Sorry for the delay Mano, I got held up by family weekend calls.
As for a comeback of this show - I'll be very honest (and a resigned realist?) in knowing that sequels for truly deserving shows (which are a rarity in the first place) don't really happen? And this may be purely my idea from Rishta.com not returning, despite the team of the show claiming they are willing, and despite the pressure of what seemed like quite the audience impact.
Still, we have had comebacks of shows like Chotti Bahu... even Kitni Mohaabat Hai ... and maybe others I'm unaware of? So who knows...!
Personally, if this season gets its due, in terms of an end which maintains the high expectations we have from this show - I shall make peace with its end. Like everyone else, I want something as good as this show to go on for a long time, but I suppose the quality exists in its appropriate lifetime limit - in not trying to outlive what the original plot was. Again, perhaps I would have liked to watch GK as a willingly married couple, but maybe not! I'm little weird, cause the chase part is my favorite, in every love story 😆 The push and pull of their dynamics, and the entire process that underlies 'coming together' is (for me) the real story making and thereby selling content! So I could be just as content leaving it at that (with the condition that the end is aptly acquired) and then speculate about what after at random leisure moments of reminiscing about the show, or watching re-runs.
What I would very much like however, is to watch
A) this team of writers and production house get back together in the same grouping and give us more shows of such quality in the future.
B) For Mansi and Neil - together or not - to grab worthy TV projects for themselves soon as well - their onscreen skill is such a delight to watch, we're in dire need of such quality actors!
C) And finally, if, and only if, the exact same Gulaal team has a good and willing idea of season 2 - then perhaps, for the show to come back. My doubt for this option is, we've never heard of them having any such idea. (Again, comparing with the R.com team - the only show I ever wanted to watch season 2 for - that team had claimed, that although they didn't have a ready script, if things worked out, they had good idea of what to do with season 2... so it sort of made sense.)
Anyway - my opinion. At the end, we've all loved this show, and thoroughly enjoyed its high quality in every form of execution - so we're going to miss it terribly, this way or that. The saddest part is that I got around to watching this show much later in the day; not to forget the fact that once Gulaal stops airing, there is really nothing on TV worth watching!
Oh well! About time I hit the books anyway 🤓
