We all loved MaNan and nobody as in NOBODY would ever replace MaNan for us. They were special to us, close to us and everyone of us has spent so many hours ghushing about them, talking about them, analyzing them and rewatch the episodes mulitple times. They deserved a happy ending, agreed.
The ending of season 1 happened the way it did as everyone expected Parth to be a part of season 2 as well. However, the guy wanted to move on in life and try something differently (I am trusting the IVs he and the rest of the cast have given and not some random, hidden sources). Why are people being stubborn by not letting him move on and try new adventures? Why force a guy to enact a character just for the sake of HEA? What is Niti's fault in all of this, since people are bashing her for uploading pictures with her new co-star?
I agree that they should just have ended season 1 and started season 2 with new characters (even if they were played by the same cast). We would have had our HEA and everyone would have moved on easily. But things have changed now and all of the actors seem to have moved on happily. Why not just accept the reality instead of living in a delusional world and thinking Parth will be back?
I have decided to watch this season with fresh eyes and a fresh mind. The story seems interesting, Nandini is not crying (thank God) but still remebering Manik, the mystery around the character of Maddy is creating lots of excitement. The election fight between Nandini/Harshad/Maddy is giving some masaledaar scenes. I'm liking the change in the character of Aryamaan too. Alya/Navya are doing part-time
jobs while even Dhruv is tolerable. Mukti is ... ehhh ... doing her usual OTT.
This season does have potential if the story and scenes are written carefully and enacted brilliantly. Even the editing is better. So, instead of spreading so much hate and negativity people need to focus on some positive elements. Nobody is asking you to forget MaNan. Nobody can forget them. They will always remain special. Besides, you never know whether they might bring Manik back later in the season as they haven't shown him dead yet. So hope karte raho :p
