Had too much of exceptations from this show but it became mills and boons story. None of the characters are interesting , the side characters have a more interesting story . I saw a recent scene where Riddhima was begging from kabir , and I lost it. Literally she has become the helpless bahu character and does not have a interesting character arc ( the ff writers here I think gives her better character growth). This show was supposed to be a Romatic thriller show not a love story , there is nothing thrilling here it is so predictable. I know I should tell this but this production house has given Sonashki bose ( one of the best itv female leads who does not tolerate a shit) , sanyukta agrawal and even given tara ( who was manipulative, cunning) but now wrote Riddhima ( they are least focussing on her character development). Helly should improve her acting especially in her emotional scenes ( I found her so bad in the scene where vansh died and it's first time I found her acting this bad in any of her show )
Vansh's character ( keeping aside all my criticism against Rrahul's acting) does not have surprise element as they promised. He is written little better than Riddhima. I literally don't get this itv's obsession with grey shaded character manhandling female lead and being abusive. I don't get into that.
Kabir's character interested me to some extent still he became annoying and tossed off without layers. Vishal is amazing in his acting (except few times). Ek hasina thi was not amazing thriller show but it gave us a villian like Sakshi goenka ( who is intelligent and manipulative) but still had a grace but here though the thriller does not have mind games but mostly depends stupidly made plans.
The only tolerable character I find in this thriller may be his ishani
This is just criticism. I don't want to spread negativity, enjoy the show and I have a nice time fangirling it.
