Kumkum Bhagya's post leap featuring Sriti Jha and Shabir Ahluwalia as parents has got flak from viewers
Kumkum Bhagya: Majority of fans feel the show has lost its charm post leap - view results
Kumkum Bhagya introduced a leap some time back. We saw how Abhi (Shabir Ahluwalia) and Pragya (Sriti Jha) got separated after the death of Kiara. While Pragya was living with her daughter, Prachi (Mugdha Chaphekar), Abhi was with Rhea (Naina Singh). Now, the daughters have bumped into each other in college. There are quite a few things that people are not liking about Kumkum Bhagya post leap. First of all, Shabbir and Sriti do not look like parents of 20+ kids. People have objected to Sriti being shown as an elderly woman. Another point of contention is the casting of the younger generation. Fans are almost equivocal that Mugdha and Naina look far too old to be kids of Sriti - Shabbir.
The final nail in the coffin was when the makers decided to make Pragya's entry into the Mehra house as a caterer. Twitterati expressed displeasure as she was always shown as an educated woman but always got comparatively lowly jobs with Abhi or the Mehra household.
