Well well well...I think you are right...
Cvs could have shown something else rather than killing Pankhuri...I mean...they should have.
They could have shown a character change in Pankhuri, they could have shown some dark mystery in DM, or if nothing else, they could have shown PaYa kids.
BUT, this is what WE are telling NOW, coz we are disappointed with this track. We never thought of these before! And neither did the CVs! (I am taking the CVs side for a moment) I think they thought Pankhuri's death will attract attention and the lost viewers will come back with this new dramatic twist. Don't forget, all the crap tracks such as double Payal, RuYal marriage, Sheila's bro, Dhanrajgir didn't impress the viewers at all and even then we were saying anything different will be better. Many people stopped watching the "boring" show. So, to bring back viewers, CVs had to show something really DRAMATIC, and nothing better than Pankhu's death for the same!
I think the main reason for our disappointment is fear of Adi forgetting Pankhuri and falling in love with Ayesha. but what if he never falls for her? THEN will you still hate the show?
I am still tring to keep faith on CVs...still hoping that Pankhuri returns. I have loved Pankhuri's character and Ayesha is truly nothing in front of her. So, I will again repeat,
BRING BACK PANKHURI.
Coz that's best for the show.
