completely agree dear ❤️❤️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏I'm usually a silent observer on this forum, but after watching yesterday's episode and also rewatching some of the original season, I decided to make this post. For starters, I know that this season is not a complete remaking of the original, but the essence remains the same.
To me, the essence of Kasautii has always been the love between Prerna and Rishab. Yes, the love between Anurag and Prerna is all-consuming and passionate, but it is also childish, irrational, and compulsive. True love is not supposed to set one's soul on fire. It is supposed to put one at ease. To me, Anurag is Prerna's first love, but Rishab is her true love. I don't know what is to come in this season, but in the original one, yes, Rishab did things to hurt Prerna and their relationship did not always run smoothly. But what relationship ever does? Yes, in this season, the way in which their marriage occurred was not right. Maybe the start is wrong, but that does not mean that the rest cannot be right.
Rishab has already made Prerna's family his own, and that is evident through his actions to help her mom. She has obviously done the same with Kuki. Their love already has a level of understanding and maturity that Anurag and Prerna's never did. Anurag might be willing to do anything for Prerna, but Rishab GETS her, and that is more than what most people can ask for in an entire lifetime. Prerna may live for Anurag, but it is Rishab who GIVES her life.
Rishab has accepted Prerna's unborn child without hesitation, just as he did in the first season. Anurag would never do the same - he did not even accept his own child in the last season, and the way his character is in this season, he won't do it this time either. Rishab knows Prerna loves Anurag, and yet he is okay with it- Anurag on the other hand was not able to accept her happiness last season or this season either.
To Prerna, Anurag was never family. He was simply a lover. On the other hand, Rishab is family, and there is nothing stronger than that bond.
