Since the ME or maybe before that, episodes are better. There is no disconnect, Shatan scenes are less. Kasauti Zindagii Ki is based on the theory of trilogy and 3 main characters since Sunday are getting good screen space
However the fact remains that Bajaj and Basus have a past which was very visible on Moloy's face when RB entered Basu Bari. Its obvious that their saga started when he was a boy of 12 and his childhood struggles made him what he is today. He manipulated a girl who was very naive and practically left her with no options because maybe the same situation occurred when RB was a teenager. Prerna Sharma is Onu's life and Bajaj took away his reason to live.
This fact no one can ignore and there is a backstory to the sequence of events. Today Bajaj mentioned Naveen Babu, it looks like he was tracking the basus from day 1.
Kuki is not d reason he married Pre. Yes, his attitude towards his wife has changed bcoz she is so good towards her. He has also realised that Pre has proved him wrong and for these very reasons she is effecting him
Life after this so called deal marriage is different and d reason why Bajaj came to Basu Bari is another story altogether and nothing to do with Prerna being a glorified nanny.
The background has to be revealed in phases if cvs are taking so much care these days.
