Well I guess the majority feel there is a need for love triangle on Karol Bagh. I guess after reading the comments on the forum, the creatives will go with what will increase the TRP ratings. I, for one, protest against this abysmal storyline of a love triangle as it will take the story away from it's original premise. It appears the writers no longer wish to focus on the idea that Simi has been a long term reject with a weight problem and instead want to put her in a love triangle with a fabulous suitor who is perhaps likeable and with whom she falls in love. During the course of all of this, our hero Abhi now becomes a pathetic and remorseful fool.
Be prepared to lose our once delightful, charming, independent and confident young man, and instead watch him spend each episode mourning the loss of his loved one (I guess this is what the masses prefer). We will be left with a classic sappy rona dona drama where our hero must realize he loves Simi by acting as a jealous (so overdone and unorginal idea that if I could sell the number of times it was done I'd be a millionare) lover from a distance. Why torture the poor guy; he did so much for Simi and this what the creative team does to his character? Does the audience really prefer to have Abhi's character turn into this mess? Just the fact he was in love and could not express it really goes away from the original make-up of his character as a secure guy who understood relationships. He'd never given a girl flowers? What about this ex-girlfriend? Have the creative team now turned Abhi into a immature and inexperienced guy when it comes to girls?
I confess I will still watch this show but not in the manner I once enjoyed but as a bad accident happening in my midst. I thoroughly enjoyed this show until today's episode. However, from what I am reading the love triangle is what most people expect and want from desi dramas. After the saas-bahu, older man and childlike girl, this appears to be the third most popular storyline.
I am truly disappointed in Sunshine Productions creative team. Having studied creative writing and story development in school, there 101 ways this story could have headed without resorting to this approach or even getting them married. I am not sure how the creative team plan to have any more Simi and Abhi scenes now that Simi no longer wants to see him. This I will be amused to see.
So now I watch the kabab mein hadi drama meaning the new guy in Simi's life and a new luv astory which we all know will never happen, because Abhi and Simi are meant to be together (Yawn) but I have to endure this love triangle bakwaas for another six months before I get to see anything of substance. Gone is the light heartedness and humor in the original storyline that they could have built on.

I doubt they are the talk without this or see what they are closest to confess that I am disappointed as I say the opposite but if it must go through the Abhi confesses that it's true I feel in Simi certainly not say they (Simi and Abhi) will suffer all of their coteries but I think there are plenty of factors to take into account
1: RB not leave Simi is married
2: Simi sees things a different way of course his mother still has a grip on it.
3: Mili can help I'm guessing that she loves Abhi Simi

RB in the mix? Hey, why don't they just have her married off to that dodo. It seems the pathway that mom is going to take if this rishta from Anita's family doesn't work.
Mili helping? Not quite sure that's going to happen. Simi and her sisters don't share anything; it's as if they live in the house but as room-mates. Neither sister knows about her feelings towards Abhi and Simi has no idea that Neetu likes a guy. Very odd family.

Heyyy don't lose hope yet... Anything can happen! x3
I agree that the reason why this "kabab mein hadi" idea is so boring because we've seen it many many times and now it sounds too cliche.
Actually I was wondering, why did Abhi start loving Simi all of a sudden? I mean sure thing they were very close but from what his reaction had been after Simi said "Pyar to nahi karte".. He cannot magically love her =[ And change his feelings as friendship. Instead he should have just been normal instead of giving us false hopes. All this time Abhi was just helping her as a friend, but in my opinion love is way more than that. I want Simi to prove herself that she is worth Abhi and his love. Not because she's just one of those ordinary girls who have so many ups and downs in her life and there comes a prince and saves her and they fall in love. Why always Abhi doing everything for her ? She should understand that she is also his friend and there are somethings that even she should do for Abhi... I wish they had scenes where Simi would risk her life for him. Cuz only someone special would do that...
' Woops I forgot what else I wanted to say <.<
Soo uhm yeah .. Now instead of this boring plot...I'd rather expect Simi to stand up for herself and like Guruji said Grab your "haq" ..Abhi is hers, and putting all the pressure on Abhi, any poor guy would hesitate after it's a matter of love. Hence I can understand why Abhi didn't admit his feelings. Maybe he's still confused! But now Simi should take it all in her hands and make Abhi her strength instead of weakness .. Who cares about the age or anything else! If you love someone YOU LOVE HIM and which means you'd do anything for him... Not just stay quiet and calm or end the friendship...This just shows how weak Simi is =( ...

