I definitely agree with you Simi. CVs have to to be very careful in this regard. It will be highly absurd if they show that one fine day he realises his mistake and falls in love with her. It has to be a gradual one and before anything he has to learn to respect her and not consider a mere "Tohfa"😡. And yes I most certainly didn't like the transition from a diplomatic, political Ruquaiya to a sudden evil & a wicked Ruquiaya. I too miss Smiley in this aspect. She was not a beauty queen offcourse or even a great actress but was best suited as Ruqs.
Hope this time they chalk out the story with more finesse😊
