1) You are so right. Kul is not only hot, but cute too because he comes across very innocent. His eyes are just to die for ;) Very soft, tender, but also intense...
2) I really hope there is no masala twist with the step-siblings /stepmom angle. Although, you never know... I think Mandira is pretty genuine about her feelings for Kul. Unless...if Monty gets married one day and Mandira starts treating that bahu better than Geet...although I can't imagine why! Geet is like an ideal bahu, na?
