Armaan's attraction to Riddhima is obvious right from the start. There are a lot of factors that made the love story of Armaan and Riddhima a compelling one, at least until they confess their feelings for one another. Last but not the least it created an amazing love story between Dr Armaan Malik (KSG) and Dr Riddhima (Shilpa Anand). It was one of the very few shows that brought in laughs and gave a very warm and happy feeling to the audience. It was one of the very few shows that showed something in regards to Doctors. It was one of the very few Indian shows that had such a handsome and charming leading man aka Dr Armaan/Karan Singh Grover. Let's start from the beginning, first thing first, Dill Mill Gayye was one of the very few Indian TV shows that catered to the youth, so the youth latched onto it pretty hard. One may wonder what is so good about the show and Karan Singh Grover that created so much hysteria, so let's get right into it. If that was not enough when he worked with Priyanka Chopra for a reality show even she acknowledged the hysteria that surrounded him. Karan Singh Grover also claimed that he got around 600 calls a day from fan girls. The kind of craze he saw was unimaginable, one time Dr Armaan gave out a made up telephone number on TV, and so many fan girls actually called that number and ended up harassing a businessman.

The hysteria his character Dr Armaan Malik saw is a rarity on Indian TV, he literally became a youth icon. Not only the show but even the actors became mammoth stars, especially the lead hero of the show Karan Singh Grover. This show was extremely popular amongst the youth, and again was a welcome change from all the saas-bahu saagas.

Dill Mill Gayye saw instant success, with TRPS going well above and beyond any show ever aired in the history of the channel Star One. Regardless of the criticism the show gets one cannot deny it's hysteria.ĭill Mill Gayye came out on 20th August 2007, it was a spin off to a successful medical drama called Sanjeevani. Another reason why Dill Mill Gayye is an easy target for criticiam is because the show was essentially based on Doctors, and I think it is harder to forgive showing mindless stuff in a medical drama then it is in a normal saas-bahu saga. Now while the show Dill Mill Gayye (DMG) may not be the best show in terms of content and realism it is interesting how only this show is mocked by a certain section of people, I think it is a very easy target since the show did see huge amount of popularity. A certain section of audience adores it, and has nostalgia attached to it, while a certain section of the audience feels the show was childish and even refer to it as "clowns mill gayye." What Made Dill Mill Gayye a cult classic?ĭill Mill Gayye, love it or hate it, you cannot exactly ignore it, even today Dill Mill Gayye is relevant and people talk about it.
