The problem with complex love stories with grey characters (where the lines between right and wrong get really, really blurred) is that they rarely do well on the TRP front.
Unfortunately, viewers need a solid basis for their ship (especially in love triangles) and that doesn't happen until one of the trio is explicitly painted as a villain or is beyond redemption.
Think of a scenario where Mayank wasn't ideal, but not a creep. He would fat shame, take unilateral decisions most of the times and would do the odd apology if things went really out of hand, but was mostly otherwise a desi male. If a child was involved, think of Mayank doting on the kid, but otherwise treating his wife poorly (on a scale of 10, where Karthik is a 10, think him to be a 4 or 5/10)
Would Ishqi have left him at the altar?- No
Would Ahaan be able to justify getting involved with his best friend's wife after marriage knowing that she was unhappy- No
The imagined angst and the complexity is nice, but would only work for a web series at best. Would unfortunately never work on ITV.

i completely agree and i mentioned the same..this scenario would never work in ITV till trp rules coz the trp giving audience,only the channel knows who they are..does not have the patience to unravel complexities...their menu is fixed....unfortunately for me web series does not appeal much as compared to watching this on ITV...i belong to the golden period of ITV before saas bahu took over....and when you have seen the deterioration of television over decades it just hurts
