I actually think that w/ a new PH, the show can now go in a new direction completely, and can shed the old pretense of being about DV.

Hm, it already did shed its old pretense a long time ago, but more officially with the "all new beginning" promo. I don't think that a new PH can salvage the show. Had it been any other show that didn't raise the issue of domestic violence, then yeah, the makeover might work.

But SB? pretended to be a voice of victims for ten months. It hit a certain target group; one that started falling away, especially post leap.

If they want to hit a new target audience with a new direction completely, then they need to change the name of the show as well as the name and history of the characters. Because as people watch, they still relate the show to abuse and vicimhood and morals and so on.

In my opinion, the creatives as well as the channel failed the show, its characters, and the actors. More so, they failed victims of abuse. Somehow that's a lot worse.

Thanks for wonderful update.

As long as the old PH was there, people were justified in haranguing them over letting down victims of DV. But now that you have a new PH in that was never committed to such an agenda, they owe nothing to DV victims or viewers. Actually, had UTV after Viraj's first arrest made a PSA and stated that from that point on, the show is no longer about DV, that would have been better. Suggested tracks, be it either Jhanvi's recovery or Viraj's treatment would have done squat to sustain any interest.

The name of the show is a freaking joke! It seemed to come alive the day Sia gave her bhashan about saubhagyavati & all that, but after that tirade against not Viraj but marriage, it's just hilarious to see her putting so much value on her precious maang being filled. But I can remember one serial - BAVD on Imagine TV - where the PH changed, they decided to do a leap and a bulk of the characters left, so they had just a couple of new ones, the lead and continued w/ it for a while. In this case too, a new PH may take the decision to, say, off Viraj altogether, resume Raghav-Sia and then see if new characters can be introduced to make the plot interesting again - for a new demographic of course. That would give it a very different flavor, and a whole new direction.

Incidentally, anyone know what's the name of the new PH?

Only PH has been change. I saw same names for Creative team, writers in credits so I do not think story will change. I think only set of this show got change.

Most probably, yeah. I wonder why Vikas Seth would take up this show as his first project when his PH is all new. Shaky investment, I'd say. The TRPs weren't exactly skyrocketing the last time they were updated.

gosh, d gun nd RAGHAV, makes a deadly combo...

Thanks for sharing ...they completely dragged entire crap only to decide whether they need to kill viraj to rescue krish 😡 starting wid sia have no words to say how disgusting she was yest 🤢 (particularly her patni dharm and stuff 😕) and i can't stand her at all 🥱 gayatri she seems to bring her "sachayi and principles" only when she feels like using it 🤣 that too for selected things 😆 from all this artificial crap felt only the part where viraj was pretending to be dead was real ...kvb rocked ..for a moment he made us believe that he was dead ...loved his painting on the wall and it is viraj who still makes me follow this dumb show ...reg precap good to see tashu doing something different 😆 it somehow got a touch of originality she used to have in her character before ...

Yeah, agreed on the title of the show part. It was moments like the one where she flipped out in front of everyone that made me think that the show would finally get back on track. Fooled me once. Fooled me twice. I remember writing in the episode feedback that she'd blamed society more for what V had done rather than held V responsible as a man who'd chosen to do her wrong. Which kind of bugged the hell out of me.
