 also started his acting career with this series.

The college life was the limelight. Those flirting characters, real romantic ones, college campus, teachers getting teased - all typical of a college – were shown. Hence many youngsters, school and college goers became the active audience watching it.

As the college life gets over and each one gets into their business, the transition was shown. The background music, sets, realistic lights, camera work attracted everyone unlike the glamorous and artificial lights of today’s serials. Everyone wore simple contemporary clothes - both men and women. Be it saris, minis, maxis, skirts, chudidars, jeans - women wore everything. Even men wore all kinds of outfits, formal and traditional dresses.

On parallel lines, contemporary business life was shown. How rich people curb the poor ones, how two different women - one business and housewife perceived life were clearly shown.
