Guys! I dont want to raise hopes here but I cant understand why you all think they are not following KD. They are re-hashing all the tracks...some times in a toxic way and some other times in an intelligent way.
They avoided fake pregnancy because of 2 reasons.
1. Shiva-Jeeva bond is built beautifully here. They didnt want to tarnish it
2. After pulling such a stunt, even I was surprised that RK was not asked to leave the house. Badshah was made mahan by accepting her even after that. Here it would have been unrealistic because Samrat was very passionate about Pakhi and he would have freaked out.
Instead to show Samrat's distrust on Virat, they got in Sruthi track. One more reason for this is to show Sai's realization of love and her behaving as a wife. In KD, emon's realization was abrupt, though it is beautiful. His transfer triggered her insticts. Here they slowly showed how Sai removed Pakhi from her brain and started to accept her feelings. Though the track failed, it established trust before they confessed and consummated. Howerver, VIrat looked so disjointed here. We could not believe how he prioritized sruthi over Sai's love. In KD, this happens after they had normal relationship, so Rono had clearly didnt value Emon and her feelings which happens in a seasoned marriage. Here they wanted to show a lover boy and duty minded Virat at the same time. So yeah that is also one more reason to put it ahead.
Now, surrogacy is out of syllabus. But is it? In KD, RK and baadshah had conjugal life for some time..but RK could not get pregnant. Seeing Emon get everything that she could not, she was jealous and discontent. Her mental health issues started popping up when she showed more than needed attention towards Pekhom. Baadshah's death aggravated it and she fell into servere depression. If you see KD's wiki, it is clearly written that she seeked Rono as her loving person to keep away her lonliness and Rono obliged. Doesnt fit right?
Thats why they changed it here. May be surrogacy is promoted by SP. So they used it intelligently. Pakhi was not mentally fit for the procedure. She was already suffering Samrat's death to some extent and jealousy about Sai's pregnancy. In this state she was made a surrogate. She is bound to get attached. They made her evil and ruthless. Pakhi showed post partum depression after delivery and Sai's death and Virat's hate would have made her lose the balance.
I still think they will follow the KD track for Pakhi. I can see it! The blue dress Pakhi who took the medicine is not the same as other Pakhis. That Pakhi KNOWS Virat loves Sai. That Pakhi is guilty too. But the Pakhi who Virat assured that only she is his biwi, is the insecure one who is afraid to live alone. She questioned him whether his feelings have popped up after seeing Sai. contrast this with blue dress Pakhi, she herself said Virat did not forget anything about Sai. She said to Ashwini that whatever she got she is satisfied with it.
This confusing Pakhi is there in KD too. RK knows Rono is taking care of her, just like he did for Sruthi. But still she behaves as his wife sometimes. There the family is surprised at her behavior. They could not understand her flipping. There Rono tells Emon that he is helping RK. And Emon agrees RK has mental illness but she cant come to terms with Rono ONLY able to fix her. So when the tumor gets misdiagnosed as pregnancy, she will leave.
Here I think they are playing this pre-separation track after the separation. There are undercurrents. Also, ujjanpur track is a highlight track of KD which they will not skip. Thats why I say, when Pakhi is recovered , Virat takes her along with him CONFIDENTLY to Ujjanpur to win Sai back.
Also, one more thing is that when Emon comes back from Ujjanpur, RK would have taken all the responsitiliby of the house just like here. But the family will pamper Sai like before. This is where the insecure Pakhi might show up and cause trouble. Ninad is ready for heart attack so they are not going to miss that track as well. In KD I was confused how Rono priroitzed RK when Ninad was sick. I thought he was mental. But here, he will do it because he will be pissed off at Sai or deliberately siding with Pakhi to make her feel better. I would say if they follow this, it makes more sense.
And I always thought virat will bring Sai and Savi somehow to him. He has seen her alive...that too around gulab rao and Jaggy. He will be troubled. He will no way leave her alone. See these spoilers come out when the reporters are present during the shooting and they try to read some script which has scenes related to future or FBs. Thats how we get extra information.
Vinu's adoption and surrogacy is something the makers might have leaked to the reporters. But otherwise, they post the spoilers from the shooting set and the leaked script. My opinion. We should not fret over them much. Except for really good spoilers like Adoption and Surrogacy which came into light much before they aired
Long story short...give me one reason why you think they are not following KD.
