Watched the last episode of Mere Dad Ki Dulhan last night ... although I haven't been writing, I've been watching the show faithfully since it resumed after lockdown ... it reamined watchable till the end, with a few oddballs here and there ... understandable, given the circumstances. Shweta Tiwari came down with corona, Varun Badola's wife did too, so Varun had to self-isolate till he fortunately tested negative. Despite the hiccups, the makers managed to give us a nice fun show till the very end. They kept it light hearted for the most part, and the characters remained true to themselves ... helped, I guess, by the fabulous actors who played them. Varun and Shweta were very good all through ... I have to say Anjali, playing Niya improved by leaps and bounds through the year and she was so good to watch. Must have learned a lot with such senior actors.
All the rest too, the actor playing Doctor, Pammy mummy, the four friends - Kabir, Shree and Kajal ... all were fun and were just nice people ... the kind you might meet anywhere in real life.
Swara, poor girl, got a bit of a raw deal ... I would have respected her more (the character, not the actor), if she had realised Kabir's feelings for Niya and walked out the relationship herself, rather than clinging on to Kabir when it was so obvious he was with her on the rebound from Niya. Rishi (Shaleen Malhotra) also got a bit of a raw deal .. his character was quite weird and the transformation was one of the most poorly written tracks in the show.
Anyway ... good fun watch ... will miss my evening watch ... but will now catch up with all the shows online which I've been meaning to watch! I wish this team and these actors all the best ... I believe Anjali has already bagged a new show ... I will give it a shot for her ... and hope that I see Varun, Shweta and the others back on tv soon.
