Agreed! Like you, I was attracted to the show for its family aspect, showing the relationships between the cousins and how they all lived together.
I'm so tired of all the Viraj stuff, both in the show and on the forum. Tahir is a good actor and Viraj is a nice character, but the show can totally do without him. THE SHOW WAS FINE BEFORE HIM AND WILL BE/ IS FINE WITHOUT HIM. I'm so freaking tired of Gayatri and whatnot. She does not even have anything to do with Nisha anymore, so why show her? And I'm not looking forward to the Kaira whatever stuff. THEY ARE NOT ESSENTIAL TO THE STORY.
And while I definitely miss the whole family scenes, I do not mind the Nisha-Kabir scenes as of now (although the plot line given to them with Chandu is just beyond ridiculous). For me, Nisha is the main protagonist and her interactions with people make up most of the show. That's why I initially didn't mind her and Viraj's scenes. And that's why I don't mind her and Kabir's scenes. We're seeing her grow up and meet different characters and formulate new relationships with them.
That said, I still very much hope that the CVs reign themselves in and focus more on the GF. The actors in he GF, young and old, are the best parts of this show.
