The equation is simple now!

If Dheeraj Dhoopar comes back as Karan Luthra than PreeRan are the end-game, if he doesn't than RishTa are the end-game, it is as simple as that. I don't think there is any reason for it to make it more complex. Shakti is a great actor and I know he would do an excellent job, but it isn't sufficient.

I believe DD is not coming back.

If Karan comes back, it will be Shakti only.

Hence the whole crocodile angle from the Rekha’s movie, Khoon bhari maang. They will bring someone new for Shakti eventually.

If they don’t want to resurrect Karan again, it can simply by old rival of Luthras/someone Preeta offended with her lectures/Kareena bua Kay side say.

I hope this Arjun guy is for Krithika. That girl deserves some break in relationships now.

DD very well might return. This is EK's age old track which she uses often when the lead goes on a break. For the time being they will play with the possibility of Shakti being Karan. Eventually if DD wants to return then they will show that Shakti was an impostor. (This has happened so many times in EK shows)

Coming to RishTa, they are possible ONLY if DD doesn't return like you said. I just hope if DD returns and PreeRan are the endgame then a new lead should be introduced at some point for Rishabh.

I am planning to watch Rishabh and RishTa scenes though. I hope Manit gets his due this time around. He deserves meaty roles.

I think i had seen a post on kareena bhua with rishabh in his room i think they just came to manoing rishabh for marraige.so rishta ki marraige toh hogi .in real there will be no fakeness in that.but if dd not gonna come back.and shakti is not karan then rishta will be end game.and i think rishta will be end game as rishabh will give so much in the relationship so i dont think preeta will leave him.but karan ko waps nhi lana haj toh yeh misunderstanfing se marna.crocodile and all what is the need yhi samjh nhi a rha.

They have introduced the crocodile angle so that Karan can make a return be it in form of Shakti or DD. So, Karan is definitely returning that is confirmed. If DD returns then he will be Karan and if he doesn't return then they will continue with Shakti. But Karan as a character will stay in the show.

Coming to RishTa, since i want them to be the endgame hence I want their marriage to be real. If the marriage is fake then there is a high possibility that PreeRan will be endgame. EK did something similar in Kumkum Bhagya too is what I got to know.

Let's see how it goes. I just want Manit to get his due. If RishTa happens then it would be great else a new famous heroine for Manit should come.

I was not hoping for DD to return. I was hoping for Rishabh to get a new lead heroine if DD returns. I don't want Manit to get sidelined.

A good and fresh story is much important than your position in the cast. Also, KDB is so messed up that the story isn't even leaded by the leads instead dragged by them. Rishta track is very annoying and awkward. Rishabh loves him but Preeta being a doormat with zero self respect and extreme exploitation will always have a deep core corner for Karan which is basically either a one sided love Or emotional affair. They Preeran's daughter also with them. Rishabh needs a girl who loves him to the fullest, which is what he deserves. Also, I don't get howcome they thought of giving the montage to Dheeraj when on the other hand Manit has a much versatile and diverse portfolio than him.

If it was not a serial I also want new girl for Rishabh . But now I don't want bcz Agr nayi ladki aa gayi na to Manit ke lead banne ke chance bilkul hi khatam ho jayeneg, Agr ladki aayi to vo dono side hi kehlaynge , Or preeran lead . Lekin rishta hoga to rishabh lead hoga or karan negative lead
