Sad thing is that it is not TRPs that is killing this show. As long as the vision was intact, the TRPs were rising with promising regularity. By the time Krishna became a BDO the TRPs were 2.3 but then as soon as that dream of hers came true, the momentum of the show was sort of lost and they have never fully gained it back, though we have had some wonderful episodes and moments. It is only in the past two weeks that the story and characterisation have really suffered.
@Priya: Right? I would think they would make this a little convincing. Silver lining is that TTS knows Ganga won't take part in subterfuge which is a smidge of something resembling redemption for her character. There may be hope. Or I might just be over optimistic...probably the latter. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best right?
@Moni and Rachna: Yes, I am glad they did give some justification to Pintu's attachment to his mother. I am still wondering how he has agreed to get married without her blessing, but I guess he just assumes she will give it...based on what? I don't know!
