The ridiculous part of today's episode is I am not sure if it was Neil or the writing that messed up. Maybe it wasn't Neil - there were many triggering moments as it is and for the first time, Pakhi was shown to be very hopeful....so Virat had to behave in a certain way to cause that. I don't know.
Anyways, Ghum is probably the only show that had such good story and potential but done in by makers love for toxicity.
I understand Shruthi-2 plot of KD isn't viable for Hindi TRP audience. Surrogacy plot was not a bad idea if it had been done without the toxicity we saw. It could have been brought before Samrat's death with Sai, Virat both agreeing to Pakhi as surrogate. Pakhi becoming like Shruthi after Samrat's death and the "death" of Vinu caused due to bad decisions & MU - that could have been the cause of a bitter separation of SaiRat. Then Virakhi marriage for adoption would not have been so bad.
But creatives penchant to butcher the characters and then whitewash them....I don't get the logic except that they have no interest in their own story
