I don't think they can attract new Audience with shivi mu and separation.the last separation was meaningful. It had to come with Shiva's insecurities bubbling up and raavi finally bursting out tired of being a punching bag and unable to understand him. It made sense, it was just shivi and their issues and it was intense.it opened up so many possible plot points.how will raavi erase shiva's insecurities? Will she ever know the truth? What will shiva do so that raavi's character is not questioned by anyone else after all the blunder he had done? How will they move forward? It gave them a trp of 2.2 in the following weeks. sadly they couldn't add new audience or keep the old ones hooked.
On the contrary,Today's episode was laughworthy and made no sense.only the loyal audience will continue to watch till their patience gives up.
