The main reason Ekta Kapoor and her team has "run out of ideas" is because now they cannot afford to mess with the one and only thing that this show runs on and that is, the lead pair, Kunal and Siddhi, being together. They simply cannot separate these two again and thus they have essentially "run out of ideas". They spent the first 10 months of the show in getting Kunal and Siddhi together and after the senseless, pointless and brainless 9 year leap, they spent the next 7 months in hassling the audience by bringing them closer and pulling them apart and pretty much doing a repeat telecast of all the scenes and tracks we witnessed prior to the leap. This show is literally surviving on Kunal and Siddhi's story for the year and a half it has been running and if they dared to test the audiences patience again and went for another separation, they would have been in hot soup. And if you look at any Ekta Kapoor show which runs for more than 2 years, there is unbelievable amount of crap added into it, with the lead pair being separated for decades and then we have the next generation of lovers come in and finally the original pair reunites at the age of 50+ with a dozen kids from here and there and everywhere. Look at the current Balaji show on Zee, it has been going on for more than 3 years and the story is currently so repulsive and disgusting that it would make you throw up. In some ways I am glad that Parichay is ending because with the kind of mentality Ekta Kapoor has, I am surprised that there was only one severely disturbing track that occurred in so many months of the show. In some ways, Parichay truly surprised me with the handling of certain tracks because it was totally different from the standard Ekta garbage. However, more than a season 2, I would like Samir and Keerti to come together in a new show by another production house because one simply cannot trust Ekta Kapoor to make a show without adding a load of sickening twists and turns. Samir and Keerti can do much better and they even deserve better. Parichay has given them a lot but I definitely don't think Ekta Kapoor can give us a good season 2 without adding the standard mirch masala of separations, leaps, sacrifices, re-occurring marriages and uncountable number of children. At the end of it all, I say, good riddance from Kekta world, I hope Samir and Keerti prosper and do well in whatever lies ahead for them :)

@bold: You've raised very true points but then Ekta can't be blamed alone..

Most of the crap shown in Ekta's shows is liked by majority of Indian audiences & as a result, she has made such "twists & turns" as a standard..

Almost all the shows that are aired for 5-6 days a week are extensively gross but are running successfully as people simply love to feed their brains with such a sh*t.. 🤢

Parichay has been an exception (keeping aside few tracks that led to its doom), so in my opinion its good for it to end,remaining exemplary for shows in Indian arena!!

However, I do hope that the ongoing process of requesting for a season 2 bears some fruitful results!
