I just found this thread, and what a beautifully expressed thought it is! I completely agree with everything you have said and I think one of the huge differences with this show was that the characters grew far past the actors. This is partly due to the fantastic writing and characterisation and partly due to GC and KS' convincing portrayals where they absolutely lost themselves in Yash and Aarti so much that you didn't know where one started and the other left off. Hats off for making the characters so real and so 3D that we were more interested in talking about them than the actors at any given point.
In many other shows, the actor bears the burden through their own hard-earned talent/fame/physique/look carry the story. Here, the story always carried the actors and with ease. Especially with two well-known faces like GC and KS, this is no mean feat, but they pulled it off like it was no big deal!
