Interesting news but I hope they don't ruin the legacy. The original was so well written - sequel culture often disappoints. Fingers crossed they do justice to the story.

The original had such complex characters. Svetlana's journey was ahead of its time. Hope the sequel maintains that depth and doesn't just cash in on nostalgia.

Wow! This was the show that made me fall in love with Indian television dramas. The writing was so mature compared to today's shows. Excited but nervous about the sequel!

Respectfully, I think they should leave classics alone. The original ended perfectly. Not everything needs a sequel. But I'll still check it out because Rohit Roy is fantastic.
