Guys, having JM see or know anything about senior RM right now would be totally counterproductive.
The mass-attachment isn't as much for her as RM's daughter, as it is for the DVD pairing in the series.
So she as half of the DVD pairing's both couples, yes.
As the previous couple's daughter, in her own right, not so much.
So whether she has revenge or her investigation into her own past would just be a distraction.
Her seeing or finding out anything about her parents right now would get in the way of the push to get lapsed mass-viewership to resume with the series with the restored couple-pairing.
So the focus would be prudently maintained on the strengthening of the couple's bond.
If she has to find out anything, it will be about him because it is not directly connected to the new story that the leap was meant for.
And they can't prudently even hint in her sphere about her husband looking like her father unless they plan to promptly reveal that RM's real daughter died, and JM and Raj are the previous couple reincarnated.
Basically, the only immediate storyline utility of her being RM's daughter is as an excuse for AK to get her and Raj married and keep them both in the comfy RK Mansion sets, under pressure so that his adverse presence will help the couple to bond totally with each other.
And if push comes to shove, and they deal with the occasional jibes about father-lookalike by announcing that the new RM are the previous RM reincarnated (mass-viewership has never had a problem with age-illogic if they like the characters and/or the pairing), then it would look odd that instead of both of them seeking revenge, she would have been doing it all by herself for some time already, subordinating his role very inexplicably in the storyline.
Also if they instead announce that the new RM are just lookalikes of the previous RM, then too the story moves well enough.
The mass-audience loved Rishbala - both of them together.
And the death of that couple was transparently so that their daughter could be brought into existence and a new story could be woven around her.
If that gambit had worked as greatly as was hoped, well enough.
So having JM as the avenging daughter all by herself is likely to have the same backfiring effect on mass-audience as the constant praise and defense dialogues about the other guy last year, or RK's paralysis or Madhu's miscarriage.
If something is clearly happening in the story for the easily predictable benefit of a particular character or track in the storyline, and the mass-audience is expected to sympathize and support that character through those engineered sympathy-gambits, they are usually likely to instead turn against that track either in disinterest or aversion.
If the intent is to get mass-viewership to excuse the blunder of killing off the previous couple, then it has to be not with showcasing the couple's daughter's story vis-a-vis her parents. Not when the new story which was intended to take off via her existence was the actual reason for the termination of the previous couple.
Rather they need to sell the new couple as a compensation and substitute for the previous couple.
A story matters if it is *not* built on the ashes of a pairing that mass-audience loved. Unfortunately, JM's parents identity and their death is such a story. The longer they delay touching it with even an elongated bargepole the better.
To rebuild viewership, they need to focus totally on the current RM, and as little as possible on the previous RM (except in strategic mentions of their existence via the other characters to connect those characters to the storyline).
