I must confess beforehand that I have never seen Dhoop Kinare. I had never even heard of this show before I started watching KTLK. Since then, I have tried to catch glimpses on YT but that is all!

neither have i actually..the only reason i started watching KTLK was it had docs as main characters...

Coming to the theme, I think KTLK is taking it beyond where DP left it. To me, the true test of relationships and marriage lies post marriage. 'And they lived happily ever' after is a great place to end a story, The audiences can go back with smiles on their faces, dreaming of marital bliss for the couple. But is it so easy after all? Is marriage really a bed of roses? How much of hard work does it take to achieve that bliss? Is it even possible?

even when there is no issue of age gap, marriage is not always a bed of roses. irrespective of how close to a certain age you are, there are always differences in tastes, choices, even basic fundamentals and principles. at the end of each issue most of the time, one of the partner ends up compromising..am not saying thats a bad thing, just that its a big part in making a peaceful life for yourself and people around you. not letting your ego come between you and your partner is a big thing and if you are able to do that the journey can certainly be enjoyable and at times blissful.

I am really glad that AshNi got married. DP' had an interesting premise but that was never going to be enough for a daily soap content wise. The story had to go beyond their falling in love. There were only two ways to take it from there. Either show them breaking up on account of societal pressure or show them getting together. Am real happy the show chose the latter option.

Anybody can fall in love with anybody else. No big deal there! But what does it take to keep that love going? Particularly when you have more than a normal couple's share of issues to deal with. That for me is the interesting part!

AShNi do have to deal with more issues than the normal avg couple. this is a time when 5-7 yrs is treated like a generation gap. me and my hubby are 5 yrs apart, me being the younger one..my nephew who is 22 now one day asked me, "5 yrs?? maasi how did you say yes?" so 18 yrs is huge. Nidhi has the attitude of " why worry about tomorrow and spoil our today" and AShu the exact opposite. it would definitely be interesting to see these both building a life and family together despite the oddities.

I am really looking forward to being part of the AshNi journey hereon! I really hope KPji continues to keep it real and mature. I want to be a part of the crowd, rooting for AshNi, cheering them on as they love, fight, make up. I want to be part of their 'lived happily ever after' process!
