Honestly I think everyone is completely misunderstanding Gul's quotes. People are jumping to all kinds of conclusions..first that she is blaming vrushika for the low trps ... she never said that.. she said that the Ishaana track wasnt working. She didnt say that the actor was not doing a good job she said that the "track" wasnt good. Which I think we all agree the Mala Bela track was pretty lousy. So they are rethinking a better track for Ishaana's character. Wouldnt all Vrushika's fans want her to have a better story line rather than a lame one.
Secondly Gul didnt say she is sidelining Ishaana.. all she said was they are giving the character a break for now while they think up of a fresh and good story. Right now they want to focus on Om and riddhima break up. Again thats good that Ishaana wont be the cause of it and when Om realises that Ridhima is not what she seems he will remember Ishaana and then their story can start on a clean slate without lies and deception wherein Om will see the girl behind the thief.
Thirdly why would Vrushika quit when the creatives are trying to give her a good story line itll just take a couple of weeks more I guess.
I have seen some of the nasty comments posted by some fans.. guys lets not be negative and see where the story goes. Its the producers show, their bread and butter they obviously want to do the best they can for it, Its their actors and their characters .. lets give constructive feedback and not be rude or nasty.
Lastly, I think there are gonna be 3 love stories but all love stories cant be started at the same time otherwise what will they show 6 months down the line. Then itll be like all the other soaps with ridiculous time leaps and multiple generations coming in, I much rather they give each love story its own space. Right now they are focusing on Shivaay and Anika once they fall in love the focus will obviously shift to Om and Ishaana and then Rudra and Saumya.
The story is of 3 brothers and their coming of age... So lets just give it some time and enjoy the ride
