It is apparent that the production team clearly never thought ahead with this storyline. Initially the plan was to have two parrallel storylines with Rudra and Gauri to be one of the couples. However, reading the comments on this forum and elsewhere, the writers are now in a quandry as people are more interested in the Rudra-Pihu jodi and do not appear to have taken on the jodi of Rudra-Gauri as was originally anticipated. Along with declining ratings each week, the writers are getting worried.

Desperate, they have decided to embark on the weakest idea of introducing another guy and this too for Gauri. What is interesting is they have not clearly decided if this is what they want to do which makes it clear, the writers are flying by the seat of their pants. As always someone came up with the concept of this drama, a handful of scripts were written to see if the show would take off. The first few weeks went well and the writers are now scrambling as to how to take this show further.
As viewers, before blindly embarassing this concept of ANOTHER male as yourself, what is the PURPOSE of this other character? I read through a number of posts on this topic and no-one has given a relatively decent reason for adding this character. If the writers make this guy a good catch and have Gauri in a quandry, then this show is going to look like a ghastly mess similar to a bad soup where all the vegetables are now mushed together and no-one can figure out what ones were added when...
If the writers want to do anything, the story line and character involving Pihu needs to be strengthened and improved upon. In addition the writers need to spend more time giving the viewers a good reason as to why she will end up rejecting Rudra for Abhay and then later realizing the foolishness behind this decision. This "slap on the face" was not well thought out at all. Plus the chemistry between these two characters is weak and the chemistry between Rudra and Gauri is going to fizzle out very soon if the writers continue to make Rudra look like a completely pathetic male. I like seeing Gauri as strong, but does it have to be at the expense of making the hero look like a weakling?
Going back to the original idea of introducing a new guy? NOPE, I think it is the worst move immaginable as it serves us with NOTHING original nor does it move this story forward or in the right direction. I would rather see a better storyline and more information about these characters. For example, what does Rudra do? Where did he study? Where are his friends? How did his relationship with his father deteriorate? How and when did this temper develop? How old is he? And please don't tell us 22, he looks 30.
Also, let us here more about Gauri. Who was her father? How far is she educated...
I think the writers and their plan to introduce a new guy is a shoddy idea but unfortunately one of the tragic ideas that production teams think of whenever they can't figure out what else to do...

Laila - I do agree that this new guy idea is really really dumb.
But I am not sure if they are changing the story on us. I think probably the new guy thing is to prolong the Rudr-Gauri friendship track. I remember reading somewhere that they are getting good feedback about this track and want to prlong this track. So this dumb idea is probably to do just that.

And this is the ONLY idea they can come up with? (Groaning)...It is just so unimaginative - I've seen enough desi shows to see that it offers nothing original to the storyline...

Where does the notion come from that Pihu-Rudra is a better couple? Or that they have better chemistry? 😕
It is Rudra-Gauri's complicated relationship that makes the show interesting and binny/iqbal make a mind-blowing pair. I mean they have already had the most passionate amazing scene (the kiss) lol, that other couples on tv get only on suhaag raat and that too in a dampened style.😆
So love the bravado and unconventional nature of Sangini.
They could take the show a long way before making the two fall in love and get together. A few months of Rudra acting devdas after Pihu's marriage would be great as we can see more Gauri-Rudra 'friendship' scenes.
Will also be nice seeing Pihu/Abhay relationship develop as Pihu is a volatile girl and needs someone calm to understand her. Two spoilt brats together will just be boring - and then what would be gauri's purpose in the show? Ruhu get married= End of the show.
I don't think Rudra is a weakling, and Gauri definitly can be shown as stronger. After the first few weeks I think she has lost some of that strength that gave her character the edge. I love the fact that Rudra is the 'damsel in distress' so to speak. Sick of seeing poor girls needing rescue.
Another thing with the story's roots in devdas and Gauri's family having singing history, I thought at some point she might do song and dance esp with Binny's dancing background.
Want to know more about the three families back stories for sure, but hope Gauri is not revealed as the daughter of some rich guy.
Anyway I find Ruhu boring and their story interests me only as far as a backdrop and prologue to RaGa. So this new boy thing, let's hope it's just a silly search that ends with no actual discovery of a boy.

Yep absolutely dumb and adds no value to the real story. All we can do is provide our feedback to the creative team how dumb it sounds.

@Moonstruck - I also dont find Rudr-Pihu interesting as there is no depth in that story/couple. I like Abhay and Pihu together bcos I think that formula gives us a spunky couple with sparks. I also love Rudr-Gauri couple as their's is a relationship that has many shades.

The idea is completely dumb.The CTs do not know what they want to show.initially they had a concept and they were going according to it.But now they started to deviate from the original concept to get more TRP's but unfortunately they are getting a very bad response.i hope the CVs will decide what they really want to present and go acording the way rather then making a mess of the concept.
