Actually, you can't compare Gauri and Bhavya. Because Ishana's story never went as far as Saumya's did. Their story was not even halfway there when she made her exit. Then for 5+ months Om didnt even have a female lead, once he broke up with Ridhimma which was maybe a month or two after Ishana's exit, he was single for the rest of the time.
So when Gauri made the appearance it was a fresh slate and people had issues with the characterisation of Gauri, not with the actor playing her or her talent. People could also see there was a good chemistry between ShreNal and they complimented each other in the same frame.
So far in this scenario non of that is right. Also, Saumya was Rudra's "Wife". However, the marriage happened. People can't just dismiss that. The irony is BOTH his brothers said they don't accept their marriage but no one cared. But when Rudra says it, it's all cool? LOL. But at least Dadi understood the whole "We were drunk" thing and that does play a part in it. But there had feelings for each other. Not like Om and Ishana who's feelings were not yet well established.
So far I have not seen that "Spark" which I look for in a couple. But I am willing to give it a week or two! BTW I love Rumya too and even wrote an FF on them. If I get the time I will send you the link. It was quite popular on IB forum! :)
