I don't find them monotonous nor Shivika Part 2 in any sense...they bring the much needed fun element to the show
I just think a bit of focus on Soumya particularly is missing, apart from that, I can see a growing frenship between the two...the revenge thing is long over now...Soumya as Love Angel did give tips to Rudra to get close to Romi even though there's something wrong with Romi that Soumya is trying to tell him and I guess something went wrong on Rakshabandhan day between Rudra n Romi, don't know what it was
I can see Soumya and Rudra getting comfortable with each other and the Crybaby and Sumo which was to annoy and tease each other earlier look friendly names they have given to each other...
In no way they are Shivika Part 2, they will start off as being friends turning into lovers later once Romi dumps Rudra Soumya would support him as a friend... he would then realize that he was wrong in judging girls based on their looks
And they are truly adorable in scenes where they talk their heart out to each other...once they start focusing on their story we would know how different their story would be from the Shivika story.
