a)im reminded strongly of Mahi's grandma's golden words "Aise mundo naal vyah nahi karde hai..sirf gulcchaarre udande hain"..guess she could always tell everyone that she was having her share of fun with Ishaan?at least it would be a good boost for Mahi's ego.and somewhere down the line,i agree with the grandma.đ
b)forget about romance for a while[life isnt all about romance and finding the right guy is it?]she could utilize the opportunities she has acquired[she has become an almost celebrity now] and change her job?her new job might be better and she could get Ishaan out of her head as well?
c)go out with Shiv instead?although im opposed to this idea strongly.its like having a rebound guy.she isnt ready for Shiv right now.and she would end up treating him bad in the process.
d)get back at Ishaan?sabotage his image in public?although she would have a lot more to lose than him.still,it would be worth a try.after all he has all but chewed on her and spat out the mangled remains.
