You guys may not agree with what i say but i strongly feel there is a need to introduce another parallel male lead into the show. A person who understands and befriends her for who she is.We know she is innocent and clear hearted. He can be her confidante and also a person who helps her fight all her battles against Rashi and her mother.May be educate her a little and also admire her for the person that she is.
He can love her, but she need not.
I know this formula has been tried and tested on various shows before but trust me this one will work.I will tell you why.Very often you dont realise the value of what you own.It could be a tie lying in your cupboard or even a clock on your table that you may never look at.The moment someone outside walks in and says they want it, you immediately get all proprietorial about it and want to keep it to yourself.
Ahems struggle can be shown where he is on one hand happy that he finally is letting go of his wife but he also doesnt like the fact that someone else is gettting her. For this reason the person can be Ahem's friend himself. The friend can know Ahems state of mind and also how he is disconnected from his wife.Later he can also be sharing all his feelings with Ahem since he knows he doesnt love his wife to even one inch.
This pain, separation as well as the feeling of bellingingness can bring the two hearts together according to me.
