Navin problem is gulneet donno how to handle any track properly... After every leap in QH they messed up the story more...

Separation of shivika is something they can't dream... Vanvas wud b awesome track if they can handle it well but knowing gulneet they don't hv a tech capability to delivery good tracks... Not shocked IB sunk beyond top 20... With no... I mean absolutely no promotion of shivika marriage... N with shivika, ruvya, rikara... Last week if trps hv crashed its coz ppl r sick of drag n event less things in the show... Gulneet hv a habit of dragging n dragging n dragging... So post leap also they may not get trps...

I hv a feeling that shivika baby is coming too... Narbhi's spoof video may not be as much of a spoof shivika post separation from family... N annika trying to bridge gap between his family n him... Shivika r going to be with a 3-4 yr old child...

Leaps are introduced when the story runs out of potential tracks... but here that is not the case... Many interesting tracks like sahil's custody, bandari bua, mahi and prinku were forcibly killed. Even after the marriage, shivika together have several challenges to deal with- fixing om's marriage, rudra's love story,prinku and business,... the story can survive at least sensibly for a year if these tracks are properly worked on... but Gul wants to give a five year leap.. for what? What can she show after five year leap that she cannot now? Even after five years, like any other serial the charecters dont age, dadi will be alive, shivika will have/not have kids, if they have, they will not be shown just like prinku and sahil because we are only interested in shivika running behind each other... what a waste of talent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like your speculations and it makes me think that maybe the leap won't be as bad as everyone predicts. It may just be the added push that the show needs.. the new lease of life.

I feel it has potential and I am willing to give it a chance. Lets wait and watch what the makers have in store.

These are the same makers that gave us Ishqbaaz so I do not think that they lack creativity. Sometimes tracks are a hit or miss. Sometimes they don't work out as planned. It's like any job or business.. you take a decision which you think will work and it doesn't such is life but you cannot sit back and say now I will not take any more risks.

The makers have a story to tell and they know how best to work on their characters so I am willing to give it a shot.

Ishqbaaz is now their sole focus since IPK3 went off air. We as an audience just watch the show but for the people involved its their livelihood. Their homes run because of the show so why do us viewers think that they wouldn't want what is best for the show.

No offence to anyone but this is just a view point from another perspective.

I am seriously on board this leap track if they execute it with perfection because your post gives me hope of an amazing story ahead. also now that the PH is completely focussing on this single show i do havw hopes that they can recreate the initial days magic.

A five year leap doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Sorry. Gul is no Ekta, who is the master of leaps and drama, and I doubt our cvs will be able to handle it. Ekta can take 20 year leaps, replace actors, come up with bizarre twists and still keep the show on top or bring it back to the top if it was sinking. I heard Gul messed up one of her other shows with leaps. The USP of Gul's shows are romance and for this show she succeeded in showing a great bond between the brothers but she still struggles with creating drama and suspense. The romance and Obros bonding are the only things she has going for the show. IB is struggling with TRPs because she failed to give it the attention it deserved and what's keeping it afloat at least in terms of online popularity is the massive fan base who are sticking to it despite everything.

Moreover a five year leap would mean babies. I doubt she'd able to handle things like romance between the three couples, the raaz and family drama if they add babies into the mix too and I honestly don't want to see babies on IB. We have two married couples on the show and lots of young actors don't want to play parents in the early stages of their career. Most of our leads have only done 2-3 shows as leads. What if NM, SC, KJ or SP want to quit because they don't want to play parents? Are we willing to see any of the Obros or Obahus go?...because that is all we have going.

A 5 year is a terrible idea!! Leaps in Indian shows only means 2 things,

1. Current story line is not working as TRP is decreasing. A new storyline is required to bring in some freshness. It's like a final try to revive a sinking ship

2. No story or little story left. (Which is not the issue LOL)

In IB they have been showing filler tracks for like what 1-2 months. Unheard rituals. Om Gauri dangal adventure. Sultan or sultana track.

But Of course then in Rikaras case Gauri started taking English classes as she felt below him which is a interesting track but as for now she has only attended 2 classes I believe and then she went to the village (again a filler track).

With Ruvya the age difference (can't help but to wonder of it wasn't obvious from the beginning that she was older but whatever). In their case Rudra is immatured and irresponsible which is a problem as bhavya is not. They are two different people who are attracted to each other. Yet again interesting but bhavya asked those valid questions some epis back so Rudras story is yet to start.

In Shivikas case they are getting married which started off yesterday.

My point is that they have just been dragging and added filler tracks. There havn't been a proper track. Therefore they can't say IB is not working as there is so much which is left hanging. To many unfinished tracks. LIKE LITERALLY.

