yes we can still hope.why?because apparently sbs showed that prems/harshad last shot was when he was in abomb blast.which was his final scene.so hopefully he wont be shown wrapped up in white sheet on arthi as they have shown the cast farewelling him.so apparently his last shot was among the blast.which means we can hope for harshads return as prem.and as someone said,i think the whole purpose of sbs having interview was to show how the fans didnt like the whole idea of prem dying,so hopefully ekta and her gang of creatives realise their mistake and actually show prem alive and well in the show.
you know we still can win this battle
