Story Of Kumkum Bhagya 2nd Generation Seems To Be Repeating, Here Instead Of 2 Daughters Of Kumkum Bhagya It's 2 Sons With Rajveer Being The Legacy Male Lead Like Prachi Was Legacy Female Lead And Shaurya Being The Negative Lead Like Rhea. Prachi And Rajveer Both Stayed With Heroine Of 1st Generation i.e, Their Mother- Pragya And Preeta Respectively And Hence Became Like Them Due To Their Upbringing Whereas Rhea And Shaurya Stayed With Villan Of Gen 1, Got Their Upbringing And Hence Became Like Them. Both Prachi And Rhea Loved The Male Lead Ranbir Kohli Who In Turn Loved The Good Girl Prachi The Female Lead And Rhea From Bad Became Worse As An Obsessive One Sided Lover. Both Rhea And Shaurya Tried To Kill Prachi And Rajveer Respectively And Also Tried To Put False Drug Case On Them Out Of Jealousy And Inferiority Complex.
Similarly This Show Right From Promo Indicated A Love Triangle And In Episodes Also We See Rajveer And Palki Loving Each Other Whereas Shaurya Started Liking Palki.
Rajveer/Rudraksh Luthra Is The Most Important/Central Character Of 2nd Generation Kundali Bhagya Around Whom The Story Will Revolve Like Preeta Arora/Luthra Was Of 1st Generation.
Only Rajveer Looks Like PreeRan's Son From Every Angle- He Is Righteous, Helpful, Loving And Caring Like His Mother Preeta And Is Handsome, Attractive, Has Anger Issues, Is Non Forgiving Like His Father Karan.
Right From The Time Rajveer Was Born We Have Seen Tracks Revolving Around Him, Villains Have Targeted Him- Kidnapped, Attempted Murder, Later After Leap Also We See Villains Planning To Sent Him To Jail And Even Murder Him.
Rajveer Arora Being Rudraksh Luthra The Lost Elder Son Of Karan-Preeta Luthra And The Heir Of Luthra Empire Is The Biggest Reveal Plot Of 2nd Generation.
Rajveer Has Highest Screen Time In Episodes Along With His Mother Preeta And Is Always Portrayed As A Hero- He Is Either Saving His Loved Ones From The Troubles Created By Villains Or Trying To Take Revenge From The Villains, His Romantic Angle With The Female Lead Palki Started Right From The Time They Met And Since Then We Have Gradually Seen Their Mutual Liking Developing Into Love. He Also Has A Great Bromance With His Friend Mohit And Also His Relationship With Luthra Family Is Amazing, They Even Without Knowing He Is Their Elder Son, Have Accepted Him As Their Family Member And He Too Even After Having Hard Feelings For Them Still Have Reciprocated Their Feelings. So Strong Is His Character That Even His Solo Scenes Without Female Lead Is Enough To Show Him As A Hero In The Show. He Ofcourse Dislikes His Brother Shaurya And It's Obvious For Him To Do So Considering All That Shaurya Has Been Doing To Him Right From Start.
Another Point I Would Like To Add- Rajveer Is The One Who Handles The Business As Shaurya Is Shown As A Useless Person Who Makes Wrong Decisions And Hence Luthra Family Specially Karan Trusts Only On Rajveer. Karan Himself Said How Business Is Handled By Rajveer When Daljeet Asked Who Handles His Business As She Also Knows Shaurya Is Of No Use, He Is Just A Nepotism Product Surviving On His Father's Name Unlike Rajveer Who Is Extremly Talented Self Made Person. This Is Why From Rakhi To Preeta And Specially Karan Himself See His Reflection In Rajveer, Karan Said The Kind Of Attitude Rajveer Has Doesn't Suits On Anyone Else But Perfectly Suits On Him, He Also Said That Rajveer Reminds Him Of His Younger Days. Karan Likes Rajveer A Lot And Is Proud Of Him, For Him He Is Like His Lost Son Rudraksh (Which He Actually Is) Whereas Karan Dislikes Shaurya And Feels Ashamed Of Him As He Is A Criminal, He Directly Said Many Times He Is Not Like Him At All And In case Just To Pacify Karan's Anger His Father Mahesh Tells That Karan Was Also Like Shaurya, He Gets More Angry And Takes It As An Insult To Get Compared With A Criminal Like Shaurya.
Shaurya On The Other Hand Is A Highly Problematic Guy He Is Not A Grey Character As He Has Neither Displayed Any Good Traits Nor Has He Done Any Good Deed To Cover For His Bad Ones, It's Been A One Way Traffic And Redemption From Here Doesn't Looks Possible. Its Not That He Just Hates Rajveer, He Doesn't Seriously Loves Anyone In His Family. Also Him Hating Rajveer To The Extent Of Wanting To Kill Him In A Painful Manner Without Any Solid Reason Is A Point Of No Return For His Character, Even His Evil Friends Were Shocked, Sandy Even Hesitated But He Wants To Kill Rajveer Just Because He Is Jealous of Him And It's Not Nidhi Who Suggested Him To Do So But It's The Other Way Around, It's He Who Went To Nidhi For Help. Also Most Of The Bad Deeds He Did In Past Were Without Nidhi Telling Him To Do So, Hence His Crimes Can't Be Swept Under The Carpet By Putting Entire Blame On Nidhi. Also He Has Always Been Like This Even Before Meeting Palki/Rajveer It's Not Like He Became Bad Due To Some Situation/Event.
