Dil Mil Gaye, which started out as a serial depicting the struggles and efforts of people involved in the medical profession, is now turning out to be another Hindi serial in terms of twists and turns. So, a long time back, there was the perfect romantic couple of Dr. Armaan and Dr. Riddhima, but they had to break up, and the characters left the show, with a new set of characters in the show. One of the most prominent one was Dr. Siddhant (played by Karan Wahi); the serial makers must have figured that the ones whom the viewers voted as the most popular ones were Dr. Riddhima and Dr. Armaan, so first they brought in Dr. Riddhima. In true filmy style, Dr. Riddhima did not like Dr. Siddhant, but he liked her. And then came the time when he had to save her from dying of cold, and the way he did this was something that she detested. However, they got married because of family pressure and honor, and then she tried suicide. This caused Dr. Siddhant to get very negative about her, and finally tell her that he detested her. All these were incidents that made the serial become a very dramatic type of Hindi Serial.
And now for something that is even more dramatic, the re-entry of Dr. Armaan into the serial. He does not know about the marriage between Dr. Sid and Dr. Riddhima, and seems to think that Dr. Riddhima is still his love, and waiting for him. Dr. Siddhant knows about the earlier love between Dr. Armaan and Dr. Riddhima, and does not tell him about the marriage, although the other interns at the hospital feel that he should know the truth.
Hindi Serial – Dil Mil Gaye – Siddharth remains furious with Dr. Riddhima after her attempted suicide
On February 27, 2010 in Dil Mil Gaye, Drama, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Star One, TV
How can things suddenly change so much in a serial. In the serial Dil Mil Gaye (on Star One) till now, Dr. Riddhima was totally against Dr. Siddharth, and even when he saved her life by providing his body warmth to her (the familiar cliche about the body warmth being the only thing that can save a life in extreme cold), she was furious and wanted him to have let her die rather than saved her by this close intimacy.
However, the ever present concept of Indian society of honour makes its way, and now a marriage was planned between the two characters. However, she had to agree because of family pressure, and she did not want to see her family getting hurt. But, she really did not want to go through this marriage and attempted suicide by consuming poison. This was discovered by Dr. Siddharth, who managed to bring her back from the brink, and also managed to hide this truth from her family, who were just outside the door.
However, this attempted suicide shook Dr. Siddharth to the core, and he lashed out at her strongly, saying that he never wanted anybody else to give up their life for him, and now he rejects her. This brought about an abrupt change in her, but he is now very cold and hostile to her in private, although he is still polite when in company.
In a side note, Yuvraj admitted to this love that his story was false, and that he is not really who he claimed to be.
Marriage on the cards for Dr. Riddhima and Dr. Sidhant? – A moral question due to their becoming intimate
On February 21, 2010 in Character, Dil Mil Gaye, Drama, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Romance, TV
A few weeks back the buzz in the television industry had been that Dr. Riddhima and Dr. Armaan, the hottest pair of Hindi serials, from Dil Mil Gaye were set to return. Viewers had been waiting patiently, albeit a bit anxiously, for this beloved on screen couple to return and recreate their magic. Indeed such has been the chemistry of this duo that they had become the defining word for love and romance on television. Many loyal viewers were left heart broken when the lovely couple were taken off from the show. Despite the introduction of many new characters, the show was unable to recapture lost loyalty.
The creative team behind Dil Mil Gaye then decided to bring in one half of the pair and Dr. Riddhima (Jennifer Winget) was brought back. The story then proceeded to build a love-hate relationship (that was to ultimately culminate in love alone) between Dr. Riddhima and Dr. Sidhant (aka Sid), one of the new characters introduced. However viewer response to the same was lukewarm. It did not take long for the producers to realise that people were still waiting for Dr. Armaan’s return. Wisely they picked up this vibe and tried to weave in a narrative whereby the entire fault for Armaan’s disappearance and abandoning of Riddhima was laid on Dr. Shashank’s shoulders.

Armaan and Riddhima – A love story that will endure the test of time?
On January 25, 2010 in Dil Mil Gaye, Drama, Hindi Serial, TV
What is it with love stories? And what is it with certain television couples? No matter what the passage of time, they remain embedded in public memory, refusing to make place for other ones. The same holds true for Star One’s Dil Mil Gaye and its super successful love track shown between the lead pair of Dr. Riddhima (Jennifer Winget) and Dr. Armaan (Karan Singh Grover). The makers and team of Dil Mil Gaye could not have anticipated the kind of tremendous response generated by the love story between Riddhima and Armaan. Despite the fact that the actor playing Riddhima saw three changes, she along with Armaan remained a darling of the masses.
At the height of their popularity, the characters were written away from the serial. And then began the patient wait of all Dil Mil Gaye lovers that one day their favourite stars would return. In the interim period a whole new bunch of characters and faces were introduced. But despite their vain attempts, Dil Mil Gaye still remained Armaan and Riddhima’s. Giving in to popular sentiments, Riddhima’s character was brought back. And it was expected that soon Armaan would follow suit. However the team decided to try something new. They decided to replace the old love story with a new one.
