The entire family breaks down by recalling Karan’s last meet, when he arrives to inform them that he is still treating Corona patients and will need time to come back home.
Amrita slips into past. She recalls her last meet with Karan. A detailed scene of Karan is seen with his family. Karan tells them that he will be fighting the battle with the pandemic and save lives, as his profession teaches him to do so. Karan makes a leave from the house, unaware that he will not be able to return. Amrita asks Nimmo to not go to the office once again to ask for Karan’s ashes.

He struggles to find a good job before his family learns the truth. Angad refuses for the marriage, but the family convinces him. The Sakhujas take the alliance talks ahead with Meera’s family. Meera’s dad Krishnakant refuses for the alliance. Krishnakant has turned phobic to get Meera married in the poor Sakhuja family, who lost their son Karan recently. Krishnakant wants Meera to marry in a rich household, where no problem reaches close to her.
Our Take:
The show brings a simplistic and practical story of the Corona times. It also highlights what a doctor’s family goes through, especially when the doctor passes away while treating people in the pandemic. The scenes of neighbors criticizing Karan, knowing the fact that he is fighting the pandemic for the people’s welfare is very realistic. The story seems simple, likeable and very relatable. Its purely a family entertainer. The drama can be expected to be high in the coming episodes. Pritam’s entry happens in the weekend’s episode.
Pritam’s characterization will be unveiling soon. The characters of Amrita and the rest of the Sakhuja family seems real to life. The leads Esha and Hasan strike a chord with the audiences right from the promos. Their chemistry would be something to watch out for. Their contrast characterizations will surely appeal to the audiences. Rest of the actors look well-cast and portray really natural. Show is definitely a must-watch.
Overall:
A fair attempt by Star Plus. Lead actors’ pairing looks fresh. The concept is really positive.
Our Rating:
