Based in the beautiful locales of Lucknow and on the backdrop of a hospital setting, KTLK is a different love story between two very different people with a substanital age gap. The show highlights the nuances of a complicated relationship when people with a huge age difference fall in love. Kuch Toh Log Kahenge' is a heartwarming love story between people from two different generations: a young, spirited Dr. Nidhi Verma [age 24] and a brooding and handsome Dr. Ashutosh [age 38].
The beautiful love story started with this note Swati. And it truly was beautiful and touching. Then something happened..and to this day, i am left wondering what and why!!
- Miraculous cure of Alzheimers
- A victim of domestic violence and abuse turns into a sadistic killer
- Baba's gioblastoma tumour (I don't want to start on this. At this point I wanted to actually kill the writer for making a joke out of such a serious issue)
- Divya (Daksh being a negative I could probably digest to a certain extent..chalo baap ke gaya hain...but Divya was supposed to be a victim of her father's violence!
They played with the sentiments of the audience and viewers left and right in each and every serious issue. In a country like India, where the movement against domestic abuse has barely begun, the whole thing and the victim were made out to be some kind of a joke! The tumour which stage wise step by step turns a patient into a living dead person before actually killing him / her was turned into a joke. We were patient through all these nauseating tracks. But at the tail end, we expected some light moments. NOT another joke of another serious issue. Do they even have any idea of what a biochemical pregnancy is?? If they don't want to show a pregnancy / baby track, don't show it. No one is forcing them. But why bring it up and thrash it to pieces? In the next 4 days, they can show whatever they want. They can show AshNi in love, AshNi in KGH, AshNi in holi and AshNi as parents to be. But for me, last night KTLK has sunk as low as it could sink. Not because of AshNi but because another serious issue has been turned into a sadistic display of sarcasm and joke.
AshNi were, are and always will be a loveable couple for me Swati. The characters and their love for each other has brought out the writer in me. There is no denying that. But if the same writer and CVs are going to continue in season 2, I do not have the patience to invest my time and energy to put up with them. Not because I do not want to see AshNi. I would love to see them..just not the way these CVs are hell bent on showing them!!
