Author's note: This is a rewriting of some scenes from the soap, in a way I would have liked them to play out. If you do not remember the scenes I have mentioned, please watch them so that these alternative scenes make more sense. I have provided episode numbers and a screen cap for your reference. Every scene happens because the previous one didn't. So, there is no continuity to these.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scene 1: Episode 45 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfD6nEy4zzI)
(Background: Aaliyah has convinced Abhi to marry gold-digger/Purab-stealer Pragya to teach her a lesson. Pragya comes to Abhi's house and tells him there is nothing common between them to marry. Abhi is intrigued by her rejection and wants to confirm if Pragya is indeed a gold digger. He decides positive seeing his Daadi's expensive neck jewel on her. The Aroras leave Abhi-Pragya alone for a couple of minutes after treating Abhi with snacks and tea.)
Pragya: Did you forgive me for all that I said earlier in your house?
(Abhi looks at Pragya thinking how easily the girl can change colors within a day. He gets up and intimidatingly walks around her to stall facing her.)
Abhi: What if I don't?
(That is the moment Pragya realizes there is nothing right about this marriage.)
Pragya: Then, we shouldn't go through this, rockstar. I still can't find a reason why you would want to marry me. I can imagine your Daadi forcing you to this, just like my mother. Let's not hurt them in the long run. I don't think we can make it work, I thought I could give it a try, but I don't think you would. I am sorry about this, let's stop this before it's too late. I will explain it to my mother. You please convince your Daadi.
Abhi: What the hell? You flip sides so quickly.
Pragya: I was always on the side of not wanting to marry you. I am all the more sure now. I am sorry, but Bye Bye, Rockstar.
(Pragya walks towards her room, leaving a stunned Abhi behind).

Scene 2: Episode 50 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M87p0mSo6JU)
(Background: Pragya has witnessed Abhi in Tannu's room on their wedding night. The next morning, she confronts him over the matter and he reveals how he married her to teach her a lesson.)
Pragya: This does answer all my questions. I knew this wedding was not right.
Abhi: How can it be right when we have a greedy-traitor as a bride?
Pragya: Now listen to me. Just listen to me. If you don't, I will scream and have your Daadi and everyone right here. I never loved Purab. I never knew your sister was engaged to him or that he is your best friend. But now it makes sense how my sister was hurt when she came to know about another woman in his life, so that woman was your sister, Aaliyah. Enough rockstar, Abhi. Enough of this nonsense. Neither my sister needs your friend, nor do I need you. I don't owe you anymore explanations. I am leaving, right now. If you try to harm my sister, I will file a case against you. I will go to the media for trapping me like this. But please keep your money and fame to yourself. I am leaving your house before it's too late. Bye Bye, Rockstar (Pragya wipes her tears and walks off).

Scene 3: Episode 77 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6nx0G0xI9k)
(Background: Tannu and Aaliyah have planned to take Pragya out of Abhi's life and house, by hook or crook. On Aaliyah's engagement ceremony, they place Aaliyah's expensive ring in Pragya's purse wanting to frame her of theft. But Purab notices this and moves the ring from Pragya's purse to Tannu's. When everyone realizes the ring has gone missing, Aaliyah wants everyone's purse to be checked including Pragya's. Abhi who has come to know about Tannu and Aaliyah's plan does want to play along and takes Pragya aside to check her purse. He takes her items one by one and does not find the ring. He later admits to her that he did this to throw her out of the house.).
Abhi: I am surprised you didn't have that ring in your bag, but it was found in Tannu's, although it was placed in yours. You must have done some magic, hmm? But it's so you to steal other people's stuff.
Pragya: I don't have money to throw away like you. But my mother taught us to earn our own bread even if someone wanted to feed you for free. I didn't want to create a scene in front of your family, but that doesn't mean I will tolerate that you, my so called husband, put a theft blame on me, that too knowingly. I was afraid you would hurt my mother but thank God, your hatred seems to be only for me, not my folks. If you apologized for talking ill about a sweater made by my mother, if you didn't drink so that my mother doesn't get offended, you won't hurt her by telling them the truth about our marriage. Purab is Aaliyah's fiance now and I never had an affair with him. I don't ask you to believe me on anything, but you accusing me of theft gave me a reason to leave this marriage and go back to my house. This is what you wanted and believe me I wanted it more than you. So, that's about it, it's the end of this mishap of our marriage. Bye Bye, Rockstar.

Scene 4: Episode 167 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qYVMgRU4as)
(Background: After failing to prove herself innocent in the MMS case, Pragya has decided to divorce Abhi in order to save him ill-fame. Abhi is offended that she wants to walk away from him and his ego is hurt that she preferred Suresh to sleep with than him. He wants to prove to her that he can have her at his mercy and reject her at that point. He gets close to her.)
Abhi: Girls die for me, why not you? (He moves his lips on her cheeks and ear and feels her breath hitch). Say you don't want me, stop me from touching you..
Pragya: (Pulls her mind out of the hormonal rush he is giving her to grab his shirt and makes him face her) I want you, may be more than all those girls. You are my husband, isn't it my privilege to want you? But it can't happen like this. Not for you to take out your frustration when you are drunk, not for you to prove to me that you are better than some other man. Don't do something that you would be ashamed of later on. I did not sleep with Suresh. I failed to bring you proofs for the same. But would you believe me even if I did? So, what's the point here, let me go, let me divorce you. It's good for both of us. Bye Bye, Rockstar (Pragya makes space for herself and walks away).

Scene 5: A future episode.
(Background: Pragya has been told by Tannu that she is pregnant with Abhi's child. A heartbroken Pragya finds Abhi in his room.)
Abhi: Fuggy, what happened, why are you crying?
Pragya: (She turns her back to him) I will stop crying, very soon. I really need to. And I am so sorry, I confessed some of my baseless emotions for you in the jungle. Spending time with you in the jungle, I had lost all connection to reality. You had told me about Tannu from the beginning. Why did I not remember? Since I helped you with the bullet, you would be feeling grateful to me and not able to hurt me by rejecting my proposal. But I understand there was nothing for you to accept me when all your love is for Tannu. I should not cross that line.
Abhi: Fuggy, why are you talking like this, can you hear me out too?
Pragya: No, you don't need to say anything. I don't expect or want an answer from you anymore. Tannu's pregnancy just proves to me you loved her, you wanted her to be the mother of your child and you always told me you wanted a life with her. Why did I forget you love her? I am so sorry. Don't worry about me, I will be alright. I am a strong girl. I just want to leave from here. Please let me go, Bye Bye, Rockstar. (Pragya runs out of the room as Abhi gathers his thoughts after the shocking revelation about Tannu's pregnancy).
