i think shiv will get killed eventually.šand samar will play the role of gauri's life partner.
in the following days,samar will be seen to fall in love with gauri.............pure love..............and this will raise him in our eyes...........becoz to whatever extent shiv loves gauri............we all know that he once loved ippi and maybe even now he harbours feelings for her.or ekta might even show a shiv-ippi affair.
samar will be shown to fall in love with gauri..............and maybe after knowing shiv's past...........she'll move out of his life........................and then gauri-samar's lovestory will be highlighted...............shiv either be killed(typical ekta istyle)or will vanish..........................and have no existence.like jatin of kumkum........................except his three children.
and i guess this will be done by ekta..................becoz yash as samar..................is100times .better...............than yash as shiv.
