totally agree Diya! The way they developed SAJan's love story, it would have been very difficult, almost possible to accept Mayank-Gunjan. It would have been a compromise for both. But it is not too far fetched. Both are grieving their loss and are alone ( the makers conveniently forgot Mayank's mom and Gunjan's buaji/bui in S2). Moreover, Gunjan is shown as unforgiving of Samrat this time. It is weird, but I have seen it happen in real life a couple of times. and remember Hum Aapke hain kaun?
Actually, if you were watching the show at that time, there was no way anyone would accept Samrat falling for anyone else. His world revolved around Gunjan, and hers around his ... their story had been developed so beautifully that they were perfect for each other, and one could never imagine either with anyone else. Gunjan-Mayank would have been a compromise for both Gunjan and Mayank, and it would have killed Samrat.
I loved Gunjan's character development in the show ... she was the weak timid shy girl at the start ... and she was the strongest character in the show by the time it ended.
Don't say you don't want an unwed mother story, Anisha ... from reports, that's what Gul's new show is about 😆
And Diya what I meant by not liking the unwed mom track is it would be sick if they do the typical 70s-80s style of bin-Byahi-maa. 😆I am all for it if they handle it more maturely and realistically like in the movie Paa.
