As I've said before I'm not. Bashing anyone so please people calm down I just don't understand how dbo had come and taken over the show if their love story was so interesting then shouldn't it have all merged into dbo, I mean the name would've made more sense for the three brother show but yet it still remained ishqbaaz because that's the show that worked better.
Secondly that's my opinion as a shivika fan and I am entitled to have an opinion
Thirdly if the makers and fans believe that it can work without shivika then maybe us shivika fans should let them try if the results aren't as expected then please don't come crying to us
Both IB and DBO are merged into one show and that's the reason it has got a one hour time slot. If DBO had went off-air and IB had remained a half an hour show then we could have said that DBO had merged into IB, but here it's the share of 50-50.
Also the reason the name Ishqbaaz is there is because it's the PARENT show and DBO was the spin-off of IB.
And IB was always meant to be about OBros and NOT ONLY Shivika.
When Ishqbaaz was started, it was supposed to show the love story of all three brothers, but makers were only showing one couple which was NOT right. Only when DBO happened, IB 'officially' became a Shivika show. But now it's again about all three brothers and their love interests.
@bold, I think fans have a misunderstanding that a couple can bring TRP. TRP aunties aren't obsessed with Shivika or Rikara or whatever like the online folks. They watch a show for story and drama, no matter which couple provides it.
