Why sell him so forcefully, when its apparent to one n all, he has no takers! I'm sure his mother turned insane, the minute he was born!

Is there a single viewer out there remotely interested in Sultan's insane mom, his non-existent dad or anyone else in their khandaan? Seriously,what are the CVs smoking?

If Sultan's story continues,this serial is done for.

This might be the last-ditch effort to create some kind of a buzz around Sultan. Otherwise, I can't see how they can avoid the inevitable, and ditch him (i.e., send him on a "business trip" to Dubai, never to be heard from again. Its been done before - think Malik and Roma on their outdoor shoots.)

Phase I story is done for.

Consider post wedding story as Season 2.

They need something to keep the soap running...

Did you all see how DD was making haste with shoot because of alternate JDJ shoots in the on location videos. Did you see the leads yawns. They must be sleep deprived. It must be really stressing for DD with back pain and juggling between two shows with shooting and dance practicing. So any alternate story is giving the leads some respite. We need to understand that much and I am sure even PH knows they have no choice but to keep Sultan. Its business at the end of day. We cannot like all acts of a circus. Some like trapeze, but they have to wait until the act comes up...sit through Clown act, ring act, death daring motor cycle act etc...

Good point, Shri. These Mon-Sat episodes must be really draining on the leads, and they do need a buffer. The only thing is - the thought of 3 months of torture...Hoping that Zarina Wahab and Kannan Arunachalam make it bearable.

Agree, creatives are desperately trying to get the audience, particulraly Rishbala fans to accept Sultan, hence create his sob story, vindicate his forthcoming actions, keep him golden. Newsflash..NOT HAPPENING CVs. Undermine the intelligence of the audience at your own peril.

What I don't understand is why spoil the tone they have set for the Rishbala wedding, with Sultan's past drama, when people can't appreciate him in the present! At least let the wedding n confrontation be Sultan free, no they have to throw him in our faces even then! Its having reverse effect, instead of being accepted, he's being rejected by more n more viewers, Rishbala fans or not! Why spoil the highlight of the show? Keep the sides in the sideline for God's sake!

I don't have any problem in watching Sultan but they are putting me off just because they are trying to connect Sultan with Madhu in some or other way.

We understand that leads are working very hard and needs some time to rest. Also DD is there in JDJ which is stressing her further. She must be very much tired with this busiest schedule. And to give some time to leads they are showing Sultan n family.

Actually its all creatives fault..like other TV soaps they should have developed parallal tracks from starting of the show itself. They could have accomodated Trishna n her struggle in films, Trishna's love track..or even they could have developed Kukkuji's n Sikky's track. But they focussed entirerly on RishBala and sideline all other characters which is impacting them now...and result of which we have to digest Sultan n family.

Just like everyone else said, introduction of other tracks are necessary for the continuation of the show. However, in order to get audience engaged the new storyline must appear logical and somewhat believable. What was that car accident nonsense they showed today ??? Sultan's car had to collide with the man who is conveniently linked to him and his mysterious past 🤢🤢🤢… CVs unlimited junoon for Sultan is making them blind to logic and sensibility… They could've at least introduced his unwanted family in a more believable manner..

I will truly enjoy the wedding ceremony, as long as Sultan and his clinched fists are missing from the venue… Putting up with moping Paddy is enough to deal with

As long as CVs don't try to continue to show a pseudo-infatuation, I'm ok with watching him becoming villainous (trying to pull our beloved couple apart for some revenge-filled reason); or enduring his voyage of discovery (I have a Daddy! And a Mommy too!); or watching the collapse of his thriving business, or whatever. For max. say 3 minutes per episode - thats my tolerance threshold level.
