there's a lot of ways to keep conflict depending on if aparna is going to be portrayed by a new actress or not
malini coming back because her kid's dad is now missing and wanting revenge on arylie for him leaving
a third AKT later in the show when they find a better actor (assuming he's not about to show up magically as people have theorised elsewhere)
arylie dealing with the aftermath of seth purandas and aryan going after his company and anything else that they might write, aryan actually grieving his brother's loss for real
narmada and arpita reconciling their already having grieved arvind's death as the result of an angry man/kismat and aryan having been right that there was a cause for this even if he wasnt 100% right on how or who, because AKT is still responsible for not cross-referencing his sources, something journalists are taught early in their careers
badi ma trying to steal the family's property with baby doll's help
aryan finding out about meethi forcing imlie to marry him and deciding to either patch them up or divorce imlie, cue imlie being mad bc she's into him now and misunderstands him
any number of tropes before they do the wedding redo that most serials do when the leads finally admit that they love one another
Agreed, even if the major AKT revenge track is wrapping up I think there are a ton of other things that can happen. I'm so confused as to where the reboot rumours are coming from? Is it just because they've done it before? Ishqbaaz exhausted all other ideas and had a lot of relationship development and progress between the 2 leads before they went into reboot (which was awful btw). Imlie has been consistently in the top 5 shows, a large part of that reason right now is the current Arylie relationship and dynamics. It would be dumb to do a reboot now, when they only got married 2-3 weeks ago.
Arylie have both expressed how important the other is to them in the current Purandas track - there is no love confession though and tbh I don't think they're both fully even in love yet. There's a lot of relationship development to go which can be the center for the next little while.
I feel like the best way forward is a series of smaller less dramatic tracks (such as BD/BM, maybe some other reporting stories, the aftermath from AKT/Aparna leaving, maybe Sunder coming to work for the Rathores if Ts leave and his love story with Arpita) as they build up another large drama/villain track in the background and also the big angsty reveal of Meethi forcing Imlie to get married. During these smaller tracks you have Arylie building their relationship, maybe actually romancing and flirting which each other, being open in their love and affection as a married couple.
