@ maverick, my views exactly. We are now sure of one thing, Brij actually cares for pooja deeply. It's not just superficial attraction. Pooja has started questioning herself if she has misinterpreted brij's concern for her as love. We might have more of BRIJA...but it would all be from brij's side becoz he'll never stop loving pooja and it would only grow deeper. As for our naive pooja...she'll remain friends with Brij and will draw closer to Krish...will think she's In love with him later on with all his wooing and being around her all the time leading to the first episode...but deep down she's in love with Brij. Meanwhile, Brij ascends the political ladder (becomes an elected minister) still very much in touch with pooja only pooja's behaviour is platonic with him now ( check promo 1). The day pooja was shot Brij is being felicitated as Pradesh adhyaksh appointed by party high command ( daddaji) and senior leaders are unhappy about it as he is much junior with less experience. So we now have a no. Of senior leaders we know, shrivastav ( ousted now), G and bhavna's father...and many others who we don't know. So he's in good books of daddaji as he has always been by being politically correct (that includes camouflaging his feelings for pooja maintaining some kind of relationship with her (not as a couple...maybe just as a friend and wellwisher), keeping her around him to take care of her, help her achieve her dreams)
But senior leaders of the party who are unhappy with him includes G's team. Let's c who all adds up to this team as will be revealed one by one in future episodes. I have a hunch Shukla wud be part of that and Brij will NEVER suspect him. The seeds of that is already sown...the day Brij scolded him badly for the first time just for Pooja ( the guys actual name is Neeraj kumar and according to his interview he plays a very imp role in this drama and that can't happen just as secretary...he'll have to take up the role of a serious villain and he has played villain and a very good one at that in some other show and this type of role is usually typecast).So my prediction is ...these senior leaders have to get back at him...hurt him...they've tried really hard earlier but Brij is too smart for them and they've failed in all their attempts. Getting appointed as pradesh adhyaksh is the last straw. They have to back stab him but how?? Shukla is aware of Brij's weakness for pooja. He can see it clearly how much he still loves her even if she is apart. Thus the plan to hurt Brij in a way that'll break him apart. After a long drawn battle Fighting for her life pooja will survive. And then BRIJA happens.Well...wishful thinking I suppose.
wish the cv's read your wishful thinking...wld be so happy if it happen like this
