I was wondering whether I should comment or not bur well, whatever. This isn't to do with this show particularly, just what I think about the maker's post (I haven't read the rest of the comments!)Okay I have watched three (four, if you count DBO separately) Gul shows now. My fav was and will always be QH season 1. ❤️So, when KSG quit QH as Asad, we all boycotted the show. ( I am not a KSG fan but I loved his portrayal of Asad). Even the trps sank badly, because for both tv and online audience, KSG was Asad. The new guy just couldn't gel in.So, the makers quickly ended that season, and took a generation leap. Surbhi Jyoti was retained as Zoya's twin daughters, Sanam and Seher, while rest everyone changed.The new pairing of Surbhi and KVB was a hit too, I liked it too, though not as much as Asya.What I am trying to demonstrate is that if the makers replace some other actress as Annika, then it would definitely not work, because the audience connects SC's face to Annika, no one else can be Annika for them. There is no Annika, without Surbhi.But there can be IB without her, just as there was QH without Asad/Zoya, replaced with Aahil/Sanam.If they change the storyline altogether, and get a new CHARACTER pairing then it might work. Because Nakuul's face will no longer be associated with Shivaay, in the new pairing. It will be the face for some other character, his son I guess, then.I know online audience is all about pairings and ships. But honestly trp audience doesn't care for that. They care for characters. If they cared for actors, then shows with the best actors or most popular actors would have done well, but that is not the case.For the tv audience, Shivika's story would be over, and they will move on to the next generation's story. If the Gen next story is told well, then who knows, IB might rebound on the trp list (from where it has been expunged since a month or more). And trp is all that matters for StarThis is nothing new, its being done several times on tv and films before.If they get a famous actress opposite NM like Drashti or someone, then their pairing will be huge too, just like KVB brought his own fanbase to QH.Thats just how industry works. *shrugs*
