I watch some ITV shows purely because I love the houses. Like the apartment in second episode of Teri Meri Love Stories, Kunal Mauli's apartment in Silsila and Viaan's house in Katha Ankahee.
Are there any ITV shows which makes u wish, u own a house like that in future?
A character whom I wouldn’t fully support, but for whom I’ll always have a soft corner, is Aarohi Goenka/Birla. In the beginning, she was definitely a spoilt, rude and somewhat selfish brat, and there were plenty of moments when I couldn’t agree with her actions. But what I genuinely appreciate is that she eventually changed for the better and showed real growth as a character. She became more mature, understanding and self-aware, which made it much easier to root for her.
What I love most about Aarohi, though, is how fiercely career-oriented she is. She takes her career seriously, is ambitious, hardworking and wants to build an identity of her own. I really appreciate that the show portrayed her as a woman who values her independence and professional aspirations rather than making her entire life revolve around romance. For me, that is one of her most admirable qualities, and I honestly wish the makers had explored this side of her even more.
I also wish they had introduced a proper second male lead for her after Neil, someone whose storyline was actually centred around Aarohi and who could complement her ambitions rather than simply being another romantic complication. I think Aarohi had the potential for a really interesting journey as an independent, career-driven woman finding love on her own terms. She may not be a character I’ll defend blindly, but she’s definitely one I’ll always have a soft spot for—and her ambition is a huge reason why.
I keep seeing ads of these micro series on my insta. Does anyone even watches these? Y r so many itv actors acting in them?? Sometimes they look so cheap and vulgar. Are they not getting work on ITV?
I keep seeing many familiar faces of itv in these. Are they gonna replace tv shows?
Akanksha's interview in today's Bombay times. So, they are actually getting divorced, not a publicity stunt as some ppl claimed here.
Avantika from Pyaar Ka Dard Hai Meetha Meetha Pyaara Pyaara is genuinely one of the better-written career-woman characters in ITV.
What made her work was that her career wasn't just a decorative trait. She was ambitious, competent, financially independent, confident, and professionally respected, while also being a mother and wife.
The show didn't necessarily treat her career as something she had to "outgrow" to become a good wife/mother.
And importantly, Avantika wasn't written as the stereotypical “cold career woman who needs to learn family values.” She could be flawed, controlling, or difficult at times, but those flaws were personality flaws rather than consequences of being career-oriented.
For an ITV show from that era, that's actually pretty refreshing. ♥️🤌
Do u all agree?
She was such a hit with the audience. She became so pooular as Gopi just within 2 years. Why her Career never really took off post that? How do actors survive with just one hit show?
I wanna see these two..I know they both have done reality shows but wanna see them both badly on Lock upp or Big Boss type shows. Whom do u guys wanna see?
Did she give herself that title or did the audience give her that? Because I'm genuinely confused, who keeps calling her the "Princess of ITV"? Did she ever refer to herself like that? She doesn't even have that many hit shows to call herself like that.
