Pakka their plan.
They wanted Shagun pregnant with Ishita & Raman's kid by hook or crook.
They don't give a damn about the viewers who made the show popular. Success was given to them a year ago by the 11 PM audience but as the original intelligent audience got frustrated with the rapidly slipping standards, they wanted them gone.
Now the TRP success has gotten to their heads so morality, ethics, respect for viewers is out the door bc we are mere jobless dogs.
So this was a plan to sneak in surrogacy. Ishita accepted it & Raman will re-welcome their child. Who cares if a disgusting, shame to motherhood who faked her own death at the expense of her children's peace of mind is the vehicle for this.
So thank you CVs/BT/SP for showing us how little we value.
