Um....they advertised it as a Gauna SPECIAL because it was an hour long instead of the usual half -hour.
By the way , Pratap's death was already in the story ; we knew he was going to be killed since November 2008 . Aaj Tak had taken an interview of Neha Marda , who plays Gehna , and she had revealed two bits of information :
a)That she would get pregnant but that she would want to abort the child
b)That Pratap would die and Sugna would get pregnant .
smittu : Pratap was never an important character yaar.....yes , relationships-wise he is important as Sugna's husband , the son-in-law , Jagya and Anandi's jiju-saa , but the character was never THAT important in the show . At the most , he was a recurring character . They were giving so much footage to him only in recent episodes . What I mean is , he was never as integral to the show's plot like Mihir in Kyunki and Prem in Kis Desh , these characters were principal characters in their respective shows.
