Unfortunately, they opened the pandora's box with the DNA report...questioning Khushi's trust and showed her doing underhand things that set us all looking for deeper scars in her psyche (some real and some imagined)...so we are hoping there is a point to be made that remains unsaid...and we are plodding on..hoping Arnav will be one to reach out to her and bring her back from the abyss she seems to be falling in.alternatively we are looking at a Khushi who is able to ride out this storm that has threatened her bond with arnav- a bond she imagines to be stronger than the one she shares with him..(the ties of blood that may bind Aarav with arnav)
However, if the point in the narrative is about laying a foundation for the future..i would say sudden death is best, so no one has any time to consider anything...and as it is we have gone crazy thinking about ARHI's future as if they are real people...and the funny part is they are actually real for us
this slow death is painful and makes an absolute mockery of what we fans feel for ARHI..They cannot supplant it in years...I hope SP has understood that the hallmark of this serial is the love story...even we love Khushi, its ARHI we love more...
Possibly the TRP audience can live with a story that is built around other possibilities..but for majority of the international and national (online) audience, if they kill a part of ARHI, they would have killed the show for us.

Hi Rekha! I am Joey or the evil twin/bad cop as some of the former SG's call me.
Loved your comments. I am replying to yours and hoping to cover some of the things that Ishrat, Shweta, Ratna and Meens have brought up.
@Blue - There is a lot of "hoping" in what you wrote 😆 This is exactly my point! The terrace MU track worked because we didn't have to "hope" for anything. It was all there! We knew Shyam was evil and Khushi didn't harbor any feelings for him. People are hoping for Sheetal to be negative but has anything been shown to that effect? Nope, nothing. I disagree that the suspense behind Sheetal's intention is the same as Shyam's scenario. Shyam's intentions might have been ambiguous in the beginning but by the time the terrace MU happened, audience knew the perpetrator, the victim and the judge. The fact that Sheetal has been kept open ended is exactly I have issues with this track. Let's consider possibilities:
1) Sheetal is negative and the kid isn't ASR's
2) Sheetal is positive and the kid isn't ASR's
3) Sheetal is positive and the kid is ASR's
1) and 2) - until and unless audience is let in these require pure "hope" and "faith" that everything will be fine in the end. To make a paternity claim and that too with a guy who vehemently denies having such relations, requires a carefully thought out and flawless plan with absolute guarantee of not getting caught, especially in 1) where DNA evidence vs. ASR's word. Also, the only way the kid isn't ASR's is if the DNA report has been tempered. If Sheetal has tempered with the report, she can't be positive. Is there someone else who is running the show? that is also very far fetched and requires "hope" and "faith" only to paint Sheetal in a positive light.
3) A very good possibility. ASR had one drunken night that resulted in something and he doesn't remember. It happens and it will not be uncharacteristic for him as he is a worldly man. He lived a different life pre-Khushi. Completely believable. This option however, does not work for me regardless of how adorable and a good actor the kid is. The only way Sheetal can be positive in this scenario is she is killed off in the show. Even with that, There is no love story if this happens. Khushi a step mom t to a 5/6/7/8/9/10 year old kid?? The story becomes about the kid only. So anyone thinking about the kid to be ASR's, need to really think hard what it does to the love story. So Someone tell me, how does Sheetal being positive is a possibility or a good thing? If it is not a possibility, why the suspense unless it is really option 3)? in which case, the show is dead.
Now look at what I have done. I have just spent all this time speculating about Sheetal when that should NOT be the focus of this track. Whether Sheetal is positive or negative, it needs to be out in the open for the audience so the focus can be on Arnav and Khushi on how they do or don't deal with the situation. The terrace MU did just that! after the misunderstanding was established, the focus was hate, helplessness, confusion, pain, angst and much more with Shyam in the background. If the idea is to bring the same intensity back, Sheetal needs to be in the back drop. The focus should be on leads dealing with this issue while the audience knows it all along and sympathizes with the leads. This suspense has no place in the track and it doesn't establish Sheetal a positive character even if there is another Raizada floating around somewhere - To get back at one Raizada, she is messing with the life of another Raizada, someone please tell me the positive in this.😕
@Red - I don't know what the point is in the narrative. I am an Engineer so by default, my brain is wired to look at the data, extrapolate and look at probabilities. Here's the data that was presented to me:
Off screen:
"We will post an update on Barun Sobti's status next week." (the week which never came)
"love story has run its course. What to do next?"
"things are in limbo"
This track was chosen because of behind the camera stuff which is unknown to the audience
MAMR promotions starting soon.
On screen:
"Jis ki zindagi jitni hai, utni hai, kab jeena hai kab marna hai, aik vrat say change nahi kar saktay"
"agar kal main na rahoon toh..."
All these things to me indicate something is brewing and it ain't coffee. Again my interpretation of the data. So to your point, yes it should be sudden death (be it a character or the show) and not a slow torture. Even if it is a sudden death, spare me the "outbursts", clues and the symbolism! Let me enjoy what's to come for however long possible and then just rip the band aid! thoda dard ho ga but everyone will move on, so is life and we are thankful for that! 😊
@Green - The absolute mockery of the international and online fans has already been done both off screen and on screen and sad thing is, it still continues. Even with a general disgust for the track, it has been extended beyond what it should have been or was originally intended. I do not see this ending anytime soon. Maybe short sightedness in daily soap is the rule of thumb - take it as it comes, because to look at the track overall, I can't help but feel disgusted and disheartened wondering if Aarav is indeed a "Singh Raizada". Don't get me wrong, I have no issues with child out of wedlock or anything of that sort, I have issues with it being in IPK because I signed up for a love story and somewhat of a fairytale.
@Ratna - My sincerest apologies once again if my views seemed depressing to you. I reacted based on what I am seeing on the screen and not based on what I want to see. To me there is a difference. Like I said main bohat ajeeb hoon, my brain is wired differently to look at what is in front of me. For me "hope" and "faith" are reserved for my life and divine presence only. For everything else, I look for evidence. As far as IPK is concerned, the makers need to convince me with their story telling and not ask me to look at glass half full or have faith or some other crap like that. I can look at glass half full but is it filled with water or sewage waste? 😆 I still can't find any thing "half-full" about murdering a baby so blatantly on the show.
Sangha - humble request, please stop PMing me. I have self control issues. I have polluted your post once again with my brain matter which might be worse than spewing venom for the show.
