The Devki track was an undisputed fiasco. For me, Prem died with Mukti after her accident.
They made such a mockery out of Prem's character. First he fell for Devki, which was painfully forced. They hooked up, had sex and then she vanished. Then he randomly married Palchin. To make it worse, Manoj was replaced by Vikas Sethi who couldn't justify the character to save his life. The subsequent 20 year leap, Devki's return and the ultimate circus that followed made me wish that Prem had died when Mukti did!
So in short, for me the real Prem was the one who loved Mukti and was played by Manoj Bohra. The rest of the crap was twisted and easy to ignore.
MB might host a show on Star One? I can get his apprehension. After Yudi/Prem, playing a lame character would only insult him. He and Tina should do Rishta.com type of shows. I'd so have watched it if MT were playing RI!
P.S. I was randomly searching for a different sig 'cause I got bored of my current one and came across this anti-Stefan siggie. 😆
