Now, the problem with season 2 Anurag is this, he was basically a decent person and I liked his character till Naveen Babu track. Then after Prerna's marriage to Mr. Bajaj, he went full-on psycho, stalking, getting himself attacked, hitting even Anupam and not giving a damn about people who care for him except Prerna. It seemed that the writers were too inspired from Kabeer Singh. It would've actually been refreshing to see a nice person as protagonist today when most of the male leads are shown as cold, insensitive persons with a backstory in the beginning. It would've been nice if Anurag Basu would've remained the nice person in the beginning of season 2.
For the current track, I don't know if the show will run for long (given the TRPs) but if they wanted to add a real Ekta Kapoor style twist, they could've shown Mr. Bajaj and Komolika joining hands and killing Anurag (you know, Komolika saying if Anurag can't be mine, he can be of no one) and Anurag coming back with a different name and entirely different personality. I think it would give time for both Prerna and Anurag spending time with each other (both leads proclaim how much they love each other when the writers haven't even given them time to breathe). I would just prefer Anurag presumed dead and returning back with a different identity to give Komolika and Mr. Bajaj a hard time because the current track of multiple near-marriages is ruining the show and I would like to see Parth in an Avatar different from its angsty Kabeer Singh/ Manik Malhotra and clueless AB. It would also be fun to see the reactions of Mohini, Anupam, Nivedita(for some reason, I'm more invested in the secondary relationships like Anu-Mohini- Anu-Anupam, Anu-Nivedita) more than AnuPre.)
I also think the casting is mismatched in this season. Erica doesn't look comfortable in fierce and vengeful Prerna like Shweta Tiwari and Parth doesn't look like seedha- saada Anurag.
Please let me know your opinions in the comment.
P.S.: I know the suggested twist is stupid but since I was younger, I always liked Kaho Naa Pyar Hai kind of plot where our simple, sweet hero dies in the middle half and his smart, charming doppelganger comes.
