Harveen I agree with you, its not about the character, its about air time. That is the reason I strongly believe someone up in the food chain, either at Zee, BT ot both are in love with her. Buddha who is the male protagonist of the serial was butchered to provide air time for RC. That in its self is saying something. Plus if the rumours are to be belived then RC's husband is starting another serial on Zee, I just wish he takes her in that serial and she quits KS.
Harveen/Farah,
JLH is a serial that is getting yanked around by Zee with them switching its time slots every other day. There was an article how the production house/actors were not happy with the 2-3 time slot switches. If zee is not even giving the entire serial the time of the day I doubt the director of that serial will have any clout with zee officials. Anyways the directors work for the production house and not for the channel. Also the directors and actors have very little say in serials, it is mostly creatives and producers who drive a show (case in ppoint KS). Also RC's husband is a relative newcomer in the business and I doubt a daily soap director that too someone realtively new will have the sway to push zee to butcher the character that zee creative head has said is the face of zee (ashwini has said that RK and rajshree are the face of zee).
I think all the J n B butchering we see are solely driven by kekta destructives in there stupid drive for over the top zatkas. They have butchered the character of Pia beyond ounce of humanity. I think the Pia screentime is a sole factor of the gross storyline they want to pursue and setup whatever track they think will be a winner.
We will have the samething happen with Tarun. When the diff between JB will be resolved we will have tarun force bani too do something really bad to JW to make for another JB break. They already have given tarun OCD. We will hate tarun with a passion but he will be front and center. We will get a lot of bani butchering where the creatives will make her do objectionable things to save Jai withoout him knowing. It's the same viscious cycle for the creatives.
I think Jai, Bani and Pia are all puppets in the hands of incompetent creatives or destructives.
