But the point here in question is why would the writers destroy their own work themselves with such crap writing? Can we think of some possible answers?
One possibility is that their hands are tied which obviously would be the case with Mata. She is still stuck up in 20 years old concept which doesn't work here.
Second maybe the contract period of the actor which is probably leading to everything being rushed without any proper build up.
Third..... I'm not able to think of any so need your help. Maybe the writers go through this post and realise that we all are here with them in their tough times as writers too😛🤗
In my opinion, it is the first possibility more than others. I do not think it is the constraint of contract period. Sorry to bring in the reference of the previous season, but it is just for clarity of timeline. As they are rebooting the Show that ran for 5+ years, this season can be calibrated to run for at least three years (no multiple marriages as per actors and also a five-days-a-week run time instead of four days the previous season). The principal actors' contract would have been drawn accordingly.
I can see no reason either. So I will attribute the shoddy writing and inconsistent characterization to two factors:
1) Someone has already mentioned it. It is Ekta's s ego. However, she needs to introspect and understand that she cannot please both the set of audiences, especially not at this point when the story has already taken a 180 degrees turn, either for better or worse. Keep aside the male leads, neither fandom is happy with Prerana's loyalty versus soulmate jaap, nor will any female viewer relate with her character.
2) Secondly, they have grossly misinterpreted the TRP audience's demography. They surely are not what they used to be a decade and a half back. As women themselves are more independent and empowered today than then, the TRP aunties are likely to be similar. Which female will feel a connect to this FL's character? Hence, the disconnect.
3) Thirdly, with advancement of technology and advent of new media, television is not the only medium of everyday visual entertainment. There are cloud channels, web- series and subscribable entertainment portals like Netflix. Hence, television is not the only option for 8 p.m viewing. Besides, it is not only Ekta Kapoor and Star Plus ruling the roost anymore. There are other channels and other Shows running simultaneously at the prime time. It won't take viewers a second to change the channel if they are subjected to all the convoluted mess disguised as mahantaa and balidaan.
Point 2 and 3 can also be attributed to lack of research on Ekta and Balaji's part. As human demography has evolved, as technology has evolved, the Shows that air in television need to evolve too. Hence, every production house need to spend a considerable amount on research and development before launching a new Show or remaking the earlier one.
