Even when the male lead was there for every single episode over the last 2 months the TRP's were still abysmal so let us stop this blame game please and hinging the success of the show on the appearance or absence of one cast member. Again it is not like this show was No1 before or rocking the TRP charts and then plunged to this nadir. What is hurting this serial is a lack of credible storyline the over dependence on the charisma of the 2 main leads and no interesting sub plots to keep the viewers hooked. The one's who have the TRP clout watch the serials for a credible story line tight scripting and situations that resonate with their lives. They are not easily swayed by the cult of personalities or go gaga over romantic moments and Rabbe Ve's only. They want something with a little bit of bite to it which sadly this serial lacks. Bubbly did not work nor did that "jocular" attempt of suicide to bring out the truth ( I wonder who came up with that bright idea- truly astounding)
I for one was very much taken in by the idea of love as defined in this serial and it has done wonders for my romance quotient but frankly it is now akin to meeting a sexy guy- first you are bowled over by his charm and hotness and cannot seem to get enough then when the initial novelty wears off you start looking for some substance between the ears to keep you interested and worth the effort.
IPKKND hopefully should have a solid tale to tell without the dependence on the 2 leads all the time to move the show forward for that is the hallmark of any chart topping serial- the ability to keep viewers hooked even without the main protagonists to be there in every single frame of the episode
Oyster very true👏 They could have worked on the Shyam Anjali track which would have brought in back some of the former viewers as well as fresh ones. Alas another lost opportunity
