The much-awaited new season of Bade Achhe Lagte Hain finally premiered, and fans couldn’t be happier. Ekta Kapoor’s romantic drama returned with Harshad Chopda and Shivangi Joshi stepping into the lead roles of Rishabh and Bhagyashree. Audiences had been counting the days for this story to unfold, and when the first episode aired, it instantly created a buzz.
The episode opened on a rather peculiar note. A stray dog named Kaddu was seen digging into discarded food from a neighbour’s dustbin. The act left garbage scattered all over the area, upsetting the residents. Irritated by the mess, neighbours summoned Bhagyashree and began taunting her. They questioned her choices, mocking her for living alone and not having anything special in her life. They even suggested she start feeding non-veg food to her dog to avoid such situations.
As New Year’s Eve approached, Bhagyashree headed to her office instead of joining the society’s celebrations. One of her close friends urged her to attend the party, but she brushed off the idea. Bhagyashree, who is the head of Tattva Cosmetics, surprised her employees by giving them an unexpected holiday, although she stayed back to work alone. While at work, a colleague requested her help in hiring a friend’s husband who had recently lost his job. However, Bhagyashree refused, stating she wasn’t in a position to offer opportunities at the moment.
Later, her friend’s husband visited to convince her to attend the society party, hoping she’d meet someone for marriage. Despite their attempts, Bhagyashree remained unwilling, still haunted by memories of her past. The man she was introduced to turned disrespectful, making unpleasant remarks about her life and decisions. Deeply hurt, Bhagyashree chose to leave the party and returned home, only to discover Kaddu was missing.
Worried, she rushed out to search for her pet. In a heartwarming moment, Rishabh appeared, holding Kaddu safely in his arms. Unaware of who he was, Bhagyashree quietly observed him as he gently spoke to the dog. A beggar approached Rishabh, asking for alms. Without hesitation, Rishabh handed over his entire wallet, saying, “Someday, this good deed will come back to me.” Bhagyashree, moved by his kindness, decided to thank him. However, a New Year’s crowd swarmed the street, separating them before she could approach.
Touched by the stranger’s compassion, Bhagyashree’s perspective shifted. She immediately called her colleague and agreed to meet the boy in need of work. She explained that witnessing someone’s kindness had changed her mind about offering help. The twist came when the job-seeker turned out to be none other than Rishabh himself.
Later that night, Bhagyashree received a call from her father, which left her visibly emotional. It hinted at unresolved pain and unspoken distance between them. This brief conversation hinted at Bhagyashree’s vulnerability beneath her strong exterior.
Fans were quick to express their joy online, praising the show’s fresh start and the leads’ effortless performances. Viewers appreciated the simple yet emotional storytelling and the natural chemistry between Harshad and Shivangi. Social media buzzed with positive comments about the relatable characters and heartfelt moments.
As the story moves forward, audiences are eager to watch how fate brings these two souls together. If the first episode is any indication, Bade Achhe Lagte Hain Naya Season promises to deliver warmth, heartbreak, and second chances in the way Ekta Kapoor’s classics often do.
