First of all, amazing post! I couldnt tell it better. When Kriya left, all of us thought that they would take some time to open the suspense. That didnt mean that they forget the issue completely right?! I mean, a guy gets dumped on his backside and he doesnt have the right to know why? Shakti not coming back is acceptable with me because I understand her sentiments. She did make Kriya memorable and immortal but does that mean that they would 'magically make her vanish' once Shakti is unavailable? Rey needs to know the truth so that he can COMPLETELY move on and not behave like a confused soul. Taani is...what do I say? Her character is half baked. I guess the writers were in a hurry to get a girl into Rey's life and chose the typical saas-bahu type character. Its predictable, irritating and clingy. Also, what are they showing? That she could be with both Shivam and Rey but love Rey? I mean, how is she innocent then?! Swayam was the most sensible character till now and this complication has taken its toll on him too. His frustration at Taani on one side and care on the other is understandable. What I dont understand is Rey's illogical lust and pampering. He is SOO not this! Its like he is on the rebound from Kriya and desperately wants someone to show as his girl. Many changes needed yaar, but basic things could be done:
1. Reveal the Kriyaansh fiasco
2. Make Rey seem normal.
3. Let Taani mature on her own.
Its a desperate request from a frustrated D3 fan I guess =)
