When you see how the story has developed so far, we see a pattern in the story. This story sticks more closely to the natures of people. Naina is the daughter of Sameer and Supria, the latter is not shown, but Sameer's wife Anjali looks after this child, even after his death. The child is unaware until she is 21, when she comes from College. She wonders why her mother constantly keeps her shunting up and down, and when her mother tells the truth, she gets upset and leaves the house. Basically, she is a vivacious person, with lots of guts from a well to do and educated family. Due to her predicament, she uses white lies to get along in life.
Daksh a lawyer, brought up in a moral family has been ingrained with values of truthful behavior and any lie irritates him. His first encounter with Naina is in Sikkim, on a train, when she bluffs the TC that she is the wife of Daksh, to get the side seat, and the TC lectures him. Daksh's friend sees them and presumes they are friends, and later it is found that both of them were going to Darjeeling, where Naina's friend is going to get married.
The scene shifts to Darjeeling, and there are more bumping into each other, and Naina shows her skills at wedding planning at her friend's wedding and this is how she ventures into this line when she ultimately moves to Mumbai.
In Mumbai she tries to get paying guest accommodation and her first experience is with sexual harassment, from a father of the family, and she moves out and meets Daksh's mother at the jogging park. This leads her to Daksh's house.
In this household two brothers share the house. The elder one is Daksh;s father, and the younger one who has a nasty streak is Akriti's father. Finally she becomes a paying guest here, and comes to know that Daksh is "Chintu" whom his mother is waiting for.
Now the episodes move to Naina venturing into her first job, and where she goes as Daksh's wife, and succeeds, but Daksh is very upset with this arrangement. On the way back, the plan of the two mothers of the Older men, back fires that Akriti's suitor finds her odd, and rejects her, which upsets the girl who has withdrawn into herself, and tries to commit suicide, and that is when Naina and Daksh return and they all rush her to hospital.
Naina in the last episode bares the whole truth to the couple who engaged her for the wedding planning, but they still want her to continue.
You see in this serial, a clear type casting, of the natures of individuals, and the consequences arising from the interaction of these people. We hope that Akriti's father makes a move to change, and so too Naina and Daksh. We do not see only negative streaks in a nature, we see a pendulum of qualities which swing to either side, so there is hope one would see the other side of the person and make rapprochement.
Actors are there to portray characters, and one should not be confusing them with the person of the Actor, but keep his nature and character in mind and guess which side you would like him to go. The writer of the story may have another take, and there lies the intrigue.
