It is merely an assumption on viewers' behalf, but the thing is...it feels quite true. Coz of the way the story is unfolding. And I am not talking about how Sai's char. deserves better, or how Ayesha isn't given nearly as much attention as she should get being the female lead, but rather I am talking about the things that would benefit the makers only.
There are so many tracks that might be slightly anti-bhatt-couple but would bring much much more trp for them. The current and the tracks they went through previously didn't bring them any particular losses but still, there were so many other things that they could have done, things that were waving right infront of their eyes, that would have made this show even more popular than it already is, yet they didn't go with them. And when we look for the reason...the only reason that comes in our mind is that the other plot would not have been entirely Pakhi-friendly. Not Virat, but exclusively Pakhi-friendly. In fact, at this point, I am not even sure if they are biased towards bhatt couple, or just towards a certain actress. Coz all their plots, all their choices, only ever benefit Pakhi's char.
From the very beginning, when they didn't even dreamt of this plot and were solely following KD, when Pakhi's char was clearly the villain, even then everyone, and LITERALLY everyone used to say how Pakhi's character was grey and not black. In fact, Aish was so sure about it, that sometimes her answers in defence of her character felt borderline arrogant. (This is not a hate towards the actress, but completely my feelings at what I, as a viewer and a fan of the show, felt whenever she answered our frequently asked questions)
That much surety, not just by her but by the entire staff, about how clearly a villain is actually good, felt weird and suspicious even back then, and now, not only did the makers deviated from the original script when they were following it to a fault before, but even went as far as making all her crimes disappear, made all the characters like her, even ruined their own male lead in the eyes of viewer, all these just to give more SS to Pakhi's char.
This all looks way too suspicious to be ignored.
