Our Take:
The show brings a common concept of a love story between two poles apart individuals with different backgrounds. The TV actress who is everyone’s favorite bumps into a heart surgeon one day by coincidence. Then their journey begins. They realize that there is nothing similar in their lives, profession and backgrounds. Rohit has no interest in TV serials, films and the artists. He is clueless about Sonakshi’s profession. Same way, Sonakshi has no idea about his professional commitments. The show brings a new age love story with fun elements to cherish.
Sonakshi and Rohit make the new TV couple to win hearts. The characterizations are sketched beautifully, and moreover realistic. Dipika’s character Sonakshi brings out the struggles faced by a daily soap actress everyday. Dr. Rohit is a practical character. He works hard in the hospital all day and plays football with his friends late night sometimes to cut down the stress. The leads pairing is something refreshing to watch. Their chemistry has been much evident since the promos. Since the show begun, their chemistry just makes their pairing more lovable. The reality touch is more in the characters’ dialogues. Its witty, close to real and fresh. Sonakshi wins her fame and status at the cost of her own happiness.
Dipika and Karan look fresh and much apt for their characters. They play their roles superbly and effortlessly. Supporting cast deliver their acts well. Dipika makes the character of Sonakshi more believable, keeping the humble attitude. The show has lots of drama in the form of Sonakshi’s successful show Kahani Parvati Ki. Rohit and Sonakshi’s interactions, his reactions on her show, his advice on her career and much more is there to unfold. The two fall in love while sticking to their commitments. Wonderful start with a nice pace of story line. Costumes, sets and visuals are up to the standards of a fresh brand new much hyped daily soap.
Overall:
The show is definitely an interesting watch. Such kind of drama was really needed on Star Plus to get a break from regular family drama.
