OK. Soham is alive; he is an alcoholic and dysfunctional father. We don't know where Gauri is. The rest of this track is still going the Parichay way. Like Jeetendra in the film, the serial has a tutor for the younger siblings and he is clearly attracted to the eldest sister. Now that Arjun has spotted Ankita, and tried to tell Purvi, it's a matter of time before Archana-Manav learn about the existence of five more grandkids in Mumbai. It's clear that the five kids resent their grandparents, because of the way their father treats them. Sparks are going to fly if these grandkids and the grandparents start staying together. In the movie, Jeetendra acted as the bridge between the kids and their grandpa. Something similar might happen in the serial.