I totally agree with Laila. The frothiness of the serial and all the fun-filled light moments will die and instead we will be left with a most predictable and irritating story. They should develop on the older child woman younger guy happier in the company of more intelligent and mature women angle. I still do understand why abhi suddenly lost his nerve and couldnt admit to being in love with simi. It does happen. The enormity of the whole thing can make one tongue-tied however confident one is. Abhi should still continue being the way he is and Simi the way she is. That's what drew them together, the contrasts in their personalities, in their backgrounds. She makes her sillier and lighter and she makes him realize certain hard facts of life. They have so much to learn from each other and give each other. PLEASE creatives develop on these lines and do not kill such a wonderfully handled story so far. I live in Delhi and grew up in Karol Bagh. Though not Punjabi from any angle (South Indian to the hilt), it is awesome the way the whole Karol Bagh angle has been presented as well. Do keep up the good work and DO NOT get swayed by kabab me haddi kind of ghisa pita ideas PLEASE!!! Padma

😊 Guys you bring a smile to my face 😊
I thought I was alone here - the only who didn't want an awful love story triangle and an end to the happy-go-lucky and confident Abhi with him mourning his loss of Simi. I refuse to watch any drama where a girl is torn between two men who love her. The point I loved about this story line was no-one liked Simi and that she was the one struggling to find love and someone who liked her. With the triangle storyline and Abhi chasing after her, we've lost what made the story original in the first place. It will turn this drama into a typical drama no different from what is already on the television
By the way, here is my twist if they went the triangle way....
Rajender Seethi meets the guy, he turns out to be a smart, handsome guy. He has a stable financial business and is in his mid-30s. The guy seems very charming and delightful. Mr. Seethi insists that Simi meet him. Simi does; she finds it hard not to resist the guy - he seems really charming and fun. She is hesistant to be alone with him after the RB incident.
During the course of the romance, she and Abhi do not meet. Abhi realizes his friendship with Simi is over and meets a young and attractive girl from his college and embarks on a romance with her. He misses Simi but realizes that this romance will never be. (By the way we are going to make Abhi between 24-26, not 22, it's not the age gap ladies but his age that is the problem). Abhi is in his final year in college - let's have him doing his masters. His father hands him over a portion of the business (here's how we get Abhi financial stable to be with Simi). He manages the stores and using his creative ideas from college, manages to increase profits much to his father's delight. Of course his father and him have a number of conflicts. During the course of this Abhi also helps Simi's father regain his standing in the KB association. Father Seethi sees Abhi has his "adoptive son" and tells him if he had a daughter he would have married her to Abhi (Neetu is by the way engaged or married at this point and Mili is interested in the paying guest so he cannot offer anyone's hand in marriage - and of course Simi is going to get married).
Simi realizes Abhi has moved on in her life, this new guy is really wonderful, but deep inside she feels she does not love him no matter how wonderful he seems. However, she had to get married, and perhaps, after she marries him she will grow to love him. The guy wants to propose to Simi so she agrees to meet with him alone....

(The moment of shock). 😲
The charming guy confesses to Simi that he had chosen her because he realized that she was single and was not very lucky in finding a suitor. He admits he was never attracted to her, not that it had to do with anything regarding her looks - he's really never paid attention, but because he's gay. He in in a relationship with another man (Simi has met the friend, he is the guy's business partner). He was under pressure by his family to get married and he didn't know what else to do. He couldn't tell the world or anyone that he was gay. He could no longer reject girls time and time again.

When he had learned about Simi's situation from Anita's mother and seen her at the wedding, he knew this was the perfect opportunity for him to find someone and "cover-up" his lifestyle. He tells Simi he has no attraction to her (here is Simi now totally reminded of the fact she was willl always be the plump and ugly girl). He tells her that he knows her mother wants to her to get married and after the RB incident she will never find a good rishta. This is a perfect chance for her to get married, get a good reputation and social standing (he's got a good rep), and move on with her life.

They will pretend to live as husband-wife, she will have her own room, an income, she will never need to work. And if during the course of the fake marriage she wants to leave him after a few years, she can do just that. Simi at first is relucant about the idea, but realizes that her family are banking on this offer, so she agrees and.....
She does get married to him. The whole marriage is a fake and her mother starts to find out. Manju Seethi finds out the truth that her daughter married a guy who is gay, there is no marriage. Manju Seethi confronts Simi and Simi confronts her mother (this would be a great scene). She tells her mother that she got what she wanted "a good reputation in the community." She never cared if her daughter ever loved the guy. She never cared if she (Simi) loved RB. Her mother has spent her life fixated on her getting married and she's done it.
Manju is devasted and can't tell Rajender Seethi.
Matters get worse for Simi; the gay couple want a child and pressure Simi to donate her eggs and carry the child. Simi said she never agreed to it. Her fake husband respects her wishes and apologises and backs down. However, his lover is not too happy and starts to torment Simi. He then threatens to blackmail her and says he will reveal this whole sham marriage to her father and the community. Simi refuses to go ahead and tells him he can do just that but that it will anger his lover (Simi's fake husband).
The lover of the fake husband gets drunk at a party (we will make this Abhi's rooka) and annouces to the world that Simi's marriage is a joke and that he and the guy are gay lovers. Simi was never he wife and she sleeps in a seperate room. The whole room is aghast and Abhi realizes the truth about Simi and feels awful of her. Simi suffers horrific humilation. Rajender Seethi has a heart attack (he of course survives) and Simi has to get out of this awful marriage mess.
Abhi now has to ask himself, does he want to go through the marriage with his new girlfriend or is this a chance for him to get back with Simi. Will Simi confess her love for Abhi and tell him the truth...How about Simi's reputation in the community - will she be able to get that back??
Somewhere in the storyline I have to bring up the RB and Purvi storyline but haven't quite figured it out.
