I am a sucker for opposites attracts so I am definitely loving these parallels. You know it's funny you said that because he hasn't brought up healthy eating in a long time now, not since the cooking contest. He's all about taste and presentation now. And given his character, being a health freak would be completely justified. I wish they would concentrate on that too.

Since his prejudice seem so deeply rooted, I'm hoping for a slow gradual change. I really don't want their story to be rushed. I want a natural progression of things, no matter how long it takes.

Also, I'm actually pleasantly surprised with everyone's acting in the show. Shaurya's seems a little forced at times but Mehek's comes so naturally. It's hard to believe that this is her first show.



@ red- Me too!
He is always holding a glass of milk, that's enough indication for his concerns about health.😆
Their approach to food & eating is quite interesting..I'm sure there'll be some clash of values over use of ghee & fortune olive oil and Catch salt in their kitchen soon.
Coming to acting, I feel Shauraya is doing pretty well as the angry rich man & Mehak needs little more energy.She is overly subdued even when she's with her friend.
Anyway, I'm enjoying this pairing.

I too like the whole opposites attract so I like this couple. I just find their equation interesting and I am eagerly waiting to see more interactions between the two.

I think both of them are doing good in their respective roles considering their newbies. I believe Karan as the angry rich guy and Samiksha is good too.

you're right! Even I thought he might have his own reasons. He might have seen middle class men doing all sorts of wrong things out of greed... He might have felt people are obese out of laziness... and he might never in his life had faced someone who'd answer him back the way mehek did.

but are these reasons enough to justify his behaviour? I don't think so. Just because you found a black seed in dal, doesn't mean daal hi kala hai! but well, Shaurya is grown up that way. I understand how Cvs want to portray him. but well... I wish they tone him down a little. he doesn't need to insult mehek calling her fat all the time, or that tell us repetitively how much he hates middle class ppl...

my pov. no offense


None taken. :)

I agree with you that this doesn't excuse his behaviour towards Mehek. However, I firmly believe that the reason he lashes out at her so harshly is because she does affect him on some level and that's something he is not okay with. So he's on the offensive, using his defense mechanisms to negate her and is constantly pushing her away harshly. By treating her that way, he hopes she'll go away and he won't have to deal with her anymore and those weird feelings that she bring out in him - feelings like annoyance, irritation and discomfort. Things he has never actually felt towards anyone else so far.

When you think like that, you actually feel pity for Shaurya, bechara has no idea how to deal with the turmoil Mehek brings into his life, already.

LOL @ Fortune Olive Oil. 😆

I find it interesting that he's a celebrity chef yet refuses to taste anyone's food. Aise koi kaise judge kar sakta hai bhai? But I think that's another indication of his healthy eating habits.

Shaurya's acting is on point. Mehek I feel is still in her cocoon, like her character requires her to be. She'll come out of her shell soon, just wait and watch. This pairing is all kinds of awesome!

we know everything about Mehak but Shaurya still remained a mystery... what his problem with "middle class" and why he give extra emphasis to this term?
we will get to know him more as the story of his life will be unfolded front of us... but right now I can say he is very rude, mean and unfair with her.

@TM - I enjoyed reading your defense of shaurya. I can understand his mistrust and disdain. However, his dislike is focused on mehak. It needs to be more universal. Plus if this is his real character, it does not jive with his ultra-nice online persona. I think CVs need to tread carefully so that shaurya remains a believable character.

I think he has taken her as a token representation of 'middle class' people in his head and thus treats her this way. She's become everything he hates about middle class in a human form and so he lashes out at her. Its not at all based on who she is or what she has done, its about what he perceives her to be and what she represents to him.

Sad, wrong and highly unfair. Let's see what changes then!
