Summary

The show narrates the fresh love story of college students Anant Bajpai, and Navya Mishra.

Amidst riots on Valentine's Day in Mumbai, Anant saves Navya from a goon. They further befriend each other in college and mutually begin to develop feelings. Their romance is hidden and they have to constantly keep sneaking in and out to meet and spend time together, as both of their families have traditional conservative values.

Anant is the grandson of Shankar Dayal Bajpai, a man of renowned religious fame and power, while Navya hails from a middle-class family from Kanpur. When the families find out about Anant and Navya, they disapprove of the alliance but ultimately agree to Anant and Navya's love and determination.

The Bajpais, however, continue to plot against Navya and try to prove her unsuitable for Anant. Seeing this, Anant and Navya leave the Bajpai house, and settle in a small flat, working two jobs to make ends meet and struggling with each other's busy routines.

The Mishras support the couple, and try to make Anant's parents realise his grandfather's schemes. Navya finally manages to expose the truth about Shankar Dayal Bajpai and his sister Saraswati, and even Anant's strict father stands up for Navya and Anant. Shankar Dayal apologises, and Anant and Navya finally return home.

Production

Development

The title track of the series was composed by singers Vishal Dadlani and Shekhar Ravjiani.[5]

Cancellation

The series, due to its average ratings of 2-3 TVR, was finalized to go off air on 13 February 2012.[6] However, when it slightly increased averaging 3 TVR while nearing the end, the channel, on audience request, cancelled its end in the last minute and shifted the series to an evening slot of 6:00pm from its prime slot of 10:00pm (IST) on 14 February 2012.[7] However, it went off air on 29 June 2012.[2]

Reception

The Indian Express rated three stars and applauded the series as a fresh concept stating, "What works for Navya are its simple characters, especially the two protagonists. The tender moments between Navya and her father, the typical mother-daughter relationship or Anant's equation with his grandfather lends a warm touch to the show. The only hitch is its slow pace."[8]

The series opened with a rating of 3.85 TVR in the launch week, occupying ninth position in list of the ten most watched Hindi programmes of that week.[9][10]

The series in its runtime had an average rating averaged about 2 TVR and sometimes 3 TVR while airing at 10:00pm (IST).[11] However, soon it saw a dip in viewership in the slot and when changed to the evening slot, it did not deliver expected ratings in that slot and thus was canceled by the channel on 29 June 2012.[12][2]
