Just saw the new promo...mainly consentrates on Nikhila and Shiv. Also foucuses on the painting(obviously that escapes the fire!) and Gauri's face melds into the painting (there...what did I tell you guys?) and the voice over says: 'Darwaaze ke peeche bahut sare such chupa hai. Akhir Gauri ki shaadi ke peeche kya raaz hai?'
I can't swear that these are the exact same words but the zist is the same.
I still think Shiv had planned to marry Ipshita after Gauri's death but since he sincerely feels like a dost towards Gauri, he wants to save her life. I don't think Ekta's plannnig to make Shiv-Gauri a pair as IQ's leaving. She'll leave them as friends. I only hope Gauri doesn't go and end her life so that Shiv can marry his lady love!!
