To get rid of Shyam the baby had to die

Loved seeing the dance and really wish they would just have focused on that rather than running it parallel to Anjali getting cut by the glass and the electrocution.

It's a shame that we won't get a happy fun filled marriage track like Akash & Payal.

If they wanted to show the remarriage track then why not just do that and then carry on the story with Anjali and Shyam,

But having said that in order to get rid of Shyam completely the writers had to figure out a way to get rid of the unborn baby as harsh as that may seem.

For the immediate future obviously Shyam will end up coming back to RM on the request of Dadi and Anjali as she will use that as collateral against Arnav (Shyam blaming Arnav for the loss of the child etc)

But in the long run to get rid of a villian like Shyam there needs to be no baby because otherwise he'd always have that link to the Raizada's and essentially that is what brought hi back to begin with, he used that as an excuse to get Dadi on his side.

What remains to be seen now is how this and the upcoming mystery reveal track will affect Arnav and Khushi.

That hospital scene with the hands showed that Arnav does have difficulty in balancing his emotions and responsibility between the 2 most important women in his life. He's going to have to learn this like he's learnt other things.

At the moment we may seem him more worried and concerned with his sister, and hence pushing Khushi away but he will in time realise that he needs Khushi more, something which Anjali may help him realise once she comes out of her depressed state.

I can already sense that some people aren't happy but hold on and enjoy the ride because there's going to be lots heading our way now.

And one thing that Barun & Sanaya do really well is the emotional and heart wrenching scenes of love, loss, angst and hatred.

I like to keep positive.. I believe that everything is done for a reason and that reason always has a positive outcome..

It's just it's unfortunate that we couldn't see Anjali truly start a new life with her child. It really would have been nayi soch if she were able to finally see through Shyam's facade and move on with her life as a strong and independent woman, as well as being the one to dole out his richly deserved punishment.

But the baby dying/miscarriage/still birth was something I had expected from the get-go. It's just awful to see the way they went about it; Shyam was never portrayed as being redeemable, but this was kind of just overkill.

They had already marred the wedding proceedings with all the focus on secondary aspects and now even that khushi is gone. I sincerely hope that they manage to strike a better balance in the aftermath of the baby's death than they did during the shaadi rasms.

I wrote in another post one more thing that in my opinion this anjali faced this because it is a sort of punishment for her cheating her own brother knowingly, she met shyam secretly when she accused her brother bef that he is telling lie to be with khushi and also arnav has already confessed to his sister that he married khushi only to keep her marriage safe, the brother who looked upon her as a mother she cheated that soul, so honestly she need to face the consequences for that in a hard way, trusting that creepwa over her loving and sincere brother.
