders would all know the truth and all Ruhi needed to know is that her mom died in the accident).
But anyways,this was done to start the base of gen 4. All good, Ruhi can hate Abhira for her mom, for Armaan and now Ruhi can be jealous with what is happening at the moment, but they did not have to make her totally vile. I dont think that was required. She can be a regular human being with all emotions (not everyone is extra mahan to walk away so your ex can marry his love types). Rohit had his reasons to give the baby away, when the truth is out, there is already enough base for a real drama. Ruhi can be heartless and take her baby away. For all that she did not have to be shown hating the chile like she is doing now.
Like Manisha character. I am sure the actor wanted a storyline so they had to create this drama for her. But she is still sane.
Abhir and Abhira can hate Goenkas for their mom not being supported.
Then they have all the cousins and their stories.
I feel they have something really good here and if they keep it real they have great drama
