This is one aspect of creativity that is always missing in ghum..Connect. Even we as audience don't find connect with the leads after around 570+ episodes because they never reflect on their mistakes. No monologues for getting into the dilemma they are in.
Sai forgot shruti track n virat was like mai bhagwan hu. Leap is to come, but no progress in any character. If sai leaves tomorrow, they will thank Bappa, forget remembering her. Virat will be devdas occasionally and play happy family with p if she stays in CN due to fake suicide attempt. No one will question her. Inner conflicts should be given more prominence but they are going the clichéd way
You said it right different teams have spoiled the charm.
