While I appreciate the concept, I hope they don't make it too dramatic like most daily soaps. The pairing seems interesting though - Sharad's intensity with Niharika's freshness could work well.

Not sure about the age gap romance concept - feels a bit unrealistic in Indian context. But will give it a try only because of Sharad sir. He can make any role believable with his acting skills!
