They know their creations the best. It is Anandi's story . Already Writers /directors compromised enough with their story and in that process Anandi and Shiv's story has suffered.
Which could have been a wonderful jodi of Krishna Arjun (the idol given by the CM) in the form of Collector Shivraj Shekhar and Sarpanch Anandi working /fighting for the injustice in the society, pitting against each other for their professional differences yet maintaining a perfect personal relationship reduced to a family drama to give stoy for every one an we had to tolerate many nonsense. But just because the writers/directors are genius that was was watchable..
Anyways 8 years is a too long time for a show to run. definitely story will get exhausted. Still there was a touch of those creators and their creation Anandi.
They could run with a steady TRP till date so better instead of compromising any more on Anandi they quit and with them they end her story and start a new show.
But looks like channel/producers know very well what gives them the business, the brand Anandi and they are trying hard to keep it.
But unless creators are there channel, producers cant do any justice to the character Anandi. So better they end her character on a happy note
