Reading all the comments,
I just want to add my little bit.
First time i saw this serial, i hoped that on itv a little different topic is taken,
Moreover, i liked the way leads were introduced, further the way both complemented each other was superb. The idea of developing a friendship, caring bond and that unknowingly falling in love all superbly executed by actors, even script execution brilliant 👌👌👌.
But the day CM reveal happened, the way Kalpana reacted that was not anger, it was plain insult to all orphans.
How come the writer didn't anticipate what impact it will have on story and audience.
When They started showing nuisances then suddenly every thing changed. The TRP and viewers bashing came later.
Writers must have anticipated before how the audience would take it. It's like cooking food we know how much of ingredients should be added to make the receipe tasty.
They could have showed Kalpana and SB angry but not completely destroy the essence of story.
TTM had/ still now has all ingredients of tasty receipe but the makers need yo identify where they went wrong.
Best wishes nevertheless.
