Hindi TV Serial – Geet – Hui Sabse Parai – The budding love story between Maan and Geet

On August 08, 2010 in Character, Drama, Geet - Hui Sabse Parayi, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Romance, Star One, TV

Geet – Hui Sabse Parai takes the story of a small town girl who is tricked by a NRI. Geet is the young and bubbly girl from a Punjabi family belonging to Hoshiarpur, who was married off to a very eligible NRI Dev from Canada, a dream prospect that her parents and family were so happy about. However, like it has been reported so many times in the recent past, this was a deceitful alliance, with the groom ditching her. It was a huge shock, and then Geet broke off with her family in order to go to the city.
Now, in the present, Geet is working with Maan, a successful but arrogant businessman. Geet was hired by Maan’s grand-mother, and started working with her in terms of taking care of her, something that Maan was somewhat skeptical of since he really does not believe too much in the capabilities of Geet. His office has its own sense of politics, with many of the office colleagues being bitchy towards Geet.
However, they start moving somewhat towards each other when they meet again in a dargah, and Maan’s feeling of concern towards her is shown much further when she is coopted along with a more senior colleague for a presentation towards a very difficult client, and when the client turns hostile towards Geet, Maan terminates the relationship with the client because he did not really like the way that the client behaved towards Geet.
Geet also is very apprehensive of the feelings that she is starting to feel towards Maan, and tries to run away from these feelings by maintaining a distance towards Maan. What makes it more complicated is that the person who deceived Geet, Dev, is the younger brother of Geet, and is making an entry into the serial again.
Characters:
Geet: Drashti Dhami
Maan: Gurmeet Choudhary
Dev: Abhinav Shukhla

Hindi TV Serial – Dil Mil Gaye – Siddharth and Riddhima moving closer together, while Shilpa getting closer to Armaan

On August 02, 2010 in Dil Mil Gaye, Drama, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Romance, Star One

Dil Mil Gaye is living up to the name of the serial, where couples are getting closed together. So, you have the troubled duo of Siddharth and Riddhima getting closed together, agreeing to live together, and getting more comfortable with the idea of a physical relationship between them. At the same time, ever since Dr. Shilpa was introduced in the serial, it was clear that she would be the girl for Armaan, and they followed the traditional pattern for a romance.
Initially, the relationship between them was more hostile, with questioning each other’s actions, asking strong questions of each other, helped by the fact that Armaan was still hurting to accept the fact that Riddhima would not come back to him, and was getting closer to Dr. Siddharth. However, as Armaan and Shilpa spent more time together, they were getting closer, and things turned over in the one night when they were out, and where Armaan got involved in a fight with a street gang, fighting back when Shilpa was threatened (and this seems to have turned the fight between them into the basis for a romance).
On the other hand, the story of riddhima’s birthday became more complex, when Siddharth was to setup a party for Riddhima, and asked Shilpa for help. She had Armaan’s old diary for help, where a description of a previous birthday party for Riddhima was listed (but without any reference to Riddhima); so when the party happened, both Riddhima and Armaan were shocked at the party. And the shock to Armaan was that he got drunk in the party.

Hindi TV Serial – Dil Mil Gaye – Riddhima still with Siddharth, even though Armaan tries to get her back

On May 12, 2010 in Dil Mil Gaye, Drama, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Romance, Star One

The serial Dil Mil Gaye on Star One seems to be going through a patch where everything is shown as happening in slow motion. So for the last many episodes (in fact weeks), it has been clear that there is a triangle in the serial (with the married pair of Riddhima and Siddharth, and then Armaan back in the serial) with a lot of confusion, doubt and emotions in the air.
Armaan now knows that Riddhima is married to Siddharth, and at the same time, given that Siddharth seems to think that Riddhima was always only with Armaan and that the marriage was a mistake, he pushed her away and went in for divorce papers. In that time period, Riddhima was angry with both of them for putting her in such a strange position and signed the divorce papers, but she wants to give the marriage a try.
And so, for probably the longest set of scenes ever shot in a basketball court, a lot of action happens there. First Siddharth and Armaan meet there, and then Riddhima later tells Armaan that even though he may love her, he is the past to her, and she is married to Siddharth and will not betray Sid, and that she signed the divorce papers in anger – however, she does want to get back with Sid. Armaan is heartbroken, and Shanky is now trying to console Armaan.
And now Riddhima goes to meet Sid, she is still angry to some extent, but she also wants to save her marriage, and so pleads with him to give the marriage a chance and that she wants to ensure that the marriage succeeds. However, Siddharth has some misconcepts after having seen her with Armaan and is not sure how much to believe her, and tells her about the same; this ends up ensuring that Riddhima leaves the place crying.

Hindi Serial – Dill Mil Gaye – the re-entry of Dr. Armaan in the show (when Dr. Riddhima and Dr. Siddhant are now married to each other)

On March 20, 2010 in Character, Dil Mil Gaye, Drama, Hindi Serial, Marriage, Romance, Star One, TV

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.
