Do you believe in Love at first sight? Define/Justify.
Now, this is something about which am not sure. I have had many of my friends and peers telling me that yes, love at times does happen at first sight, its just that people realise it at a point in their lives when they suddenly begin to feel empty or restless regarding even subtle instances related to the person in question. But, what I myself deciphered from all these POVs is that love at first sight is like attraction at first sight in its nascent phase but like in case of the latter it does not fizzle out when we find flaws in the object of our desire. So, yes there is something like love at first sight but only time can tell how strong it is and whether it would transcend from the stage of being just an infatuation.
Does Love need to have a strong base? What do you think is the base of AshNi Love story?
In the long run definitely love needs a very strong base. Physical attraction wears out very soon and then it is the mental bonding that keeps people connected. At times, we may find that the person with whom we fell in love with in the first place is changing and may seem distant, then it is the strong base which decides whether the relationship will last or not.
As for Ashutosh- Nidhi, I feel the base is a blend of both commonness as well as uncommonness. Now, when I speak of uncommonness I don;t mean the almost 2 decades age gap between them . What I mean is Ashutosh is an introvert, very austere and reserved. For him, his job is important, he will never make spur of the moment plans and be careless about his job...whereas Nidhi is happy go lucky, chirpy and very gregarious. So, the age old saying that opposites attract applies in case of Ashutosh and Nidhi. But since, one has to have some commonality for bonding in case of Ashutosh and Nidhi it is their deep ingrained love, respect and caring nature for their loved ones. Also, both find happiness in small things like getting drenched in the rain and drinking tea from a roadside vendor. It may seem unreal but such things do happen. Ashutosh looks subdued and very grave but at heart he is still like a small immature boy who needs to soothing hand to guide him.
Is it love yet between Ashutosh & Nidhi? or an attraction budding into Love?
It started with attraction maybe because there is an element of forbidden fruit involved as well but now its budding into love. Nidhi has accepted it now, its Ashutosh's turn to do so. We have seen how he is almost everytime on the verge of tears when he speaks of Nidhi. How he takes a pause before speaking her name as though it is being wrenched out with painfully yet lovingly from his lips.
Is Nidhi just angry with Dr.Ashutosh or does she hate him now?
No, its blatantly apparent that she is only angry with him and that anger is not only because he almost ruined her career but because of the harsh and heartless manner in which he severed ties with her. The cherishable moments that she spent with him are currently overshadowed and tarred by that last blow that she was dealt. She does not hate him as we saw how she defended him in front of her father and there was a hidden avowal of her undying love for him as she said that "haq" dialogue and the way she said "shut up" vehemently when Rohan unknowingly asked whether Ashutosh was dead. She loves him for sure but now I think she has even crossed the stage of being angry and is deeply hurt.
Friendship is the first step towards Love, where did Mallika's baarah saal ki dosti fail?
Definitely, friendship is the first step towards true love as we ourselves saw that it was only after the breaking of the ice between Nidhi and Ashutosh during that 1st rain sequence that led to casual and hearty conversation between them..But every relationship needs space whether it is a platonic or a passionate relationship. Problem with Mallika is that she is suffocating even as a friend. Also, she has built a wall around herself. We have not seen anyone else apart from Ashutosh who is comfortable in her presence. And now, even Ashutosh is highly irate in her company. He is trying just for the sake of his 12 years of friendship and loyalty with Mallika to still salvage this relationship. For Mallika Ashutosh is an obsession, she won't let anyone enter Ashutosh's life. She won't change and won't let him change as well. She has only understood his exterior demeanour. When Nidhi sees him laughing and doing something which is not habitual as per his persona, she feels delighted. But Mallika does not like this. Mallika was not doing anything to enliven his life and make him come out of his shell. Also, all these years she was living under an illusion that one fine day Ashutosh would marry her. She should have understood long back that he is never going to fall for her. He himself said so when she proposed him recently. She was seeing the hints and indications all the time but refused to accept this as Ashutosh was single. I am quite sure that if Nidhi never came in Ashutosh's life, Mallika would have continued living under the illusion that Ashutosh loves her and would never have got married herself as well.
If Ashni werent a pair then has Rohan the potential to be Nidhi's Love of life?
Rohan is a very sensible guy (I am quite sure the CVs wanted to build the character in a manner so that he may seem sensible but maybe Karan goes OTT in those candid comments of his at times)...He knows what makes Nidhi tick. Dissuade her from doing something and she would immediately become determined to do it. It is because of him in a way that Nidhi has got semblance in her life. Yes, he does have the potential of being Nidhi's Love of life..but frankly speaking, I would forever think of Rohan as a friend if I were in Nidhi's shoes. When someone like Ashutosh is around one can't have second thoughts about him despite all the difficulties attached to such a relationship...😍
