If SMARTLY written, the writers could show us that Ruhaan and Mishti's relationship is very much entrenched in learning from each other about each other and the world, and how things are never black and white. This could be a love based on mutual understanding, on seeing each other's darkest sides and not turning away, and not being AFRAID to show the worst sides of yourself. This could start as a platonic [and one sided for Ruhaan] relationship endeavouring to only be better to each other for Veer's sake, and end up being a relationship based on genuine friendship and trust, that teaches Mishti more about herself. And through that realization, Mishti can realize that Veer may not be the person for her and ultimately choose Ruhaan. Mishti can break things off with Veer before even realizing she has fallen for Ruhaan.The only way for this story to not turn into a hellscape like it's predecessor, is to have both Mishti and Ruhaan come clean the second they know it's more than just a passing thing. It could be that Mishti realizes and will go through the cycle of self-deprecation and hate, but choosing to come clean before embarking on anything with Ruhaan. This is the only way the writers can give us any room for proving how wrong Kunal and Nandini were. Mishti, if she does fall for Ruhaan, would have to break things off with Veer at the first second of doubt that he may not be right for her. And this could be before she even realizes she's into Ruhaan.It is important to always be honest with your partner and you tell them the truth, at the very first signs of doubt. Kunal and Nandini cheated, their relationship was never pure it was adulterous. To escape the vicious cycle of history, Mishti can hate herself for falling for Ruhaan but only if she breaks things with Veer off first. Mishti's actualization of herself can come separate of her feelings for Ruhaan. The writers can choose to show us how important Ruhaan and Mishti's relationship is, without the gross lust-y subtext, and instead WHY they as characters belong together. What about their relationship makes them BETTER people and versions of themselves.In my ideal world:Mishti realizing that something is missing in her relationship with Veer, and choosing herself before she chooses Ruhaan would be beautiful. Mishti going through the cycle of hating herself, POST breakup, to realize she has fallen for Ruhaan because of how much he has been able to help her become genuinely the best and happiest version of herself, would also be acceptable. Thinking she has become Kunal by falling for the best friend of her partner (or ex hopefully), even though she has broken up with Veer, would be fascinating for her character growth. Having Ruhaan then pursue Mishti, who is afraid of her own emotions at this turn of her life, and having him push Mishti to her realization of love for him, would be the icing on the cake.^ this is essentially how I would LIKE for the CVs to handle the story but I don't have faith in them so let's see LOL
