Actually I haven’t watched the first season entirely but I have seen a lot of clips. I was a teen then. It was a family oriented show.
But what happened was Ekta was ruling the roost with same themes across all her shows - lust, crime, plastic surgeries etc. Rishta Gen 1 focused more on family, relationships, celebrating festivals etc. This stood out among the other shows which were saturated.
I really liked the bond between a man, Mohan and a kid, Navika in a show named Na Bole Tum Na Maine Kuch Kaha in the past. But this is absolutely ridiculous!
Dude! Your wife died probably 20 or 30 days ago and you're extremely upset because you can't talk to a kid whom you met recently for probably only a few times. And he was doing tamasha outside someone's house!
Neil was so different before! He also told Savi, "Ab aap ko meri aadat daalni hogi..."
