Rewatched a few old episodes recently & it was a whole different show!
In the crowd of Ekta Kapoor's dhum tana nana, this show was a breathe of fresh air with its realistic relationships & joint families.
Bhola is a prominent character as the house help & Akshara's rakhi brother. He has his own love story with another house help, Dhaniya (it has nothing to do with Akshara-Naitik). On another end, Akshara & Varsha have their own misunderstandings (that have nothing to do with Naitik). Simultaneously, Maheshwari's are having issues handling a teenage Anshu (this story doesn't involve Akshara). With Singhania's, the bahu to beti story meant how they eventually learnt to love their bahu's as their own children. Not a special promotion that Akshara got for being mahaan. Akshara-Naitik romanced/renewed their vows at everyone's wedding.. But privately, without stealing attention.
In older episodes, characters have personalities, growth, & their own lives. But in the Kaira-era, every family member & story is only a plot point for Kaira's love story. CVs are obsessed with them like a fetish.
Now, even YRKKH is a dhum tana nana show.
[I'm sorry for beating a dead horse. Rewatching older epis just made me nostalgic]
