Did it happen in Pavitra Rishta too? Dont recall. I kind of totally stopped watching that serial before any leap around the time the hero was being forced into marriage to some rich guy's daughter to pay off a debt😆
Pavitra rishta...how you could be so precise out of numerous EK shows😲
i guess maybe there they did that for the lead's son who was given to her sister for raising. She fled with him, train accident or simple missing... concluded dead/missing...rediscovered after years later. not sure about it though.
rest it was all about
A & B cant get together bcoz of XYZ compulsion.
So A forces B or B forced to get married to C .
A left the city to unknown place.
C continuously doubting B for having feelings for A thus doing double crossing.
accidentally A- B bumps into each other after years ...still stuck with each other...just putting up with their partners for the sake of each other .
later partners became equally mahaan & left them for their good.
Children hating one of the separated parents.
i have seen it in parts till ankita's marriage to her boss.
