No more hopes for the proper ending for Shivika. I have already not watched 1 week episodes, I did by for once feel as if I had missed my routine. The latest episodes have successful deaddicted me from IB dose. I started watching a series regularly after a span of 8 years! This is the fate. So be it! Waise bhi, I'm not a TRP contributor, hence does not matter at all!
One thing is for sure. @10, if the star plus has decided to launch a revamp of same IB, there is no guarantee of the loyal IB fans to stick to it. They will watch IB, if they are going to, only online. Not even hot star!
Jiyo providing free data for hotstar- ppl use hotstar to watch the regional shows, not Hindi shows. We, a small bunch of hormonal teenagers, eve after becoming a Mother of one or two, juggling between work and family follow the Hindi shows on hotstar!!!
Two things bother me:
1. Nitikaji got a very nice farewell from IB, with proper closure and sending off. I appreciate that. But, Doesn't other characters and actors deserve that? Complete na-insaafi. I know I am not the deciding authority and no money no honey' things, etc. But as far as the ITV history goes, much loved character are always given a happy ending. Just like other things, IB gonna create a trend to treat the much loved characters as trash! We had always expected each arc, how so ever it is woven to give a happy ending, but now 🤬
2. RU shivaay used to breath- "Shivaay Singh Oberoi ki Jaan itni aasani se nahin jaayegi and now *hitting against wall*
But for sure, I'm not willing to give any more chance to the makers and creatives and channel. IB is sort of farewell to ITV for me.
Thank you guys!!!!
I knew from the time leap news is out, Shivika would be killed...no doubt...thats necessary for the story of the new generation and Shivaansh to move forward...otherwise I dont see the need for generation leap... Makers could have closed IB SS1 with happy ending to all couples and then started a new season...with new/existing actors and fresh story line...
But I didn't think they would actually show the death sequence of Shivika...but from the onsetdiaries its clear that Shivika are going to be killed...
IB TRP has never been stable from the time of merger...so I can never say that IB has loyal TRP viewership like the other TRP shows...so leap works or not we will never know...
IB story has never been like TRP shows...the tracks start and close too fast for the TRP audience...with redux they did try the usual TRP tracks, but that also never worked...I feel strongly that our writers cannot write the TRP stuff in a normal TRP mode for that TRP aunties to get glued to TV...
but IB has been very lucky...from past 1 and 1/2 year we have been hearing off air news and still IB is going strong and now channel giving a go head for leap... but i have always assumed that a larger part of credit always was bcoz of Shivika and the popularity Shivika enjoyed not only on star but also on rival channels...and have won countless number of awards for a TV show which is not a TRP topper...
but looks like I am wrong after star/PH decided for leap...
