Yes, probably the Simran part was scripted - but was Zee behind the whole scheme or was it from someone else's head, I wonder. It was a pretty cruel game, I gotta say, what they did for the sake of TRPs. I remember how he believed when Yashita pretended to be Simran calling from Calcutta... HR jumped in on time to reveal it and save him. Maybe the script writers put into his head that a girl called Simran calls from Calcutta and asks about him and all that... Whatever it is, that was a bad thing to do... Despite his disability, he also has dreams and he isnt aware that he isnt a gal-puller -- that's one con about his disability... They are not fully aware of emotions and true feelings of others towards them or anyone else...
Akanna, that part was also scripted. BTW, what ever you said, is absolutely right. To me, no one should ever reveal the weaknesses of others to the rush. But these shows are doing this continuously. God bless them.
