Looking forward for the infamous Saras-Kumud split

I agree that a little tension and intensity between the main leads is great; it leads to dramatic scenes and emotions but it can't go on indefinitely; this isn't a 3 hour movie, this is a series and the audience will tune out if the "break-up" lasts too long, after all, how many months of that can keep the audience interested?

I think people have to give the show and the CV's some creative leeway to change from the book or story, if you already know how the show is and will end, that's no fun, its already pre-determined. The difficulty in adapting books to movies is obvious, the books are always better, so the movies that succeed, use the source book as inspiration, touch on the main points but allow the series to grow beyond the book. So what if its a little different, its no disrespect to the original story, that's a classic and always will be, but adapting it to the tastes of the modern audience will allow the series to last for a few yrs.

Have the tension and heartache of separation, have the moments of true love and passion, but also use the supporting cast and develop a few of their own storylines, albeit in the background. Have the Danny/KumarI story parallel for a little while and then have a storyline with Kusum, the actress is good, pretty, so allow her some moments in the series to grow, and no, not just have her wind up being with Saras just because the original story says so.

Anyways, everyone has their opinions, none are right or wrong, just coming from a practical TV modern audience member, a series that lasts has to adapt and change in accordance to the times, blindly following a pre-scripted novel will not make the series last for 2 yrs.

A true SC fan from the start and looking forward to watching the future.

P.S. big mistake switching the actor of Vidyachatur
