This is a completely retard serial. I am not married yet, but I can say if two individuals, one without any conscience (Shailendra in this case) and another without any self esteem (Aradhna in this case) get married, it is bound to be a disaster. I watch this serial once in a week, and every time I watch it, it makes me cringe. I believe they did at survey, which indicated that people would prefer this track. I am not sure where they conducted this survey..probably one of the most backward places in India. Even if they did not want to show Aradhna's "extra-marital" affair (when the marriage is non-existent, I wonder how is this extra-marital), they still did not have to show Aradhna character licking and kissing the ground her so called husband walked on. They could have show that the lawyer helped them by telling Shilendra that the property belongs to Shantanu and Aradhna, with very little booty left for him. And, then this woman, whatever her name is, would have left Shailendra in any case. Even now, they can redeem the ending by making Aradhna divorce Shailendra at the end. And, having an ending like movie Arth (that wouldn't violate the findings of their survey).
