Niceness and happy scenes don't get continuous TRP. Suffering, shocking twists, third angle, toxicity makes audience curious and want to watch.
When Anuj and Anu were happy TRP almost dropped below 3. Once Pakhi did drama and now Toshu, it's increased to 3+. Though Anuj's family is also kinda toxic, they are not enof to take the show forward, they need Baa, Vanraj, Toshu, Pakhi and Kinkal's mom. Even though Anu says maika, who is she kidding? It's x-sasural only. Just like Sai ka x sasural hain, will never be maiyka.
Same with Imlie, progressive ML got them nothing and they are eventually butchering Aryan hoping it will bring back old glory, while they cast for new leads and family after generation leap. Also Gul didn't set up new ML family as well as Tripathis who became maiyka and phased out, which was a mistake. Once old family was out, the new one couldn't hold show on their own as they had no side story to tell.
Same with when Ananth died and his family became maiyka for Gehna and Surya was horrible to her. Luckily there were no kids involved. Ananth was such a good guy compared to Surya. Also when the time slot changed, TRP dropped, but somehow I felt they were doing better than Banni (which is horrible show, should end soon, though the Vamp's backstory and motivation is good).
YrKKh was top 3 when they had marriage triangle and eventually dropped when abhira was nicely set. One thing I love about the show is they have nice subplots for other characters and FL is not poor and got family support. She is a bit stupid but that is expected of SP FL. I loved papa Birla and Neil background story.
YhC is probably one show which has same plot since beginning and doing awesome despite not having a proper family and a nice MIL.
