I don't know why they are intent on killing their own creation. I can only think that they used this show to get entry into SP and now that they might have other shows lined up on SP, they don't care. This IPL excuse is lame. It is not a surprise event. It required the PH to have forthought and planning.
I find their treatment of their own product extremely unprofessional. Do they have pride in their product or not to let it flounder like this? If the PH does not care for their product, don't come out and say viewers should care. Don't take us for granted. The PH is trying to coast on the fumes of their overtired and overworked jodi - SaRun - and it is a total injustice to their efforts and all the accolades that their acting brought to the show to have it fall like this.
I am still hopeful, but in all honesty - a direction in the story is missing and that is not going to garner new viewers. The misunderstanding has been stretched into incredulity and the OTT is killing the feel of the "intense love story". I will watch until Barun is there, but it is getting harder.
