After all that rambling let me chaulk out some of the things I would have altered in the main plot of KYM:
Unlike Kitty, I dont think Michi love story was unbilievable. There are far more unbelievable things in the story. One of the prime ones being how Milsi became a millionaired in such short time. I would have showed how Milsi landed in Turkey and ended up working in one the hotels of a millionaire childless Sheikh. Seeing his hardwork and business acumen, the Sheikh who would have been in death bed willed all his property to him knowing he will take good care of it. That would explain how he became wealthy so soon and also would not take away the importance to be given for his hard work.
Next coming to the PIM track. This was an absolutely brainless track. If at all they wanted to show that Milsi suspected Prachi of being the mother of that child and also show how the rest of the family trusted her then this would be my track:
Prachi would have been involved with some NGO activity and left SM for some village where this activity was taking place soon after Milsi left for Turkey. This was also the period Suki went into hiding after realising her pregnancy. So during the time of pregnancy both Suki and Prachi were absent to the rest of the family although Prachi herself did not know about Suki's secret then.
Soon after she returns back to the SM, Inder arranges her wedding with Neev and the rest of the story is as per the show. However, I would have not shown Michi c-night before the PIM track broke out. I find it hard to digest that Milsi would not have realised the difference between a woman who had given birth and one who is a virgin if he had been intimate with her. So I'd rather Milsi did not go down that road to know the difference. On suki's marriage there would be the waterfall scene, complete with the kiss and hug but no c-night. They return back and there is the bidai ceremony with Michi giving away Suki.
Prachi wants a home for Ritwik and now that Milsi has understood her she broaches the subject. She tells him of this friend of hers who died in child birth, leaving her baby in the orphanage. She received a letter from her only a couple of days back although it was written over a month ago. In the letter the friend had asked her to adopt the child. She wanted Milsi's consent for the adoption. Milsi agrees since he knows Prachi's kind heart and he himself is not averse to raising a baby. They then adopt Ritwik.
Ayesha is suspicious of the entire thing and investigates the baby. She is denied access to the orphanage records. On a hunch she tries to get samples of Prachi's and Ritwik's hair and stumbles on Suki's hair thinking it is Prachi's. The DNA proof can then be the one which triggered off the entire PIM drama. Prachi may take blame because she does not want to ruin Suki's marraige and relationship with her brother. Her absence from SM during the pregnancy also goes against her. But the rest of the family believe she is innocent except Milsi. Prachi may absolve Neev from the blame by saying that he found out about the baby and that is why their engagement fell through.
Assuming the worst of Prachi, Milsi then tortures her. The rest of the PIM track could have then followed. I would have left his avenging Neev out of the plot because it really does not make sense if the baby was Neev's as to why Prachi did not marry him. So a more believable explanation for Milsi could be that the baby was not Neev's and that is why NP marriage did not take place. Prachi tried to smuggle in her baby after making sure Milsi was impressed with her 'goodness'.
This track would have been more believable than the crap they dished out to us.
I do have some ideas as to how the PA track should have been handled. But I'll post them later.
