I agree that killing Neela was probably very short sighted. They could have even postponed that whole drama by a few weeks by showing AvNeil's remarriage and VR trying to cause trouble here and there in the middle while being on house arrest. But here within a week he had done Kaam thamaan of everyone. Killed Neela, framed Prakash, compelled Avni to come to marry him and then pushed Avni into the Hawan Kund (albeit it was her plan) and then confessed to killing her and went to jail. Literally, sab kuch Jal ke raak hogaya just like that!
The issue is that the storylines that could have got TRP was not explored. Like once the jail track ended some light moments, remarriage and then maybe some more drama to defeat VR and even if they had to kill/injure Neela for it, we would have got some of the audience interested at that point. But having said that, the TRP of the show was good until the end of prision track. Well it was acceptable. The TRP started going down with Chuhi overload, but end of Chuhi track got good numbers, but then after jail track ended numbers didnt rise and Neela Ma's death was the last nail in the coffin (literally). Because just when people expected a positive track, we got her death and then the whole Avni faking death and disappearing story. Once again a "Painful" outcome for AvNeil, just when their relationship had reached that peak of togetherness and they were actually happy. But CV's cant stand their happiness.
My Mum watches NK on Hotstar coz we are from overseas. In fact she was following it before the 1st leap I was not, and she was the first to praise Zain to the high heavens to me when I only just knew who he was, but never seen his work. So she was a huge fan. She was travelling overseas and had missed a few weeks but recently returned and caught up. She told me a few days ago that the issue is that "they are keeping Avni and Neil apart!". Even she doesnt like Sayesha and doesnt understand why they waste so much footage on her.
The stories like Kareen-Amol and her BF, Ali-Rhea, Avni actually starting her career in the Police and then having issues managing home affairs and work. (This is a good debate coz Men never have such issues, but women are always expected to "balance" both worlds). This would have been a topical issue. Pressure to produce Pillu, put career on hold, or try to juggle being pregnant and still wanting to continue with progressing in career. Good things that could have been explored along with the rest of the story. But getting rid of ALL Avni's family. Amol, Neela Ma, Rhea and even Ali was a bad move.
Dont get me wrong I love Zain and Aditi and I can watch them stand there and stare for 20 minutes if I have to. Zain especially is so gorgeous you can spend an hour staring at his face you won't know where the time went! LOL. This coming from someone who has a cute 4 year old son is a big deal! LOL. Zain gives my baby competition with his prettiness! :) But jokes apart, this show made some grave errors in not following the format they had around 7 months back when the show was getting good ratings and had balance. Even now the show is a DAMN site better than most other shows. But the story seems a little disjointed now with all these new people. So I respect where you are coming from!
Hope to catch you on another forum. As of now, even with all the flaws I will continue to watch just for AvNeil. But I have to admit they are treading on thin ice here. I feel bad for AdiZa coz they are honestly putting in their best in their scenes, and you can see how devoted they are. So for their sake I hope they can salvage the story and the show!
