The promo, well..things are not gonna be so smooth and easy for them so something like this was expected.. and this blame of Mandhar's death falling on Raghav was predicted by many on the forum, including myself.. there's obviously some MU.. but I don't think it'l playout exactly how it is in the promo.
Still haven't read the promo thread yet. Going to go check out what all the discussions have been. I'm all for tension and some misunderstandings, it's needed for plot purposes, but I can't help but be very very nervous about this particular promo. It seems to be so similar to a plotline from KHKT, and that plotline basically delivered the death blow to the show.
I'll not detail it too much, but turns out that Rohit's (ML) girlfriend had a near fatal accident and was in a coma for a few years. it happened due to Sonakshi's (FL) ex-fiance, but due to some confusions, both the girlfriend (who obviously woke up when Rohit and Sonakshi got together) and Sonakshi herself hold her responsible for the accident. They built up this revelation for months, executed it so badly, both characters were painfully out of character, and it was resolved in such an unengaging manner, that everyone I knew who was watching the show, online and IRL, (and I myself) stopped watching within 2-3 days of each other. For me, it wasn't much about hating the plot, but it was an instant disconnect from the characters and the story, emotionally speaking. I went from waking at 6 to catch the show before going to work, to not even following updates in the span of 2 episodes. And then channel interference, and total kachra of show.
Now obviously, it's not the same show, and I shouldn't judge by previous shows, it's unfair, but I can't help but be super wary. Just once bitten, twice shy. I'm definitely holding judgement till we know much more. No one will be happier than me if they do surprise me with some solid story and execution.
Sorry about the lamba sa rant 😅
