So this is what I feel about the current developments ...
Though it might look illogical but plastic surgery is only option to bring Kratika back as reincarnated Tanu ... they cannot really show Tanuja is fake Tanu suddenly because they already shown her getting flashes of old Tanu .. so they will hv to show Tanuja only is real Tanu who took rebirth and under such circumstances there is no other option but to go for plastic surgery and bring Kratika back as Tanuja ... CVs made a blunder by going too far with Tanuja getting past flashes of Tanu and so they will hv to make sure Tanuja only remains real Tanu .. Under this circumstance only option available is face change via plastic surgery .. Also they cannot show Kratika as some lookalike fake Tanu either as Kratika and KraSha fans all want them back as TanShi only which is possible only if she is back as reincarnated Tanu , so again face change is only option available here ..
And plastic surgery will hv a major reason , it wont b all of a sudden .. I hv heard a story idea from my strong source who herself runs ZA productions and if CVs r going with that idea , then trp viewers for sure will lap it up as the situation will b connected with the previour birth .. Cant tell u exact situation here 😳
I know RishTa fans r heartbroken with this news , but I feel CVs had no other option with the dipping trps .. last week all shows raised except Kasam , so well .. its clear that trp viewers did reject Shivani as Tanuja and so CVs saw no further point to go ahead with this jodi.. we might give excuses on filler episodes and no progress , but even pre leap , there were so many filler epis without nay progress , yet trps never fell to 1.9-2.0.. so well ...Olympics was a major reason for trp fall but post olympics too trp remained 1.9 , which means nothing really worked post leap and so CVs had to get Kratika back to save the show .. Now I realise why CVs dragged RishTa meeting and wasted episodes on Katiyani devi and Bani-Neha 😆 , its because CVs kept that door open for Kratika to b back and so made sure they dont show much of RishTa scenes 🤔...
I liked RishTa too but I feel from whatever scenes I saw , they looked more like buddies than a passionate couple whereas TanShi was passion personified from starting scene itself something that worked with trp viewers 😳...RishTa has a bulb meeting scene and TanShi had a bulb meeting scene too (their first meeting when Tanu was fixing the bulb) . if I compare both , then TanShi has that oozing passion right from that eyelock scene , something that RishTa lacked and so my comparison is based on that just one scene ...
I never felt this miracle will happen .. I mean I never thought Kratika will b coming back because Ekta never really bows down to viewers demand especially when she replaced the actor already like she did with Sujal in kahin toh hoga or Mihir in Kyunki .. Once she replaced , she never brought back old actor , so I was sure Kratika wont b back too and was getting used to the new couple , though I will confess , I always felt that vaccuum of TanShi .. But woww Ekta actually bowed down to fans demand and bringing Kratika back 😲😲...Thats no short of a mircale and proves how much KraSha was loved as a couple 👏...I m happy that I can witness my TanShi again ...As far as logic of plastic surgery is concerned , when has daily soaps followed logic 😆...Daily soaps r always about trps and well in this case TanShi = trps because story of Kasam was never its strong point whether pre leap or post leap .. CVs did try hard but I guess KraSha and TanShi were too famous and loved by trp viewers to b forgotten so easily ...
Anyways even if Kratika is back now , I m sure , it will take time to take the trps up to 2.4-2.5 because it has already lost a lot of viewers post leap .. CVs will hv to give lots of TanShi scenes and promos to get its old viewers back because damage has already been done .. Damage control will take time but better late than never ...
Last but not the least , welcome back Kratika 🥳 and all the best Shivani for your future ventures 😊 ... Again if the news turn out to b false , I will accept the current plot without really mocking or putting anyone down .. But yes if news is true , then I can again get emotionally attached to the show which I was once when TanShi ruled my screen
