Okay, as someone who has followed the development of the show since January this year, a few things:
1. Shrenu was the first person to be finalized in the show. Dipti herself said that she wanted Shrenu when Shrenu was stuck in IB, she asked Star to give her Shrenu for the show.
2. Zain was finalized next, as the male lead.
3. After that, other cast members were finalized.
4. Kavyas character was finalized last. Two popular actresses refused the role, after that finally Tanvi accepted it.
5. Shrenu was always promoted as the negative lead or antagonist of the show.
6. In the pre-show finalization pictures which Dipti posted, she was with Shrezain and other producers. No other member of the cast, including Tanvi, was there. Because Shrezain were the leads of the show.
7. Shrezain were the ones who promoted the show in Udaipur.
8. Even after the show started we have two parallel tracks: Jahnvis revenge against PK and Kabir standing up against PK for his regressive attitude.
9. Because of the trps we have a confusing shift to bahu v bahu, and now this “revamp”, which basically fastforwarding.
What I am saying is the show was always meant to be about Jahnvi and Kabir, one as antagonist and the other as protagonist. For some time, they fiddled with the idea of Kavya as the protagonist copying the Tamil show, but it did not work, if you see the UK trps.
This week they are back to the original thing, with the focus back on Kabir as the protagonist/defender of his fam/wife.
I think this was always meant to be the original plot. They just fast forwarded it because of trps.
The focus was always supposed to be on Jahnvi and Kabir, and their fight. But I don’t think it was supposed to be love story, I still don’t think it will be love story. A lot of it is speculation to get ppl riled up and look up the show. It might even work because online buzz has been high since this news broke. But I think they are going to be adversaries.
Dipti herself is keeping all options open. I don’t think she wants love story because she had some other story in mind, but channel inference.
So, anyone saying this show was supposed to be yabir love story as the central focus, is deluding themselves
And anyone saying that janbir is endgame, is also forcing their wishes on a script where it will make no sense.
I still feel it will stick to the plan and be Jahnvi versus Kabir, and I am going to watch the show with this perspective since that is what is actually happening this week, with Kabir investigating and Jahnvi back to her shadiness. I’ll go with what the show is showing.
Just to put out there with all the, frankly wild, speculation going on.
Also, let’s not blame actors or abuse them. Star clearly made a mistake letting go Tanvi, she wasn’t responsible for what happened, but Star has done this in past so I am not surprised.
Baaki toh trp audience ki maya hai. We are all helpless against what the ratings demand.
