Well... I don't know about cute... I wouldn't be aiming for any of that actually. Instead, I would re-write Pandya Store to be very different, aiming to bring out a different version of every actor which ITV has not really seen before. Star Plus would probably fire me before they hire me, but here is how I would change the romantic equations between the three couples:
GauRa
They would follow the trope of best friends falling in love. Since there is a 10 year leap, they would have a sweet, tooth-rotting romance filled with GauRa sharing domestic chores. They have a strong and stable relationship, and they will never doubt each other, even if an unwanted third wheel like Anita enters. Dhara would allocate responsibilities equally among the 3 brothers as she helps Gaumbi in the store and at home. The major issues these two would face would be to accept the new daughters-in-law, solving store crises, planning for a future family, and solving the issue of Dhara's mother.
DevTa
They would follow the trope of a woman being the dominant one in the relationship. I am tired of ITV showing stay-at-home bahus who do nothing but cooking. It's an insult to all the working woman out there. Rishita, in my version, would be the more intelligent out of the two. She would be the one giving all the ideas to the Pandya family, on how to expand their business, and who to contact, I'm assuming as Janardhan's daughter she would know plenty of business contacts. Dev would support her in her dreams and be fine with the idea of having a wife who was more successful than him. The major issues they would face would be to navigate through their new relationship (now with more responsibilities), issues regarding expanding the store into a chain store, bringing ShiVi together (as they feel guilty for what happened in the wedding), and changing Janardhan's mind.
ShiVi
They would follow the trope of two childhood frenemies falling in love with each other. The only thing I would change in their relationship would be to have ShiVi be best friends prior to Shiva's father's death. However, after his father's death, Shiva pushes Raavi to the sidelines. He feels guilty about pushing her away, but he also feels guilty as her family was a contributor to his father's death. Despite 'hating' her, he quietly watches her growing up (cue to longing stares), and despises how she is crazy about his brother. Once they get married, they would have an angsty, steamy romance filled with longing stares, childhood memories of what they once were, and confusion over how their marriage would proceed. Cute, in their equation, only enters once Shiva confesses his love to Raavi.
So yeah, I don't know about cute... but I could give you angsty, romantic, comedy for ShiVi. Oh, and for the love of god, I would have ointment scenes 🤔
