Better than a soap opera

The first thing bound to catch the eye is the stunning production design, couple of shots in the beginning itself scream fancy yet tasteful. Besides being an eye candy, 'Kehne Ko Humsafar hain' isn't harsh on other senses either. It's a well-done drama with a coming of age plotline and complex characters.

Rohit (Ronit Roy), a husband, and father of two stopped being in love with his wife a long time ago. He finds himself and his solace in Ananya's (Mona Singh) company who is an established interior designer and a pious soul. Rohit's wife Poonam (Gurdip Kohli) a resolute traditionalist, is although aware of her husband's affair but reluctant to address it. She believes that marriage is a sacred institute and must not be fiddled with. While her daughters feel differently on the topic, it's extremely hard to judge who is in the right and who is in the wrong. This quandry turns out to be extremely thought provocking and its execution can be credited to solid portrayals of multifaceted characters with substance. Writing is surprisingly fresh, modern and nuanced.

Overall the show is a great pick with a theme addressing heavy, meaningful questions and some pleasant performances by experienced actors who do justice to the ethos of the show.
