They hit gold with PraShiv, mainly because of the actors but also Shivansh's character, he was introduced as a smart grey-shaded character who wasn't an out-and-out jerk. Namik has been doing a great job with his micro expressions balancing things even when the script was off. They should have utilised that and focused on writing a story instead of slapping together tropes and calling it a day.
They should have introduced some small villains who could have been caught and dealt with. A journalist who snooped on their marriage and tried to malign them. A mole in Shivansh's company of someone from the house staff. Things PraShiv could have fought together, slowly falling in love.
I absolutely agree with you. To add to that, instead of white washing Smita, they could have shown her more grey by the mole angle you mentioned. Hell, they could have expanded more into the dynamics between Shivansh and Raunak into more of a rivalry rather than focus being prarthana. Raunak right now feels inferior to Shivansh as he snatched both women he valued in life- his mother and lover. That would have so good if it ended up as a battle of wits.
Other angles include expanding more into the past of BM, considering there is no Chachu present, and any issues with Tanya/Gayatri to utilize side characters more.
Hell, I can write a better script than these CVs, balancing Prashiv's presence with others.