I for one would love to watch shivika after marriage. The little moments between them. Now that everything is fine, Will annika start working again? Shivaay taking Annika to some business party and ECT.

Whats going through pinkys head? What was in that painting - how is pinky going to use Svetlana? Obviously she wants something in return. Who was Pinky talking to secretly?

Obviously then there's svetlanas revenge. She is still mystery. Is she still tias sister who wants avenge her father's death? Super confused!

The raaz that dadi, shakti and pinky hiding - does tej and jaanvi know? How will that only affect shivika and not the other jodis? Is this the same raaz from the beginning episode or some other raaz.

The sister track.

What happened to priveer? Not that I care but atleast give them a end. And kamini what the hell was her problem with the oberois?

Then there is Roop and who killed gayatri?

As you see they havnt really tried solving anything. Usually the climax brings trp - when the villains are exposed. Here they just start something interesting and leaves it hanging. But then there are those filler tracks which they do finish up. I mean I don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Anyhow a leap of 5 years just ruins the journey. Shivika atleast had 370 epis and we have seen it all between them, the ups and the downs. But in Om and Gauris case a Leap would mean like a hole in their journey like a missing part. And Ruvya - yet to like them - but as you said their last scene felt like final but she raised some valid points which can be the beginning towards a more grown and matured Rudra and I would love to watch that. I don't want to watch a scene or 2 were Rudra is shown stepping up and then bang a Leap and he is matured and responsible.

Also I didnt like the last leap! It was so unnessesary. They were like in the same state. Annika jobless but in Zara clothes, Shivaay broken (in a don't care state but a Leap was not necessary), Om in coma Gauris trying to save him. He wakes up misunderstandings continues. (Why did svetlana help Gauri? Out of kindness? #rollingmyeyes) Don't remember Ruvya sorry.

Anyhow my point is they are not good with leaps. I personally feel it would have been better if they just continued the story instead of a leap of 3 months. I would have enjoyed watching Shivaay distancing from his family apart from his brothers. Shivaay trying to make annikas life difficult ( IF it was he who was stoping her from getting jobs) Pinkys dilemma on one side there is her hate for Annika and on the other her love for her son. For OmRu there is their love for his brother and on the other their promise to their bhabi. And ECT.

Anyhow i'm against the leap. I really hope that it's not true!!

Lovely predictions!

I really like what you wrote about Om. If this happens, Ishaana's words will come back to bite him in the face. Ek din aap bhi apne baap jaise ban jayenge aur uss din you'll remember me! I so hope he remembers her saying.

About Rudra, yes, he'll be more mature. But I don't really know what is going on with Bhavya. Did she marry that man? I guess she did because there was a picture of her on Instagram with sindoor on and given the circumstances nowadays, I don't think RuVya will get married anytime soon. So after the leap, will she divorce her husband? Will he die? Will Rudra marry a divorcee/widow who is a few years elder to him? If he does, wow, that's some character change!! And I would really appreciate that, even though I don't really like Bhavya.

PS. Will people bash me if I say I want Soumya back? 😭

I so wish this comes true. I would love that.

Also I miss Soumya too even though I like Ruvya also. but then it could be because I share my name with her.😆

5 yr leap is too much for a show like IB😆

i agree with most of your points, it's sad that while trying to save one show, they completely put their other show at stake, and now our shows needs to be saved too... and hence such drama and twists being given, twists which were unfortunately brought too quickly in space of a few days actually

and sorry i have no trust in Harneet's capacity to deliver a good story at all now, she can only complain on twitter and so on... but she has reached her limits where IB is concerned now

why i feel a leap of 5yrs is too much, because 5yrs will make SSO almost close to 40😆, budha ho jaayega😆

anyway jokes apart leap of 5yrs is too much, 5yrs one person can change her life completely😊

and i seriously dont want a 5yrs lead with Shivika and kids after that 5yrs, with a broken OmRu also on the other side

i personally havent connected with Bhavya at all, and the amount they destroyed Ru lately to justify Bhavya as right and mature didnt help at all, besides in 5yrs Bhavya may already be a married person for all we know

i think the CVs can give a good story without showing a leap so soon, they do have tracks, if only they could work their brains a bit more.

my final reason for rejecting a leap of 5yrs is that once this leap is done the CVs wont have anything, a leap is a big risk for a show which hasnt even reached its climax yet...

leaps, unless part of a track, are known as dragging plots generally used to drag a show more

a leap of a few months is acceptable but 5yrs i doubt

as for trp viewers, well we all know trp viewers in case of IB are very niche audience and they can drop the show whenever they want
