Murder, mystery, mayhem on one side, and romance and friendship on the other - Netflix’s Class brings together all the elements that make for a super saucy drama. And, with the new students in the block and their tempestuously evolving relationships, the series is nothing short of an intriguing watch!
Among all the relationships that form and fall apart, one thing that stands out in Class is Dhruv and Faruq’s love story - the series’ most loving relationship - one that goes beyond just surface level attraction, infatuation or what one may call ‘temporary’ or a ‘phase’! Played by actors Chayan Chopra (Dhruv) and Chintan Rachchh (Faruq) who portrayed their characters to perfection, this love story was heartening - it tugged on our heartstrings and made us feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Here’s delving a little deeper into why Dhruv and Faruq’s story should be every love story everywhere and why they stole our hearts!
Dhruv and Faruq’s love story come together like pieces of a puzzle - slowly at first and then all at once
Dhruv and Faruq are poles apart. The former is the principal’s son - he works hard at school to be the ideal student, training hard to be a swimmer and is loved by his peers, while the latter is no good at academics, usually comes across as a loner who has also failed to meet his family’s expectations and is now stuck taking care of his father’s carpet business. With Dhruv wanting to escape his ‘perfect’ life and Faruq simply wanting to feel understood and accepted - their vulnerabilities spark the fire in their romance and they fit right into each other’s love puzzle!
Dhruv and Faruq’s love story is the perfect embodiment of ‘Love is Love’
Both actors, Chayan Chopra and Chintan Rachchh have aced their performances as a couple who are looking for an escape from their tumultuous lives and the expectations of perfection that come with it. But this is the struggle of every person, ever! Their performances combined with the bounty that is their storyline truly sets them a ‘Class’ apart. It does not differentiate their love from what society defines as love. As simple and as complicated as any other relationship, Dhruv and Faruq’s relationship goes through its own ups and downs but it’s the empathy, compassion and love with which they navigate these that warm our hearts.
Their love brings out the best in them
We suggest that you watch Class because of its edge-of-the-seat suspense, drama and out and out entertainment with all the juicy, catty fights in the series. Keep your eye out for Dhruv and Faruq’s beautiful love story. Coming out is not easy! However, since the time that both, Dhruv and Faruq, confessed their love for each other, they are seen as very accepting of each other and don’t seem to fear what the world thinks. In fact, Dhruv who is usually very shy, stands up to his parents as well as his best friend, Veer, and confess his love for Faruq courageously. And Faruq learns to accept himself and who he is without feeling weighed down.
If you still find yourself asking ‘why’ - it’s because amidst all the betrayals, manipulation and greed that will keep you hooked, the kindness in Dhruv and Faruq’s love story is sure to steal your hearts just as it did ours!
Class is currently playing only on Netflix!
