KWK has allegedly hired a younger queer writer because they were out of touch the last season.
I think this is why (despite the Sara and Ananya episode being "boring") there were no mishaps like Sara and Janhvi or Ananya and Vijay last season. We will see how Kareena and Alia have done.
However this is also why Deepika - Ranveer's episode got so much flack because the ideals of the young writer and the KWK group are not the moral values of everyone else. Personally I didn't see anything wrong with what Deepika and Ranveer said because it's an equal "open" partnership - it's not a Ranbir - Alia fawning situation. Nevertheless, it's pretty clear that there's a clear disconnect between the young/old.
KJO did not want to do this season. He was very unhappy about the last season and he's doing this one for the hotstar contract. Since this season is going down so badly, I wonder if it'll be the last for a while? KJO is not on great health terms, and he is inviting veteran actresses to the show (like Neetu and Zeenat) just like the first shows used to be.
This also may be why Orry is gaining so much fame. Trust me, he knew the reddit stuff would blow up and dgaf - but this gives him the ability to possibly push something like a new show (so KWK for younger kids).
