But after this hit n run or rather road rage thing... Ppl will nt be able to accept the second pairing. With anu out of picture loyal audience who r still watching will start looking for options.
If they wanna get the charm back, they ll hv to work on anupre.
So we'll put @abhiya-12 and euphoric...
This ping-ponging will not work in any way. We have seen it today, haven't we?
Firstly they need to decide on one pair and build a proper story around them. In the process, the fans of other pair will leave the Show and that is the collateral damage they need be prepared for...
Secondly, if they want to build the other pair, then that has to be gradual with proper redemption. I don't know how can anyone accept a lead who justifies a deliberate cold-blooded hit and run with such ridiculous justifications and then the FL being all accepting of that when the one on deathbed is her soulmate for whom she had undergone the ludicrous sacrifice at the first place. On top of that people have neither forgiven not forgotten the blackmail and all other criminal activities surrounding the blackmail.
Thirdly, Parth is not an aira gaira newcomer who can be crushed under the popularity of other actor. He has a huge fan following with a mass appeal - one of the reasons that he was selected to play the role among many others.
Fourthly, the demography of TRP audience is not the same as it was before. Although I don't have the official statistics, yet I am tempted to say that the TRP aunties today are more independent and empowered today than they were 15 years back. It will be difficult for them to accept the female lead like what they are showing now.
Lastly, no TRP audience , the prime time TV viewing Indian audiences, especially the TRP aunties will connect to a mother's blatant disregard and apathy towards it's own child - especially the family audience with children at home.
So you see it is going to be a double edged-sword either way. If they establish one, a large chunk of other fandom are likely to leave and even if they don't, they will continue to face the current fate unless it is compensated with more than proportionate replacement of the lost TRP audience.
