To be honest, I doubt anyone can predict the audience perception. I just know it's too complicated and my statistics knowledge is too little to actually be accurate. 😆 Considering India's population, the sample size is small, but apparently it's still the largest in the world. Anyways, I personally believe, anything when justified properly can be shown. Whether grey hero, loving someone else after marrying some other person. I have seen all that and earlier rooted for the couple in love as well, coz they were portrayed as such. There were grey husbands, bad husbands. I am yet to see bad, vengeful wives, I wanna see that too.i don't think so , that TRP audience is more associated with hero. because my mother watched today's episode twice, online and then on t.v , just because of RB....
same with others.... they want him to be like this with A...
but, yes eventually they will definitely tone it down, as they left hints today....
1. No, married man likes his wife stalk by her lover, so it someway justifies his actions..
2. His abusive childhood, so when he comes out of its shade he will be a changed man..
3. He admit that he want to to all those things with him, but he didn't ... they can use it to change him..
But, we all can just make our asumptions.... dekhna to whi hai jo CVs dikhayenge.....
Like you said CVs can show anything. And, people do like negative/shaded characters. Coz, the importance of light is known only the presence of darkness. So, good can be justified only when there is something to counter it. And that is amazing to watch. Let's see what they show though.
