I don’t agree to Sony’s claim that there is no story left in YUDKBH now. The show was introduced by a successful writer Naina Maheshwari who is in her 40s with a big bank balance. Right now Naina is in her early 20s and just got introduced to writing for TV shows. Since this show is inspired on Shashi Mam and Sumeet sir’s real life we all know that they were also introduced by Aruna Mam to write for her show and they wrote few more shows before landing as the writers for movies. After that only they started their own production house. They got successful with their hard work and produced numerous shows. After so many years they started work for YUDKBH.
So from show’s point of view there are still a long way for them to go. They can show the obstacles that they faced in each and every level of their professional life and how they managed to solve them successfully. Mumbai track was the second chapter of their life and it can’t be finished in just 40-50 episodes.
In personal front also they have a lot to show like Naina’s pregnancy, excitement and discomfort associated with that, taking care of kids, how they managed both personal life and professional life successfully and what are the issues that they faced during those years.
I think even before the start of the show both Ashi and Randeep were aware of how their characters are going to be and what are the ages that they have to go through during the entire show. That’s why Randeep worked hard to shed muscles to look like a teenager. Now as the story progresses through different years both of them are having physical changes also. Both Ashi and Randeep worked hard to come out of that teenager look and became more muscular. In fact Ashi was looking so elegant in that middle aged lady’s make up in the first episode and during the introduction of the Mumbai track. Even Randeep said during the interview of 450th episode celebrations that they have story left for more than 500 episodes.
So in my opinion if YUDKBH is stopping at this point of their career means it will be an incomplete journey of both of them. We saw how they fell in love and fought with everyone for that love. Now it’s time for them to fight together for a successful career which we may not be able to see if Sony decides to stop it and no season 2 can fill that gap.
