From the tiny, cutesy gestures of affection, early morning Sunday drives, obsession with kheema paav, little fights and absolutely endearing scenes, Dhruv and Kavya's tale has been an 'awwwww'dorable journey for their viewers as well.
However, life isn't always a bed of roses. It is time to remove your rose tinted glasses, wake up and smell the coffee. This precisely, is what the makers have attempted to portray. Welcome to Season 2 of 'Little Things', that has a lot to offer in the realm of relationships, emotions and life lessons.
The show seems to have a relatively slow start, with not much happening in the first two episodes. This season is not merely about our favourite couple - there are a lot more characters, their interactions and emotions involved.
Kavya Kulkarni comes across as the ambitious, independent, goal-oriented achiever, striving for promotions and money in her career, while Dhruv Vats seems to have claimed the title of sloth bear, especially after quitting his job. Kavya flies off the handle, accusing him of not involving her while taking decisions that affect them both. However, it is his character that the viewer finds to be more reasonable, than hers. It is him that Kavya's mother is comfortable with, sharing her college memories. The tables flip quickly, as Kavya finds herself to be the breadwinner of the house, while Dhruv stays back at home. The show portrays some of the most probable issues individuals could face in their relationship - gender stereotyping, confusion about feelings, inability to spend time together, possible attraction towards new acquaintances, intrinsic differences in personality types and of course, the crux issue - money. It is evident that Dhruv bottles up his feelings throughout the season, refusing to talk to his girlfriend about them. However, this does not do him any good as he combusts and loses his grip completely, and results in an explosive fight.
The tension is broken by occasional jokes and cheesy dialogues, but these are rarer than the previous season, where everything seemed to be hunky-dory in the honeymoon phase. Our favourite curly-haired Kavya, full of drama and cuteness is portrayed well by Mithila Palkar, while Dhruv Sehgal too wins hearts with his quiet demeanor, dry wit and whacky jokes.
One could go on to say that this season is dampening, dreary and grey, forcing us to accept the ground realities of life, but that clearly is not the case. Dhruv and Kavya discover that they're two completely different kinds of people, but that does not drive them apart. In fact, they decide to work on their differences as a team, and this decision brings them closer. Season 2 reminds us of the point in a relationship where the initial jubilation and excitement has died down, and you need to go behind your comfort zone to make your better half happy.
No, the journey doesn't end here. In fact, it's only just begun.
