I think there will be some twist and Vaishnavi will not marry Rio. Tulsi herself points out that Vaishnavi isn't happy, that she is being unfair to Rio and then asks Vaishnavi to come to the Mandap. That doesn't make sense.
I like Vaishnavi - Parth pairing and would have appreciated a more developed track of them.
I don't understand the sudden rush of the track. If , as per my guess, Vaishnavi marries Parth instead of Rio (maybe Tulsi will expose Rio. How come no one is bothered who is leaking Virani news in papers? I had hoped that Parth would probably understand from the newspaper breaking news that something is fishy as obviously Vaishnavi wouldn't be behind it and eventually catch Rio), I wouldn't be completely happy because Parth really character assassinated her in front of his entire family and there should have been a redemption track. I mean, Vaishnavi suffered so much with the factory gossip and getting thrown out of her own house, that a proper redemption track is the bare minimum along with a dramatic, confrontational Rio expose track. I liked Vaishnavi pushing away Parth's hand when she remembered what all he said to her.
If Vaishnavi - Rio do get married, consider me shook.
Tulsi, Mihir or Shobha need to sit down with Gautam and address his issues. He brings up finances all the time and poor Karan bears the brunt of it inspite of clarifying every time that he isn't doing a favour. Gautam and Damini are entitled instead of happy for being with their family after so long.
Nandini was the one who wanted to stay in India with Viranis and now she is having a hard time. Feeling bad for her. I understand Tulsi's POV that she cannot punish Rio for Ansh's crimes but I understand Nandini concerns as well.
Didn't like Karan giving POA to Parth. Nandini -Karan should have waited for a few years and Samaira should have gotten a chance too. Tulsi atleast give a chance to her grandkids, expected the same from Karan & Nandini.
Out of Angad, Rithik and Pari, only Pari's track was developed well (I liked Pari the least out of the three
). Angad - Vrinda was okay but Hritik - Munni was rushed.
Missing Shobha. She was loving, caring, sensible, full of positive energy.
If the 10 year leap rumours are true, I hope it isn't a repeat of Rio marrying Vaishnavi and then Tulsi shooting Rio to save Vaishnavi. It's too unrealistic even for ITV. In that case, probably Tulsi will get a sentence of 10 years and when she returns to Shanti Niketan, everyone is distant from each other and she brings all the Viranis together again.
As for the 2 key characters track end, I hope it isn't Nandini - Karan or Damini - Gautam. Maybe Rio and I don't know.. I heard Parth may be the second one. I hope not. But if it is Parth, maybe Rio kills Parth and then Tulsi kills Rio. And maybe then Tulsi gets sentenced for 10 years i.e. the leap. I don't think leaps work in bringing TRPs like they used to anymore. People watch 1-2 weeks out of curiousity and then leave. Leap after leap can't replace the hook power of a good story.
