Hindi TV Serial - Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani - The serial coming to an end

The serial finally coming to an end. It was an interesting serial, since if you think of a serial with vampires and werewolves, you would think of the serial to be a horror serial, and many people would ignore such a serial. However, given the story of the serial, focusing on vampires and werewolves who live along with humans without being recognized, things get more interesting. The story focused on the love story between a vampire (who is immortal, and is also recognized as a non-living being) and a human (who becomes aware that the other is a vampire).
Things get very complex near the end, with werewolves and vampires fighting for a treasured potion that gives powers to the owner of the potion, and with a renegade vampire who is much more powerful than most vampires and werewolves (although no reasons are given as to how Mythili became so powerful), with Alina being the werewolf who would have been the nature leader of the werewolves in the fight against vampires, but who wants peace between these 2 types of ancient creatures. Further, in another twist, Arnav, is called away by the vampires and made the head of the vampire clan, leaving his family unaware of his fate and causing them great distress.
The serial ends with the fighting Jay (who wants to kill Abhay, who is now weak because he is a human) capturing Abhay and trying to kill him, but instead being killed by Arnav. In addition, Chand and Haseena are freed by the vampires (although they are vampires themselves) along with arnav and Abhay. 2 sets of marriages happen, where Misha gets married to Kabir, and finally Piya is getting married to Abhay in a grand event.
The last few months of the serial was very confusing, but it is now over.

The serial is now showcasing another social evil that can be like torture for the people who get caught up in it, and with little support from society for those who are afflicted by it. This is the 'nata pratha'; as a result of which Phooli is now suffering. She was apparently married with the sole reason of giving birth to a baby, after which the baby would be taken from her and the person to whom she was married also refused to support her.
Soon after she gave birth to a baby boy, she started seeing some strange customs where she was not allowed to go anywhere with her baby (even when she suggested that she go with her baby to her parents house for some time); and her mother in law refused all such suggestions. And then worse things were to happen.
She was told that now she now no longer had a claim to the baby, and it belonged to her husband and his first wife, and she was turned out from the house. When she pleaded to atleast provide her milk to the baby, even that was refused. Frustrated, she tried to take the baby away, but was detected and badly beaten and then turned away.
When she was wandering around in a shocked state, she was seen by Shivani, who supported her and took her to Anandi's house since Phooli was mentioning the name of Anandi. There, the story of Phooli was revealed to all, and Anandi was badly shocked, promising that she would get Phooli the justice due to her. And since Anandi was now the sarpanch of the village, one would assume that it would be easier for her to get justice, but for now, it does not seem like that the village people would support her.

Hindi TV Serial - Pavitra Rishta - Manav planning to leave Archana, take daughters, and move to Canada

The separation between Manav and Archana is growing every minute. In the past, they were totally in love with each other, understanding each other even though many people would conspire to separate them. However, things started turning for the bad after the party where Archana handed over Soham to Varsha for her to take care of (believing that Varsha was not cured). However, this was not to be. Manav had objected at that stage, but Archana assured him that everything would be alright. And then the inevitable happened, where Manav noticed Varsha missing, since she had run away from there with Soham. This made Manav very angry with Archana, and he blamed her for everything. He already had some anger inside him for the court case that Archana had launched against him for the housing project, and ultimately the court case went against him.
Now, things are moving very fast. Manav has decided to move to Canada along with family, which does not include Archana, which means that he is now ready for a life without her. He wants to take his mother (who is delighted at a life away from Archana and away from the chawl), his father (who does not like what is happening), and his twin daughters (and Archana is ready to let him take away the daughters).
On the other side, Vaishali is severely tormented, with Dharmesh locking her up; she is finally rescued by her child and runs away from Dharmesh, with Dharmesh hunting after her. Satish, who was very angry about the wrong work done by Varsha, gets a call from Vaishali since she needs the help of Satish to evade the hoodlums chasing after her.

Most serials show some kind of deep attachment between people, and then suddenly, something happens that cause them to grow apart from each other, that love suddenly turns to a form of hatred (where they are ready to be away from each other and throw harsh words at each other). And then you can throw in a time leap, where the people are apart from each other and will then meet many years later. Pavitra Rishta is going through the same transformation, where it will go through a time leap, and before the time leap, they have shown that all the relationships in the serial have gone down.
To some extent Archana has caused the problems that have occurred. Already there was tension between her and Manav over the court case that happened when Ajit got bulldozers over to break the chawl, something which was masterminded by Dharmesh as a way of getting revenge. The case proceeds in court, at the same time that Archana is pregnant (she already has Soham and Sachu, and not sure whether she is capable of handling more kids); she finally delivers twin baby girls, and Manav is very happy since he has always wanted a daughter, but then the court order goes against him, where the chawl project is defeated, but Manav is not jailed. This makes Dharmesh and Manjusha unhappy, and causes Vaishali great distress, since she finally leaves Dharmesh.
At a party, Archana hands over Sachu to Varsha for safe keeping, even though she knows that in the past Varsha used to obsess over Sachu, and even though Manav objects, she does not listen to him. The obvious happens, where Varsha runs away with Sachu and Manav blames Archana for all this. When confronted, Varsha jumps into the water along with Sachu and is not found, and Manav totally blames Archana for this, causing a break in their relations.
