Having not actually watched this track, I am limited in terms of how much I can comment. One thing I will say, though, is that I think it's ridiculous that Ratan Singh could be shown to have a bunch of goons under his thumb. I'm pretty sure he was not introduced as somebody rich/influential/powerful! Someone like Heth Singh has the power to have goons etc. Rat was an ordinary man with an ordinary income as far as I'm aware. For the sake of sensationalism and regaining their lost TRPs, they took convenient leaps of logic and adopted cheap Ekta-like storylines. So no, in my opinion, the CVs do not deserve a pat on the back.
More than the CVs, I am disappointed in the audience on whom this tactic was actually successful... but I guess people have different tastes, and most viewers are not as invested in the quality of the show as we are... so I guess they must have seen the masaledaar promos of the haveli burning down and thought, "Oh, that looks exciting and interesting! Chalo dekh lete hai ke kya hoga BH waale ka". But "exciting and interesting" does not necessarily mean that a track is of good quality or has any deeper meaning or merit or creative originality about it. And that is what the CVs are lacking, and to be honest have been lacking since AnSh's marriage. It is painfully evident that they did not plan ahead in terms of how the plot would progress after the grand nuptials, since it was after this that the lack of direction started. The replacement only served to make the cracks that were starting to appear all the more evident. So yeah... the CVs still REALLY need to get their act together, and I think after all these months of them not having it together, that probably won't happen again in whatever remains of the show's run. And hence I don't reckon this massive upwards shift in TRPs will last now that the "ZOMG WILL DADISA AND CO. BE BURNED ALIVE" sensationalism has passed.In terms of the actors... I personally cannot bear to watch Toral on screen. I tried numerous times to watch BV after the replacement and every time I saw Toral, I felt physical pain. I couldn't bear to see Shiv with a woman who was so blatantly not Anandi to me in mannerisms, looks, quirks, character, anything. It may sound silly, but I felt betrayed on so many levels. Of course the supporting cast are amazing and deserve plenty of accolades, but frankly, I watched the show primarily for Prats' Anandi, and once that was gone, everything else in the show kind of lost meaning and lustre for me. But of course veterans like Surekha ji and Anup Soni should be applauded for their endless good work and consistency, as should the younger lot like Sriti and Shashank (ESPECIALLY Shashank 😳). Indeed, it is the dedicated supporting cast who are now keeping this show afloat, since they all are far better than the actress who is supposed to be playing the centrepoint of the entire plot. So kudos to all of them, but no kudos to the CVs... at least not from my side.

I agree Suchi! Its a marvel that BV is still among the top 5 shows across ALL channels and full credit to the CVs and the exemplary cast for that!
Another thing- I feel that the story line in the immediate aftermath of AnSh wedding seemed a little shaky but seems like the CVs have found their footing once again- with multiple characters having their own stories going on. Now, the fact that it WAS shaky initially- is not exactly the CVs fault.I have noticed this pattern in most shows- once the lead protagonists get married- there IS a dearth of story lines that revolve around them. Mind you, this does not apply to shows which have active Kitchen Saas Bahu politics as their premise or shows where the leads get married as soon as the show begins. BV was building up towards AnSh marriage for the greater part of last year and its a given that the CVs will take time and shift the focus away from them. As it is, BV has never focused on one couples story for the good part of its running- we have had multiple couples being the focus of the show during its 5 year course- Kid JaAn, Shyam-Sugna, Grown up JaAn, Jagya Gauri and more recently, it was AnSh. So naturally, now, its the time for Jagya-Ganga.Also, one thing I have been wanting to comment on since a long time- I dont understand the hatred towards Toral in the forum. I get it, I am not a fan of her either and am not exactly very impressed by her acting. But if someone does not like her, is it really IMPORTANT to criticize her every opportunity a person gets? If you don't like her, don't watch her. Simple. And its one thing to criticize but the constant comments on her physical attributes is just sad. And also, by reading the plethora of comments on the forum, its as if, Toral was responsible in Pratyusha getting the sack. I was sad that Pratyusha was replaced too. I feel Toral will take a whole lot of time (?) to ever match up to Pratyusha, if at all; but that does not mean I channel my sadness that P is gone by hating on Toral. JMO.Anyways, getting back to topic...agree with you Suchi! Kudos to the CVs once again!
I would just like to say that ppl criticize Toral bcoz they loved Anandi and AnSh.They loved a place known as the AnSh AT.It was really sad the way things shaped up on the very first day of the news of replacement.Ppl who were still trying to digest the news were ordered "not to flood the AT with their tears"🤢...on the very first day it was said that its good now anandis sarees wud fit better.To add to it ppl were shown the way to a separate thread and not to spoil the mood of the AT.And mind u all this happened on the first day of the news breaking itself.On the first epi some ppl were going gaga over the new actress as if P never existed.She was accused of ditching BV.statements like "jis thali mein khate hain usmein ched krte hain" were made.the anger the hatred u see on this forum is not just abt replacement...its abt a new actress spoiling a couple...its abt ppl raving falsely abt an incompetent actress just 2 prove their point...its abt pratyusha being treated by ppl as if she never existed...its abt being made to feel that if u cnt praise toral u cant enter the ansh at irrespective of how good friendship was there...its abt some new ppl coming and adding oil to fire...ppl who didnt hv the damn audacity to enter our AT when ansh flourished...its abt broken frnships and trusts,ITS JUST NOT ABOUT A REPLACEMENT!!And together this anger is expressed on channel(for not giving us a chance to prepare ourselves for the sudden change) and on Toral(for spoiling Anandi whom we loved dearly)

There was one thing i always wanted to post on this forum. Psychology is my hobby so I was trying to analyse all those people who were defending indefensible and got to the next conclusion:
Toral is bad everybody knows it,even the channel PH and the director knows it.Thats why they have reduced her screen space. The story has shifted to jagya and will continue to be so...AnSh footage will reduce and they may dissapear like sugna shyam someday. Even the so called supporters of toral know she is bad and will never improve but wont accept it openly for various reasons.Now ppl who r pretending to like her are of three types:
1 story lover, Human rights supporters or they r simply BV fans who dont give a damn about actors.
2 Sid fans who r watching the show because of Sid.They dont care abt chemistry or acting as long as they can drool over sid on screen.
3 HSF ( i like to call them horny Sid fans) they r Sid fans who hated prats coz she suits him best.They have awesome off screen chemistry too.This made them jealous of Pratz.Now tht she is gone and toral is upto no good they r happy coz they think they might become Mrs Shukla (facepalm,eyerolling,facepalm again)
It is not my intention to put now each member in one of the category and I dont want to bash anyone (there is nothing bad in being fan or HSF) .But the fact is that genuine Tandi fans do not exist .If that was the case then her AT would not havw died after 7 pages.
Oh and you should not bother to report me, coz right after posting this i am gonna report myself. Thanks😆😆

Muku: I did not say you were talking about me and didn't even take it as directed towards me. I know you are frank and you will let me know if I say something that hurts you.. I wrote in general that you are in agreement with the accusations the AT has got.
