Have to admit, Akash is perhaps one of the most decent and relatable male protagonists I've seen on Indian Television since a long, long time.


He's neither the borderline abusive, angry young man types so adored by the masses(including yours trulyπŸ˜‰), nor is he completely soft and docile. He's very, very human, and a relatable one at that.


He is very courteous to all the ladies- be it Ananya, Mahima and her sister, and even Natasha. Not disrespectful towards them like the sneaky Capt. Rathore, the flirtatious Karan or the worst of the lot- Prashant 🀒 who harassed Ananya at her place of work.



At the same time, he is stern while on duty, which is a professional requirement, considering the immense responsibility that his job brings. And is also moody sometimes, natural because of the 'double life' he is leading. He can't seem to catch the perpetrators responsible for Mahima's death, who are also perhaps the ones he's looking into.


And his treatment of the female protagonist- he underestimated her initially and squabbled with her. But he was quick to recognize his fault, as well as Ananya's potential.



He doesn't grab her arm or belittle her. He's not chauvinistic, doesn't patronise Ananya, but guides her gently by banking on his experience. For eg, the way he acknowledges her as a good first officer who needs to occasionally have a sobering effect on her superior officer and put her foot down when he's being impulsive or wrong.



He seems more at ease with Ananya now and there's this good camaraderie between them. Loving their dynamic, which at present seems to be more of a mentor-mentee relationship, and seems to be progressing fast into a good friendship. He seems to be in awe of how much she lets her heart rule her decisions, and how determined she is to succeed in a largely male-dominated field. The way he encourages her is awesome.


Kudos to the writers for giving us a hero we can like, admire, and relate toπŸ‘

You have analysed perfectly and made an apt summary of Akash' character.
He is a reflection of any real human you might come across in your life.unlike other reel characters who are either too rude and abusive or too romantic or cheesy. Thee are some characters who are 'kadus' in the beginning but after love has stricken them they be one softy ... Hope Akash doesn't change is behaviour at all. We like this Akash and Ananya with a little nok-jhon and friends hi and love blooming.

^ You said it all, my friend. Like other TV heroes, he doesn't swing between the two extremes, but comes across as a dignified and decent human being. A gentleman.

Akash's character is very well portrayed in this serial. As you said it is a rarity on Indian TV, he has not manhandled her, he is only rude when the situation demands it, he is a pleasant character otherwise.
Also Ananya is real as well. By now as in most serials, Ananya should conveniently slip and fallen into his arms. For once she is not a clutz, or a damsel in distress. Although I wish in the drug episode she could have run as well as he did, but for a Star Plus heroine she has been upright throughout :-) Oops maybe I jinxed it and in the next episode she will probably fall into his arms!

Exactly. He is genial most of the time, but is also occasionally moody. And very real😊

Hi Smavia! Good to see you here too😊

And thanks for the appreciation😳

Yudi is an awesome actor indeed. He portrays Akash really well. Kudos to him.

As for Mahima dying, I was sad too. She always behaved decently with Ananya unlike Natasha and the others who seem to be up in arms against her. But I guess it's an impetus for Akash to probe the matter further, since the loss affected him personally.


It's very thrilling to think of all the possibilities, and to guess who is behind her death.

We seem to have the same taste in TV shows. Loving this so far, it has brightened my Sunday nights considerably.

Well said.πŸ‘


Akash as a character is an extremely rare species on Indian Television. I personally like how he is genial most of the time with his colleagues, including Ananya and Natasha, but when they're working he assserts his authority, which is how it should be. He seems to be able to demarcate remarkably between his personal and professional lives.


And Ananya is interesting too. She seems to be ambitious and smart, determined to make a mark in her field. Usually professional women aren't portrayed well on Indian shows, but this again is a rarity.


And no, don't think you jinxed it.πŸ˜† She's far from being the typical damsel in distress type, the klutz who falls straight into the hero's arms.



I am sure of that because this is a finite series and they don't have time for all that jazz. 😳 But I do think that at one point she'll be in danger because of talking with Mahima, which was snooped on by someone. They might think that she has potentially incriminating info that Mahima shared with her. So we might get to see her in a life threatening situation and Akash saving her. I wouldn't mind that cliche.πŸ˜‰



I guess she couldn't keep up with him because he's had military training. But pilots are supposed to be in good physical form, nah? I am unsure about thatπŸ˜• But still, I like her very much. Just a professional woman from an urban environment like many of us trying to make an identity for herself.

Great post πŸ‘πŸΌ agree with all points...though i took him to be a little stuck up and AYM types during the first epi, after that donor heart saga it became clear that he is a perfect gentleman with a compassionate heart..

Maybe this story is going 'ek tha tiger' way and Akash could be a spy or a interpol agent out on a secret mission...lets wait n watch..
