If I have to comment on retainin Karan-Nandini, Ekta shud not have retained them tbh...there is no track which can be shown between them...
KN are lovely couple...if we watch S1- KN were seperated by Ansh, later Nandini went into coma, then she went to Jail, fans were rooting for them to get married and later they had track surrounding their long lost son Parth...and apart from KN track , Karan was shown taking a lot of decisions in family after Baa,Mihir and Tulsi....he was one of main characters....all their tracks were explored in S1...
Now retaining them in S2 is a misalignment...Tulsi and Mihir are married for 38 yrs do by this logic Karan being Mandira's son is with Tulsi from past 13-15 yrs...but according to original story line right now Nandini should be serving her jail term for killing Aditya gujral but in S2 we are seeing KN as lovely couple settled abroad with kids...
If ekta is retaining KN, There is no Masala track which can be shown between them...these ppl are madly in love with each other...wont cheat each other...and if there is conflict with Kids - Tulsi will resolve...so KN can be shown only as a loving couple not adding much to story...it was better without retaining them...with focus on Angad, Hrithik and Pari makers wont concentrate much on Karan-Nandini.
Even if we see S1 - The last leap didn't work much with entry of lot of young gen...makers went back to concentrate on Mihir - Tulsi, Karan - Nandini and by end they even concentrated a bit on Ganga-Sahil...
S2 is out of place...nothing is connected ...its just set in parallel universe alltogether...and younger gen or gen z - I am unable to connect with this gen z tracks...
Ekta should have just picked from cliffhanger of S1 or should have started this new season with new name...if she is retaining the old names and their characters as it is - then core OG story should have been retained...
