i'm watching it from the first episode but i got hooked to it (and crazy about it )after Naitik's entry...
What i love about this show is
1) the family set up. Usually we see in all serials that devrani jethani always end up fighting/getting jealous of each other/ scheme or plan for the property ...but here, Rajshri and Sunaina live like two sisters..and both of them love each others children more than their own ...Same is with Naitik's family..Bhabhi ma and Gayitri share an amazing relationship , Nandini is more close to Gayitri than bhabhi ma and bhabhi ma loves Naitik & Rashmi more than Nandini .....
2) Although Naitik, Akshara, Rashmi, Shaurya, Varsha belong to the new generation, yet they are bound by the traditions and values of their parents..They respect their parents a lot and never oppose them ...Nowdays children hardly care about their parents, specially in well to do rich families...Here, all of them are papmered still they stay withing the constraints set by their families...their parents respect and honour matters a lot to them.....i wish I could give the same sanskars to my children...
3) the simplicity and realism of characters and the story....The scenes between the family members are so realistic..they're picked from day to day life..it's like we're watching a home video ...
All the characters are realistic and they have an important place in the serial...the focus never stays on one person only...Our moms might not get hyped up every minute like Rajshri but yes, they get worried about each and everything that's related to us..they do give us tips on what to do , what not to do when a boy is coming to see us..they do get worried that nothing should go wrong , humse koi galti na ho jaye.....naye log naya ghar, meri beti kaise rahegi? apne dil ki baat kisse karegi? khana theek se khaya hoga ya nahi ! all moms show the same concern for their daughters ! i always get emotional when i hear it bec. i've gone through the same ...although my daughter is just 3, when i think tht she'll leave me one day, i just can't control my tears...
4) Akshara & Naitik....I think therez an Akshara in each one of us...all of us girls must have thought "whydo I have to leave my parents house?" "will I be able to adjust in the new environment after marriage?" "how will my husband treat me? will i be able to win their love and affection? " ........
therez a Naitik in all of us ...We might not fight over Katrina is better or Aishwarya but we do fight over issues which are sillier than this ! and when ego comes in, refuse to bow down, say sorry.."WHY should i say sorry first? It's not my fault ! I'm also hurt...you don't care about my feelings? you don't love me? " .......All husbands might not do what Naitik did..climb up the pipe to meet Akshara but yes, they try to manofy their wives in all possible ways !
All of us are impulsive, might not do the best thing possible ..might not say the best of things..we have imperfections......we all re pampered by our parents..how many times do we see things from other person's perspective? EXACTLY like Naitik and Akshara !
5) I always loved the theme of the show..tht's what i'm repeating from day 1 when i came to this forum that "real love can happen only after marriage" tht's the reason i started watching this show frm the very beginning..when the promos were aired, when i heard it on the FM, i just loved the concept....It's extremely well handled & narration is excellent till now....after marriage it's gonna be even better bec. then we'll see the real love blossoming between Naitik & Akshara...When they actually try to get used to each others habits, each others nature, moods..Also, Akshara's adjustment in the family will be major issue because normally a girl never gets the same environment in her sasural which she's used to in her parents house..these pressures can throw you in depression sometimes...
I'm extremely happy that they didn't rush up the marriage...because courtship period is the BEST time of one's life ! this time never comes back so one should make the best of it....you're in some other world at this time ! the love & understanding which develops during this time helps the couple in adjusting with each other after marriage..
