ZEE and Ekta think that as long as they hold on to the golden pair of Rajat and Paridhi, losses in ratings can be recouped. That is why the ZEE wallas began hyperventilating when they heard of the SONY performance of our beloved leads.
Who knows, maybe they are right about the ratings, but it hell is unethical. Rajat and Paridhi have worked hard for one and a half years to establish the characters of Jodha and Akbar. Now a newcomer will just walk in and take over all their glory. Ekta and team did not even have the decency to shut Jodha Akbar down and start a new show about her beloved Salim Anarkali. Instead she is hijacking Jodha and Akbar's name to push own agenda.
Ekta thinks there are no options, but options always crop up. I have one right now. I know Rajat has been remarkable as Akbar but on an off chance I was watching the show on SONY where Akbar plays a villain and I was impressed. If you get a chance watch Ep 329 on youtube. The Akbar in this episode was dashing and royalty personified. He was just right. Trust me, just give this episode a try.
Ekta thinks there are no options, but there are always options.
