The second season may have got off to a racy start, but the plot basically remains the same. In the latest episode, Vidushi Khanna tests her boyfriend Debanshu Bagga's loyalty to her. They have been together two years. An "undercover agent" is assigned to lure Debanshu.
What's new: Vidushi approaches the EA team only at the urging of her sister Alisha, who doesn't trust Debanshu at all.
Hot host: Pravesh Rana, who takes over from Angad Bedi and Vivan Bhatena as the host of the show, offers the correct amount of sympathy and support to the two sisters. The former Mr India is caring, adept at making Vidushi comfortable even while discussing the most intimate aspects of her relationship with Deb. When he claims he is not here to judge the relationships being put to the test, you actually believe him.
What's hot: You get a sneak peek into the love life of complete strangers, and can comfort yourself with the fact that your partner has not yet given in to the temptation and put you up for a loyalty test. You suddenly have the licence to listen to a guy badmouth his girlfriend, list his sexual fantasies and have the moral right to condemn the cheat.
What's not: The quality of the footage is too good for us to believe that they were really obtained through hidden cameras. And footage is often repetitive. And the dumb old question: Yeh dekhkar aapko kaisa lag raha hai? Isn't it obvious how Vidushi feels? Do you really expect her to verbalise it?
The verdict: Watch it only if you are ready to go to any lengths to indulge your voyeuristim.
