Dadi feels better hearing his yes. She tells them that Yamraj will take her once she sees Abhishek’s bride. Abhishek gets to see much drama at home. He asks Dadi why does she act this way. Dadi tells him that she really had ache in knee, not heart. Dadi wonders how will be Abhishek’s wife. She names the qualities of an ideal bahu. The family tries to find the girl for Abhishek.
The concept of love blooming in a contract marriage is seen many times on tv. This show is just focused on this track since the beginning. The supporting cast does not surprise much. Lead actors do a decent job. Their screen presence will get better once the viewers get adapted to watch their pairing. As of now, they look adorable to some extent. It can be said that Mohit and Prithvi were far better in their previous roles. Both the talented actors have much to show up. Chemistry between the leads would be seen well in upcoming episodes.
A light hearted comedy with pinch of drama, romance and lots of expectations for love to happen between the leads. The show would be a good relief for rom-com lovers.
