Or maybe it's just a way to give raunak some kinda closure for now, so they can shift focus back to sonalika-shiv-prat triangle? Ughh please no.. I don't want to see the typical "two girls fighting over a guy" trope again
Honestly it can be a number of things.
Raunak being ashamed of himself and leaving his criminal ways (Payal will ultimately be caught and punished unless they are rushed to end the show, can't do the same with the actor / character who they had chosen as lead and later sidelined). Raunak might be heartbroken and not totally obsessed with Prart so they can push Raunak-Tanya angle. This might frustrate him enough to force-marry Tanya and again they can push their stupid Raunak-Tanya angle. Raunak and Sona might team up, Raunak might help Prart as a friend if she's cornered and Shiv isn't there...Smita might reveal the truth and it will add to Raunak's guilt and lead to all of them playing happy families while they fight against Sona, Payal, and the like...so many options.

I'm glad makers aren't forcing candy floss scenes on us with no meaning or impact, we need more scenes without Prathana falling, nok jhok or eye lock with BGM, I like plain scenes too mixed with everything, cause I don't want Prarthana fanning out every time she see's Shivansh like us
