Lovely and very concerned post :)
Well, we should not look more into the shifting of haveli ... as the producer himself said that it was the problem related with Haveli itself ... Shantani is just taken as an excuse ...
But I am too hoping for a power pack track ahead ... I would love to see Nandini;s story... it will be so nice if she is somewhat related to Shantanu ... that would be just great ...
And I dont think Ashish will be gone for more than a day ... I read in the article that he wants to stay with Paro 24X7 and that he was not permitted due to some issues on border and hence Shantanu is sent ... so ... "I" dont think he will me gone for a week or so ...
And I think instead of trying to make a story out of maithili and mohini to gain the TRPs, the Cv's should put their extra work in connecting Paro with the audience... A female lead needs to connect with the audience for long run of the show ...
I know other characters should be given his/her due attention but still first let us make the male and female lead work for the audience and once "this" is fix ... you can move to other characters ...
