They have retained the k3g flavour till now...a slow realisation followed by a dramatic confession.
I hope it goes PaRit vs family here after.
Rithwik will be forced to the mandap is what I think but he will rebel thus inviting VP's wrath. Or from here VP will want Rithwik to forget Palak n move on with Ananya but with Mamta's support he will rebel n get kicked out.
There after PaRit will fight challenges to eventually meet the family.
As of Palak falling into Halwa Puri's trap...karan in his iv's have specified that Palak is a character that will stand strong n isn't naive. Hopefully Palak won't be another signature EK lead.
