Yes dear got your point, agreed but no matter what, I watched KB Tanu's time too lol and yes fans were considering that the leap won't work but it surprised everyone now and I always knew if the story is interesting TRP will work. See, I was right! As yes it's not like every shows gen leap works, KKB one works in recent times.
The yeh hai mohabbatein gen leap worked and kept the high ratings sustained but this past year the show has become so boring that even the ratings show that YHM is on it's last leg and on it's way out in perhaps a year time or less. It depends really. What I find is usually the new gen leaps of ekta usually work, and the ones that work are the ones full of the right amount of high octane drama to tv audiences taste, but rarely have I seen new gen leaps fail in terms of ratings for ekta kapoor. The only new gen leap that bored me in a balaji serial was bade achche lagte hain, mainly because of ram-priya's daughter pihu's horrid daughter the leap was boring. Like pihu didn't even do evil things like rhea does, yet pihu in contrast was still far more nasty and shockingly horrid of a personality in my opinion. The actress was still better than the one playing rhea imo.
Outside of ekta kapoor the only other show of recent times in the past two years where a generation leap worked for a show was naamkarann where the ratings were incredibly low and the show was heavily criticised for its treatment of a child up until the leap that truly brought new life to the show and got it popularity. Other than that, most of the times generation leaps where they show the lead's adult children or young child lead growing into adulthood usually have worked. Only certain shows failed to garner ratings even with a gen leap, and those were usually the ones that already had below average ratings or didn't grab viewer's attention since the start. Honestly ekta manages to usually get it right in terms of holding viewer's attention, so I wasn't shocked that this leap worked.
For me I never watched or liked the show, and started watching briefly just for kiara-abhi's bonding, but then got bored an stopped, but started rewatching along side my mother after this new leap.
