Its obviously a subjective complaint, given everyone has different favourite bits.

While theres instant infatuation between Roopa and Ravi, theres palpable tension and tangible sparks between her sister Rekha (Sangeeta Handa) and Ravis aloof best friend, Rahul Mehta (Tanrun Dhanrajgir).

Even though Austens story is set in 19th-century England, the story finds ground in Indian culture, she adds, noting that any mother of daughters, especially back in the day, would be concerned about her marital prospects.

It was the gentle, clever touches that made the family come alive.

So the sisters first appearance is when they are in the middle of a game of Scrabble.

It at once establishes their bond as well as the fact that these are educated women, they are comfortable speaking in English yet they stumble upon words not all of them know, which is instantly relatable and comforting.

I have watched everything Jane Austen and I am so delighted with Trishna, which met all my expectations, Rushika Banerji, a student at TISS Hyderabad, tells ThePrint.

Rekha oozes the essence of Lizzie Bennett and watching her relationship with Rahul was a delight to watch, she adds.

While the mother wants her daughters to get married at all costs, the father neither obsesses over marrying off his girls nor does he force them into relationships, and often puts their life choices over his own preferences for them.

The name of Doordarshans show adds a different dimension into the story.

My aunt used to tell me about the show all the time, I finally get to watch it, Rushika enthuses.

The best of journalism is shrinking, yielding to crude prime-time spectacle.

Sustaining journalism of this quality needs smart and thinking people like you to pay for it.

More so when Captain Vinod and Roohi Run away Together thats Where the story Takes a Dramatic Turn to Untie the Proud Rahul Mehta and The Prejudiced Rekha Anand.

Only 6 episodes. If u can then upload on u r YouTube channel.

If the star cast of the show can be brought together for an interview, especially Tarun Dhanrajgir and Sangeeta Handa, it would be great.
