First I heard that Ishana was to be a revenge wanting character but then was changed to a con girl without much development. Of course Gul had to show Ishana one way or the other because she's a part of the show as well but the track was not a bit interesting and very illogical that's why most were unhappy with it. And after reading that article it is so clear that Gul is saying that because of the haphazard way Ishana's character was written, the on screen presence didn't work and that caused led trps, when the hell did she say that showing vrushika got them led trps?
She is blaming herself and the CV's for the poorly written character, and she praised vrushika didn't she? Why some people aren't understanding that out is about the character and not the actor.
And yes there were negative comments from some Vrushika fans that Gul had to deal with, now what you want her to stay quite all the time? She had to take a stand. What's the problem that she mentioned that she is facing negativity? Can't she complain?
People aren't understanding this simple thing that Gul never blamed Vrushika for less trps and she said na that she is working on the IshKara track, trying to give them a proper story?!
So for the time being Vrushika had to wait so that Gul can give her character a nice shade and a good story.
