They should have added Sneha too. Shivansh could have fought the Zaveris (alone), Prarthana (on fighting with the Zaveris) and the world (with Prarthana), and she could have battled outside threats as well as his complicated relationships.
Smita shouldn't have been whitewashed, BM shouldn't have been vilified, both should have been grey. Smita had left Shivansh, she had chosen to forget him, she could have still chosen Raunak and fought back, with some sort of guilt for having wronged Shiv. BM could have been shown as someone who genuinely cares about Shiv, who is not so anti-Prart but enough, someone who often manipulates Shiv but doesn't want to cause him harm and who slowly recognises that Prarthana is on their side. They should have left Sonalika as a footnote, with room to later bring her in as a business rival and that could have worked as Zaveris and Randhawas forming an unlikely alliance...