Now He Does Have Some Soft Feelings For Preeta But That Didn't Stop Him From Fooling Her To Frame Rajveer In False Case And Now Kill Him Without Thinking How Will Preeta Feel. He Already Hates His Real Mother And Rajveer And After Their Truth Reveal He Will Hate Them More Partly Due To Nidhi. Also Not To Forget His Mother Preeta Could Have Died As Well Because Of Him. Just Like Pragya Supported Evil Rhea Till She Knew Her Reality Preeta Too Is Supporting Shaurya Being Unaware Of His Reality.
Shaurya Has Molested Palki While Pretending To Be Her Love Rajveer Just Like Rhea Did With Ranbir Pretending To Be Prachi.
Shaurya Too Insults Rajveer For His Financial Status Like Rhea Did With Prachi.
Even A Potential Gold Digger Shanaya Who Isn't A Criminal Deserves A Better Guy Than Him Who Has Commited Many Crimes And Is A Potential Murderer. Not To Forget He Harmed Female Lead Palki As Well Many Times Crossing The Limits And Even Now When He Has Started Liking Palki He Is Trying To Hook Up With Girls Whose Name Also He Doesn't Know Which Shows His Poor Character Graph. Adding To That Even His Screen Space In The Show Is Not Upto The Mark.
Paras And Sana Were Confirmed As Leads Even Before This Generation Got On Air. There Were Articles In The Media About Paras Being Approached For Lead Of Next Generation Kundali Bhagya, Sana In An Interview Thanked Fans For Accepting And Loving Palveer, Basheer Said He Will Be Playing A Negetive Lead And The Episodes Have Confirmed That By Portrayal Of Their Characters. Rajveer And Palki Got Famous Kinner Blessings Which Karan And Preeta Had Got, Their Names Starts With R And P The Favourite Lead Couple Letter Of Balaji. They Also Promote Other Shows Like A Lead Pair Like KumKum Bhagya, Saregamapa, Kaise Mujhe Tum Mil Gaye, Films Like Dream Girl, Gadar 2 Etc.
Having Said That It's Always Shown To Be A Love Triangle Right From Promos Just Like 1st Generation Though There Both Brothers Were Positive Characters, Hence We See Some Scenes Of Shaurya With Palki Just Like We Saw Rishab And Preeta Scenes, Even Though Palki Has Despise For Shaurya Unlike Preeta For Rishab, For This Reason We Also See Balaji Social Media Handles At Times Promoting Shaurya And Palki As Well Along With Palveer, Even Though Zeetv Always Promotes Palveer By Only Using Their Hashtag. Shaurya And Shanaya Who Is Paired Opposite Him Accompany Rajveer And Palki To Events Though Mostly We See Only Rajveer And Palki Going Together Like For Zee Ganesh Puja. The Diwali Dance Was A Cross Ship Dance And Even There It Was Not A Romantic Song. Btw Even Rhea Danced With Ranbir In KumKum Bhagya In A Similar Kind Of Event Of ZeeTV Which Was Promoted As Well.
Ekta Kapoor Is Strict About Contracts, So No Surprises Can Be Expected, Here Leads Are Decided Right From Start And She Doesn't Cares About Social Media Fans In fact She Gets Irritated By Them.
This Is Legacy Of Preeta And It Has Been Passed On To Her Son Rajveer Who Is A White Character Just Like She Was. He Has Always Been With Her Since He Was Born And She Has Chosen Palki For Her Son Rajveer. Also Shaurya Is No Where Like Karan, As Karan Has Never Done The Evil Things Which Shaurya Has Done And Even Though He Had Some Grey Shades, He Always Loved His Family Members.
Rajveer And Palki Romance Is Like A Breath Of Fresh Air- The Old School Romantic Pair Where Both Green Flag Male And Female Leads Love Each Other Right From Start And Never Hurt Each Other Unlike The Toxic Pairs Of ITV Which Is Mostly Shown These Days Where Male Lead Is A Red Flag And Keeps Hurting Green Flag Female Lead In The Repeated Trope Of Haters To Lovers.
Also Mostly Girls Including Shanaya Like Rajveer For His Looks And Personality Whereas They Like Shaurya For His Money And Fame.
Rajveer Is Given Look Of A Hero, The Boy Next Door Types Whereas Shaurya Is Given A Spoiled Brat Kind Of Look Which Looks Negetive. Also Rajveer Has Displayed Various Emotions- Sadness, Romance, Anger, Even Comedy This Range Is Missing In Shaurya!
