It's clear today that all of these major bloopers and ill sequenced scenes are solely due to the pressure on creatives to get more TRPs. Some examples why I think so:
1. Writers HAD a storyline for the Naveen track. Albeit one where Prerna was to be an abala nari and Naveen was her open air molester with Anurag acting the savior. But within a week, it was clear viewers are not impressed by the abala Prerna (who has such a loving family that she cannot share Mohini's blackmail with them. Duh!). So they changed track added few dialogues like the loan attempt and how she once hit an eve teaser. Also Jaan tapkaoed out of nowhere to reduce the creepiness of Naveen. But the damage was already done. Viewers were put off knowing Ekta and her previous kasautiis. THEY KNEW THERE IS NOTHING NEW this time.
2. Hence, Ekta's pining for TRPs on Twitter and introducing Hina as Kom. Komo promo and entry during Naveen track was urgently shot and aired to bring a TRP boost. Which it did.
3. Unfortunately Ms. Hina was probably committed to some other project at that time. Not her fault. She was probably to be brought only after Naveen track ended. So everyone got only a glimpse of her nikaas and then she vanished.
4. Luckily and unexpectedly (for Ekta, her year 2000 mind only thinks overly made up female vamps are the only source of entertainment) Anupre and Anu-Naveen was enjoyed by all and the TRPs as well as audience appreciation were highest during unraveling of Naveen. Kudos to Naveen actor for that! That's why Pre-Nav wedding was dragged like anything. Atleast until Ms. Hina was free to come back to continue the TRP trend.
5. Again, I don't know what story they had in mind for Komo (I'm guessing it was that she would woo Anu because Naveen had introduced her as a prospective bride for Anu), but it was definitely not what they are showing now. Something happened (maybe because Anurag's character was made so uniquely strong during Naveen track that AnuKom looked ridiculously spineless and so kzk1), so they had to entirely change Komo's modus operandi in the story. Enter useless Mishka, Ronit, completely out of character Shivani suicide, Anu flip flops.
6. The writers simply could not handle all these extra characters that too at such short notice and probably resorted to praying to God that viewers don't notice inconsistencies (if it was 2000 nobody would, but we're 2019!).
In short, stuck in the tussle between Ekta's bhookh for TRP and audience approval (mind both are somewhat different yet connected in today's age of social media and instant feedback) the writers, director are scurrying here and there dishing out half baked episodes like today's.
Also, I think even when Ekta said this season would be different she did not mean so. Because they STARTED with a similar story. I have noticed this with Ekta's shows, how they like to somehow stick to a proven formula once they have found that it's a hit. But kzk1 was a hit with its regressive storyline in year 2000. Expecting the same kind of story to work now is laughable.
So, end of long rant. This is a request to makers (if they read, that is) to stop referencing the old kzk1 and sit back and write a new story and cut back on few characters if they can't handle their stories (Mishka, Ronit, either Komo/Chaubey). Let TRPs fall for a couple of weeks if it has to (ignore Ms. Ekta's TRP bhookh if you truly want kzk2 to be iconic and not remembered for its bloopers). I'm sure the makers are from this generation and given a free reign will be able to come up with a modern sensible story with some drama thrown in. Hoping for the best for everyone involved.
