OK, i warn u it's going to be a very long reply , previously there have been 2 posts on this question, and i admit i wrote a reply but deleted it as it got long and i felt like i was blabbering too much so i didn't post it this is going to be my 3rd attempt.so here it goes...
as a rule i don' watch tv serials, but if something seems interesting i might watch a few episodes and soon get bored and abandon them. mostly i gathered that they were ott dressed, madeup housewives unrealistic and kitchen politics. so i avoided them like plague! my parent mostly watched news or a few selected dramas, so sometime in passing i would come across whatever they were watching and didn't like very much, but others if any nice epsode i would ask them about the story my mum would fill me in.any way i was sitting with them and saw the adverts for this new show starting seemsed interesting concept but me as usaull said no thanks, they all turn out the same after a few episodes.
many a times i saw trailers for it,but it was not enough to make me watch it.
any way don't know after how long the serial had started i came across one of the episodes. watched it as a one of because usually i leave the room when my family want to watch dramas. so i must be because i had to sit with my parents or maybe visitors so the tv was on and not paying much attention.
there were other tvs in the house but only one had connection to asian channels. so i dissappear in other rooms and watch whatever i want. then maybe a few episodes later i sat through another maybe with a little more attention here and again, i still wasn't bothered, then oneday i saw an episode with mishal i was impressed with his acting, next when i was sittting in front of tv my dad always said beta tu ne jo dekhna hai laga le nadi always said no there is nothing i want to watchas they would miss their programmes i can always watch what i want upstairs.
but then i saw laagi was on so i stayed and watched full episode properly for the first time. and it was good acting from both nakku and dutta i think it was the mangle sutra return scene. i admitted that the actors can act. but still thought that one good episode in a serial doesn't mean it's worthy of daily waiting for it to come for maybe 20 odd mins. so wasn't going to be a regular, then i saw the cliff scene. i was really impressed. still i had the same opinion but as it happened i had to sit with my mum all the time which meant i couldn't avoid being in the tv room with whatever was on so to avoid watching any thing other i would switch to colours and wait for laagi. then i started watcing it whenever i could. after wards i was no longer in my parents home and i was hooked so i watched all episodes from begining to the current track that time on net( i didn' get indian channels as i think there is a lot of rubbish on tv.).and watched them repeatedly over and over again. i think i became a proper mishal acting admirer from the jungle nakku dutta jacket -bandage scene. it was good to see sotething that i didn't turn away from after a few episodes. in fact couldn't get enough😆 after mishal left i still watched to see what happened to nakku. then the change of actor i went on to seee few episodes on and off, na acting main kuch tha na story main. i was disgusted by many things they show they ruined it totally my favourite was baaji couldn't belive what they did to him. oh i could go on about what they did to baaji it broke my heart to see a charactrer so beautiful to be ruined like that. achh.
so i was a reluctant viewer but i still wish they come back with it again and sort it out from where they ruined it from. but only with original cast and crew. so here end my blabbering i had to say as i wanted for a long time
