I'm actually curious as to how it will end this time... Because in the old triangle, there was a huge emphasis placed on pre-marital "true love" and "amar prem," vs. marriage and tradition -in some ways.
Ankita is married to Naren. If this soap opera took place in, say, more conservative times, it would be very probable that love after marriage would take a higher rank over pre-marital love and the show would end with the married couple falling in love and forgetting about their past paramours. However, times are changing, and there is a greater emphasis placed on pre-marital romance than on two people forced into a marriage (on TV), which may be for the best. The show clearly has no problem with pre-marital love, "natural" love, as evidenced by the Arjun/Purvi amar premi track. Ovi therefore was made into an evil character so that Arjun and Purvi would be justified in their extra-marital love and there was never a chance for a "love-after-marriage" track for Ovi/Arjun (because Ovi was supposed to be scum who no one should ever love).
So, the question is, who is going to be evil this time? According to Ekta, someone in a triangle has to be evil, otherwise one pairing won't be favored over another. In this case, since the wife is Ankita, who is the new main character, the story will undoubtedly be different. I don't think they will make Ankita evil. That is out of the question. I can definitely see Pari getting possessive over Naren after knowing that he's taken. She's bitter and cynical enough to become the "evil" persona of the triangle, in my opinion. I guess we'll have to see.
EDIT: I guess my main point got a little eclipsed. What I meant to say was that it can go either way: there's no bias towards a love within a marriage vs. love before marriage anymore. That barrier has been broken with the first triangle. I don't think Ankita will simply "win" because she's married to Naren. She MAY win because her character is "better" than Pari's, however, if the CV's choose to go that route.
