I think since cooking is a great talent and our Khanak is very talented in that department. Why take that away from her.
I say put her in that kitchen but this time to achieve something.
Let Gangubai realize her worth and put her completely incharge of her business. Her being so efficient at it that she is forced to give Khanak her stay rent free and on top of that pay up something. So this way instead of Shaan having to worry about roz ka kharcha and rent he can really work and achieve the heights he means to achieve. Because it doesnt seem like Shaan is trying to shirk his responsibity this time. He is truly trying but all odds seem against him.
This way he will have khanak to thank love and appreciate as well. More power to khanak.
Oh and i love Khanaks hair pinned up. Now just want to see her not sleep in those salwar kameezes. Maybe cute nightsuits and also maybe they can modernize her look slightly in due time.
She has come from wearing ghagra cholis and a pallu to smart tight fitted suits. Keep up the improvement and development of her character.
I loved how she fought back with khushi and even said the english properly. Would love to see her improve more in that department and then would love to see Shaan appreciating her more for it.
There is so much room for evolution in Khanaks charater. She has a beautiful character sketch. Please CVS use it to your advantage.
