You are spot on on the writing!
Don't know about IB 2.0. From what we've seen on screen so far IB Vanvaas 1.0 is a clean sweep for Svetlana!
Shivaay was to keep Svet's focus on himself so she does not harm his family. Instead, Svet has managed to
- get half of the Oberoi shares courtesy Mr ASSO (absolutely loved your troll post on Abhay! 😆)
- keep Shivika completely tied up with random cycle bells via not blood related but bhai Veer
- orchestrate every emotion and move of Tej via NB sister Tia
- change and mute Rikara to the extent where Om won't stand up for what is right and Gauri can't trap Tia at her game
Then there is Rudy. While we all waited for him to finally take the helm of the Oberoi industries, he remains untouched, with no growth whatsoever. Oh, wait his ex-wife turned friend Saumya managed to get his current girlfriend to agree to his marriage proposal! [Am waiting to see if this was orchestrated by Svet as well 😆]
So onto IB Vanvaas 2.0! #AbsolutelyNoExpectations for this round ! 😆
