Ok fine lets agree that avni had no option but to fake her death. but vidyut is getting arrested for confessing all his crimes NOT for avni's murder. she died in a fire accident for the whole world. so even if vidyut is still alive and a potential threat, the solution cant be to stay apart for the rest of their life. that implies that to defeat vidyut they have sacrificed their love and togetherness.
Even if he was arrested for avni's murder shes an expert at changing her identity na. she can still reach out to neel and move away with him and create a fake identity for herself so no one knows.
as much as people have said this is cruel for neil its also a cruel punishment shes inflicting on herself. and saying that shes putting herself and neel through this for the sake of their saccha pyaar is definitely mahaanta syndrome and nothing else. ok she couldn't involve neel and family in this plan but once things have settled down how difficult is it to reach out to neel and explain everything. he is neel khanna, he will understand and then together they could have moved away to a different country or different city and then after the leap we could have seen what life's been like and what challenges lie ahead for them. they can come up with a fresh story with our leads together. baat baat pe separate karke kyun drama create karna hai. its possible to have drama element even without leads separation.
[DIV]timelines are also important in a story.10 saal main kaafi kuch badal jaata hai. ya the pain of losing
someone is there whether its 6 months or 10 years but its definitely different. in 10 years people find a way to live their life, have learnt to cope with the loss...so it does make a difference to viewers how long the leap duration is. they could have kept the same post leap storyline as they have planned now and kept the leap duration shorter and renamed mishti as XYZ, retained the same teenage actor and have her play whatever age she looks and no one would ask any questions about mishtis disappearance. We'll just assume she's away at boarding school or something.[/DIV
Neil would understand yes but you not understanding Avni, she can't keep Neil away from his family and if Vidyut finds out Neil is living away his men will track him and will find out Avni is alive so better not to risk . That's how I think!
