I agree w/ this completely, but the person responsible for it is that loser Jyoti. The ole bindas Kabir, who'd pop like a Jack-in-the-box on Jyoti in the theater, or tease her about being so uptight w/ her students, or barge into her home uninvited and hit on dadi was soooooo much better than the saint version. This moronic transformation of Kabir started w/ the reform of Brij, and went on to other things, and I really stopped enjoying him after he entered politics to ensure that his father gets elected CM of Rajasthan. Also, I miss Amit, the pal who was such a cool guy to witness. Both Kabir & Jyoti would have been better off in his Udaipur home, and w/ him as the media executive, rather than in the Sisodia haveli having to keep one eye on his loser aunt.
I don't think it'll happen, but I really wish we could have Amit back @ some point. These morons can get rid of likable characters like Pratik, Suday, MN&G, Amit, but we still have to put up w/ Pankaj, Bhairavi, Padma and so on. Disgusting!!!
