Personally, I am not up for Shiv's story coz as much as I like him, I can't place him as he's got no face, I can't imagine him as any identifiable person, so I'd say make it another story like a spin-off or something, or go with whatever you find suitable. This is just my view. Update soon!

I'm so sorry.. I don't know what to say. Will it help if I gave you the freedom to cast anyone you like?

Are we going to get an update?

Taken down for editing

Yee! Update...

Your characters are so real, that anyone can fall in love with them, and especially Shiv (my fav. one)

Prerna's condition is same as RB... Both are dying to be at each others side...

And And And.....

Finally,he is coming to claim her as his... 😃

Please don't make us wait this long again, update it soon....

Okay, first up.

I loved how you write Shiv. Such a cutiepatootie. I absolutely loved the part where he threatens Anurag : the part where he says "I've not in love with Prerna and will have no trouble destroying you."

SEXY VIBES. Come to mama!

Urgh, the Prerna and Rishabh anticipation is killing me. I love how she makes comparisons to thing RB missed out on. Loving family, laughter etc. And she tries to call him! Such a small detail but so telling.

I didn't expect RB to share his dil ki haalat with anyone. That's new. But everyone needs a confidante.

Can we please just agree that you're an incredible writer? Kthnxbye.

Update super soon because miyaanji ghar wapsi kar rahein hai. And I cannot wait.

Now with the update we got some details of Shiv's past and it goes without saying after reading about Shiv's past in a glimpse, my heart went out to him..And the lines you wrote about death and the hole in the heart never being filled, touched a raw nerve with me and frankly speaking it brought tears to my eyes, as I could relate to it.. Anyway coming back to the update, I simply loved how Shiv was protective of Prerna and he did not let Anurag force his decision on her..And his warning to him said it all, he is not Rishabh Bajaj who is in love with Prerna and will ignore Anurag's behavior just for Prerna's sake like Rishabh does..And I clapped when Shiv gave his advice to Prerna about not buckling under the name of love and justify any kind of physical/ emotional abuse..I am glad Prerna is listening too, this will help her break free from the shackles that is being forced on her in the name of love..Next Prerna is with her family and Anurag, but yet the heart wants what it wants and she wants Rishabh...Her hearts seeks Rishabh and I was happy she made a dramatic exit walking away from the fake pretenses while her reason to smile and heart to thud with excitement was continents away..While Rishabh's love sets her free, Anurag love confines her to a cage and Prerna has started seeing it..Lovely..The way you have written Prerna's turmoil it is sheer brilliance...On the other hand we have Rishabh who is drowning in a mire of misery and it is his own created misery..All hell breaks loose and finally Rishabh Bajaj has accepted he loves Prerna..His confusion, desperate need for Prerna echoes in the air...He was running away from love but what he failed to realize that wherever you go, love is never far away, it is in the heart, it is in the heart beat, just like how Prerna is etched in Rishabh's heart and its heart beat..And now with Rishabh's firm decision to win his lady love and do whatever it takes, ready to move heaven and earth to make sure his Prerna never leaves his side, I was cheering at this and I said out loud, 'Go Rishabh, Go Get Your Girl'...The way you have described Rishabh's feeltings, his acceptance, his desperation and determination was all too perfect..The update was fabulous and amazing..Job well done!!!

I JUST WANT TO CRYYYYYYYYYY!!!! UGH WHAT AN UPDATE! Like what do I even start with???? That urgency with which she wanted to call him, that desperation she's started feeling for him like I can't even....its driving me MAD AS WELLLLLL!!!! You're so good with words, all this anticipation that has been created and now when they'll finally get together I can only imagine the fireworks your narrative will light. Shiv ugh my dear Shiv I loved that little tidbit about him, frankly however irrelevant it may be to prerish per se it gave perspective which is obviously so important to understand what drives a certain person.

And finallllyyyyyyyyyy RB I loved how he announced out loud that he's going to be selfish in love, he may think he's going in for some battle but it's not that she wants him just as much. At this juncture though I have to say Im more excited for Prerna's actions, she's the one whose surrounded by all these norms that she's very willingly made a part of herself so to see her getting rid of these is going to give me so much satisfaction. I caaaannnttttt wait for itttt!

UPDATE QUICKLY PLEASE

To find a cure. To challenge the Gods. To realign the bloody stars if that's what it takes to make her never leave my side."

Yes yes yes yes yes yes

P.s She remembers his head bent over his laptop or i-pad, while he distractedly shoved food into his mouth. No one had slipped him food when he wasn't looking. No one fussed over him

This made me sad very sad.

For Chapter 1

Dayumn! Girl, my mind has skyrocketed thinking of the complexity of their now Ex-&-etcetera relationship. Shiv seems to interesting, naughty and playful character with crazy attitude to deal with. That guy is just so speech rendering for the great Mr. Bajaj . I loved the essence you portrayed the freshly brewing awkwardness between them and off course, Prerna who stood twisting her brain when he called her a mere acquaintance. I believe that's what Anurag might have felt in the episode telecasted yesterday.

And then that info dump inreflex was just perfect and high on point. Shiv is really intriguing to me, upto an extent that I am slightly more curious for him than the actual leads.

Coming to descriptives, everything felt blessed to life and authenticity with the words that flew by. It held all of the fragrance of emotions as you define, be it the jolly-tumbling muse to find the ex-halves ( if anything like this exists) then realisation about Anurag and AnuPre's wedding in November ( too far, there is still chance for PreRish but please iss baar Anurag ka dil mat todna); the persistent silence and proximity of being together or rather standing together. The playful chit chat on Shiv's entry ( I am going Gaga over him to a greater extent 😳). Everything was visible through words as if living through it. It was a fantastic combination of words, description, attitude, character arc and loving I am hooked to right from first line.

PS: Opening quote has stole my peace of frolicking heart💓.

Loved it!

Thank you so much, Arushi.. this means so much to me.. I am so happy you liked the first chapter. Ah, I had really forgotten how awkward PreRish were with eachother in the first chapter.

About Anu's Dil, I'm quite sorry but PreRish are made for eachother. I genuinely believe that Prerna only loves Anu because she met him first. If she'd have met RB.. we'd have a different story altogether.

I am struggling with this love for Shiv. I try to make him as intriguing as RB because no brother of RB can be a straightforward character.

I would love to hear your opinion on the whole story.

Love,

Aparna.
