😊 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.
