well obviously dmg's story was bad last year this time. because shilpa was leaving.so they did not want to proceed with armaan and riddhima's story with an actress who was leaving the show. if that had not happened, we would not have seen weird and senseless episodes that we saw last year.
but my point is, whether shilpa left or not, or whether its sukirti or jennifer playing riddhima is not the big matter. a good story can draw anybody in and keep the interest alive. dmg is not having the trp it had in aug 07 to march 08 because the freshness in the show is no longer there. even if shilpa was there in the show now, the trp would still be the same. no show can hold the same interest and freshness for years. it happened to dmg, and give it a little time, it will definitely happen to mjht.
yess iagreed..its just dmatter oftime n even if kash wudhave been dere d trps wudhave benn same....
