The truth is if a show is high on TRP, the PH & channel will listen to actors.. For eg. KKB.. ekta wanted a leap but actors didn't want it now, so the channel & ph decided to go with another track..
But if the show is in low TRP category the channel don't give a damn about actors quitting or getting replace.. eg. KSG, Drashti, Siddhant etc etc.. Again with the jackpot they got with ETR leap & Drashti quitting they became over confident😆
Now we can't assume the backstory of what happened b/w channel, PH and Nia.. U never know what story or character PH want to give her and even if leap was cancelled whether Nia wanted to continue.. I don't have an issue with leap if they gave Nia a young role.
Whatever it is we will never know b'cos Ashvini & Sagar meenakshi will never give their version of story.. So, its better to leave it at that.. What I understand is its Channels & PH last ditch effort to save the show & will shut the show in 2- 3 months if TRP don't improve.. I By Oct or Nov Ravi movie shooting start and he , producers will decide to end the show on mutual agreement if TRP is still low..
I think new season may be a flop unless they have brought in a good writer.. But u never know recently leaps in many shows like YHM, YRKKH, Udaan, ETR etc have been successful.. But its story which is the hero.. otherwise how much ever popular actor is there it won't be of use..🥱
