In my eyes, that is cheating.If Gul had faith in her original story and in her storytelling ways, she would not have used crutches called 'Asad and Zoya'. She would not make sure that viewers are emotionally involved in them. She would not have cashed on Karan and Surbhi's chemistry and Karan's popularity. Of course, that is called smart business.I agree with Sujata. If she had started with Ayaan and Zoya, their divorce, Zoya and Asad - all the things that synopsis told us - I would have taken what she showed, because as many here say this is her story and she has full rights to do what she wants to do. But, if she has selected to remember her "story" now, she looses my respect as a storyteller. If she wanted to tell her story, she should have stuck to her guns from start.As a businesswoman, sure she is smart and will go far.But, thumbs down as a storyteller. Also, thumbs down as a businesswoman from my side, because I like honest people.Likes of Gul are here to earn TRPs and make money and I will leave it to that.
