What is most conspicuous is that Karan Patel never shows reaction .The only time he showed some was to assure that he and Divyanka get on well on the sets and so do the rest of the cast.As for Divyanka she and Sharad are close but not married and Divyanka and Sharad convey this status in one way or the other. Well things are very clear.That does not follow that because the expected romance quotient is less It can be concluded that personal issues of either of the leads is responsible for the present trend.The creatives and the script might have something else in store for the viewers and the romance scenes will come when the right time comes.I think both the leads are very matured and deal with their personal issues in their own way and seem to respect eachothers privacy very well. So why shouldn't we do the same and also rely on the creatives to deliver when they have been doing so hitherto without fail. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.And till just some time ago the pudding was really good .200 episodes --almost 200 puddings-- some big ,some small , a miss now and then -- but on the whole appetising enough for viewers to wait eagerly for the next episode.
