The latter is true. They are doing it because they know people love sairat and are attached to the show and toxicity trp de rahi hai inko. The audience needs to understand.
Also , I fan believe only this part that Pl ko significant rakhne ke liye surrogacy laya gaya because she is married to the male lead. I dislike aish from day 1 but ig she doesn't have so much power. She is not even the leading ladies yaar. Star plus ki face is ayesha ❤️ and honestly they get so much negative hype that it works in their favour. People should stop giving them attention because see ultimately the more you speak about them the more they have a upper hand. Also aish is an insecure weird creature tbh and she will be forgotten after this show because she doesn't has the poise or acting chops the way Ayesha has.
Also , NB and his bacha cannot influence the script kyuki itni unti aukat nai. Simple. They aren't the stars of ITV. Neil bhatt got this opportunity after 13 years and won't get any further because of his behaviour but then he can't influence the script.
The only person to be blamed is mr vankar. The dumbest CD
