I was looking forward to some growth too.
But we got to face it that the show has been transformed into a thorough action/thriller drama, which TRP aunties won't enjoy, but we online viewers love!
NK gets max. TRPs during the zenith of tracks (climaxes) but the reason this show doesn't have a loyal TRP audience is because so far there has been ZILCH happy tracks in the show. Not a single function or festival without some negativity or mishap.
Bringing Ramayana and Mahabharata always cannot help. We need some happy moments too.
After the whole Juhi torture for 3-4 months, people needed some break, and what they got was more negativity.
For me, I am very happy with the storyline now, because I love a genre that' a mix of romance-action and thriller. But the common ITV audience may not like it, and we can't force them either. Some happy family moments are needed.
Hoping for some increase in the coming weeks now that Khannas would be back!
