Lovely post.... but I only read yours and not the responses. Ghar ka kaam awaits....
Yes, we do need to give the show sometime and see what Sam and Rahul are up to and how they will affect the lives of Shaan and Khanak.
The intro for Sam was not great. It was better for Duck. Let's see what Rahul says.
As for the question of whether Shaan needs to change because he is married to Khanak, this is a big question yaar.... but experience tells me, yes and no. Depends on what the issue is... and truth is, most people do change after marriage. They don't sit and analyse 'should i change? should i not change?'.... you just change... bcos this new person is in your life a lot and he/she influences you and you do the same to him/her... it just happens.
