I'd typed a long reply in a anchals posts with regards to this too
I've realized a few things lately...😕
1) it would be futile of them to give us all information before hand on upcoming tracks...fir tho saare log aise hi phone karke aage ke tracks ke baare mein poochthe rahenge 😕
2) tracks and scripts are not decided by the Zee personnel, but by the creatives...ZEE can influence or change the track if the TRPs are dropping or if TRPs have shot up tremendously...but now with TRPs remaining stable and good, all they can do is pass on information to the creatives😕
3) Ekta (and my guess is her director shantaram) are both very head-strong people...woh khud ki alaawaa kisi aur ki nahi sunti
4) the tracks are not decided by one person alone, it's a team effort and minor changes are made on an hourly basis (not even daily) depending on feedback from viewers, TRPs etc...so, it could be that the ZEE guy was actually telling us the truth...and changes were made in the past couple of days...
I think we all possibly got a bit overexcited when they promised us good-ish news in the beginning...agar phone calls se hi sab kuch ho jaanaa thaa, then most serials would be running on fan demands and not general viewership demand...
You know in my last call to him, he wasn't very forthcoming (like the first time) he'd said that just like we were calling and giving him news about not liking Benazir, they were getting positive feedback about it too...
Ab Bol, iskaa kyaa Karen...😆
So yes, we've been taken for a ride...but a large part of it has also been circumstantial and not deliberate me thinks...
Just my opinion...not intending to offend sentiments of anyone by this 😳
