Writers forgot that they have a male lead who is a surgeon who is accomplished which would mean he would be at least in his mid 30's. Fine you want to write that because he has never experienced love before that when he has his first love he turns sort of childish and lets his inner child out that's okay. But there are ways to do that and still maintain the mature nature of the person.
Akshara is younger so yes having her do things immaturely now and then makes sense but she is also suppose to be a bit mature as she is the older sister.
When HC or PR are given mature dialogues and appropriate scenes they are excellent together. Their chemistry is there.
Visually what the creatives have is a handsome mature looking man who still has some young freshness in him and you juxtaposed that with a woman who has feminine cute features and it plays up the troupe of mature man with younger female. I don't know if I explained that well. But we see all yhe time in movies and other TV shows.
Its the writing that is not up to mark. Hence people focus in on the age difference.
Sorry to jump in, but if they didn't caste as per the story then it's a creative failure in my opinion.
The story is the hero always. Be it movies or show, it's the art of storytelling, and in storytelling you need to keep story as base and create everything else around it.
I for one think there was no relationship development phase for abhira so it lost the charm too soon for me because even i started to watch the show first for harshad and pranali individually, within a week i was in abhira fanclub and in another week i bid goodbye to the show.
