Aafat has an amazing story and dwells into the age old patriarchy belief and takes us through the struggle of real life situations that every women faces when she is subjected to be somebody’s bride. The situations are put forward in a very humorous and light manner but take through the message directly.

Sidharth Bharadwaj, who plays Ricky could be the cutest person you could imagine in the role and he does complete justice to his stand. Aditi Manchanda, Nikita Dutta, Chitranshi Rawat, Neelam Sivia and others play their characters to the hilt.

The best part about the series is that it throws out in the open urban patriarchy.
