I am actually surprised....I thought this social media would rip it apart for the age gap between the leads...FL being 19, and ML 46...and Niharika actually looking like a child...😭

Even the Bengali remake is doing good. I guess the plot and execution is good enough that the age gap doesn't have that effect. Niharika really looks like a child, I feel Sad that there are no proper lead roles for girls in her age group. I have this weird feeling that she could have been great at a youth-sport show, with Sharad Kelkar as her coach / mentor...we could have had a genuine, platonic relationship as the highlight (a scandalous thought for ITV creatives).

As for PraShiv scenes, I want ―

Scene where they go shopping, Prart is trying different things, holding them up in front of the mirror and Shiv is mesmerized

A balcony scene when they reclaim the bedroom. Maybe a back hug during sunset

If they go for a fake or planned divorce then during separation I want a scene where he sends her flowers and she twirls holding the bouquet clutched to her chest, then she is putting them in a vase and daydreaming about Shiv

Those who are watching are saying it's not a typical love story but a mystery thriller, revenge trope. Whatever it is, u still have to watch these two get close, marrying each other before the revenge plot begins.. Wouldn't that be uncomfortable? The thought itself is giving me the ick

Khair.. To each their own maybe. Ab kya hi bol sakte hai

To each their own, at the end of the day it's fiction and ITV has long abandoned the thought of age-appropriate pairings when it has been proven, time and again, that those really work if the story is good. The problem is that they don't want actresses in their 30s doing lead roles but actors can do it up to their 50s, and since they are no longer writing youth-based shows, it's age-gap romance era

All this talk about ages reminds me, what are the ages of PraShiv and Rau? Shiv looks to be in his late 20s, and if Raunak is Smita's son then there should be at least a six year gap? And Prarthana is Raunak's age? Or younger?

Of course To each their own..I am.not questioning but definitely surprised ... personally to me..it would have still been better if the FL was in 20s... atleast someone who looks like a mature individual who can make informed decisions and choices..19 is a bit much for me...she is looking like a kid also..

Ekk toh ML and FL me itna age gap...then to top it ML is super rich and FL comes from a poor family and he is her boss.... matlab jitna imbalanced power dynamics kar sako kardo😆😆

I just hope as this week we get beautiful PraShiv scenes,makers actually promoted rain sequence little bit,so trp will increase next week especially for Wednesday epi,only then they will understand how much ss of leads give them good trp.

After watching Shivansh last night,the way he was looking at her with that look of love,desire, yearning, admiration, desperation and that dreamy smile etc...i think we all are greedy now....We want more and more of Shivansh mesmerized looking at her ...so magical it would be 😍..I sincerely believe old school romance lies in the eyes...if a man knows how to look at his woman like she is the most precious creation possible in the universe and vice versa..then more than half job is already done....

Back hug😍😍hayeee

Yeah I hope these lead centric episodes actually brings good trps...so that makers would continue doing it.. otherwise they would again try to experiment with something else....that might not be a good thing for Prashiv fans....

And these episodes are very well written as well so they deserve trps

how long was the leap .. that must be prarthna’s age

so she can be 20 ..

For Shivansh to build and run an empire he must be 30-32 atleast

Raunak must be 26 if he’s Smita’s son

Payal and Raunak behave like they are 25-26 year old .. if he’s not Smita’s son then Shivansh might be 28-29 years old

and Sonalika is also 28 years old .. so must be Tanya

I love where she was drying his hair and his puppy eyes 🥺 watching her with love longing hurt at her. 🥰

That was so strong his feelings /emotions in his eyes ☺️ I wished it was longer the scene

I was smiling and blushing 🫣

He was such a kid in that scene..

How he held her hand and said," mujhe chodkar mat jao" and the way he was looking at her...and that hair drying scene was sooo sooo cute 🥰.

So much pampering from his wife he needs ❤️
