I don't think the saas-bahu drama saga is going to end anytime soon. Gautama has a lot to understand and grow as a character, if the makers wish to grow her otherwise they can turn her completely negative.
Regarding the nine wives, let's see what the makers show, but it's quite debatable. Maybe the makers could show his concubines.
Ego issues. His wife is so much better than him in every way. Obviously he had concubines. Are we sure he wasnât married to them? Like multiple wives through matrimonial alliances was the norm. To ensure they had the support of neighboring kingdoms. Thatâs the reason Malhar Rao married the other 3. For Harku Bai apparently he was never present physically for the wedding-only sent his sword like in the movie Bajirao Mastani when Mastani considers him a husband because Bajirao gives her his dagger.
Whatever is the case, Ahilya does tend to love him to the very end and he also grows fond of her. She kind of changes him. And she gets ready to jump onto his pyre along with his 9 wives but Malhar stops her from committing sati for the future of Malwa.
