Parth decision to quit is also because the show wasn’t working. Who would want to work on a show whose future is doomed?

his contract his over 11 aug & he put down the paper for his health & his future project

if ekta want to cintinue this show nobody can stop

when she can replace sujal than she can replace anybody

but as covid is the main reason & parth quitting too she decided to end it

As someone said, when she could replace Sujal (Probably the most iconic TV hero in last 20 years) and even original Anurag, then her ego can make her do anything, but I guess we are just lucky that the fans of KZK2 will see the show ending with original leads.

Lol, the original ran for 7 years, and the reboot couldn’t even manage 2years or 1000 episodes. Definitely, not as successful as people would like it to be, sadly.

Also, who cancels a big, successful show overnight? Nobody. But a show that’s bleeding money, and wasn’t worth keeping on air, sure. Easy peasy to just pull the plug.

The biggest issue with this show, was the pandering. In hindsight, they should have stuck to AnuPre OR shown Pre making headway to loving Bajaj. Also, if I can, choosing celebs with strong fandoms wasn’t helpful. The makers felt the pressure to constantly please both sides of the aisle, and it doesn’t make way for character or story development.

Anyways, good luck to the actors in their future ventures

The reboot was not even supposed to run for 7 yrs... gone are the days... SP itself wants to run finite series...this show would have managed one more ye if the ML wouldn't have decided to give us mukti🤷

The biggest disadvantage this show had was the foreshadowing of the last season...all the new and different tracks have been accepted by the Audience wholeheartedly...but continuous negativity and makers trying to show the old story costed them...

It is unfair if you compare the TRP system of early 2000s with the system they have today. In 2000s, the highest rated show used to clock around 22-25 whereas now the highest rated shows cannot even go past 3.5 TVR. So in today's aspect KZK2 has been successful. They can fight with the rest of the shows for TRPs but the show cannot literally clock a rating of 22 in this era when TV content and quality has been in dumps for years now.

If you look into the trend of Naagin shows, the rating decresed with each successive season, and it has been here only for 4 years.

On top of that KZK1 storyline was outright regressive, leads marrying anyone but still making babies with each other, male lead suffering till eternity, female lead marrying a father of 3 grown ups to sacrifice, everything was sadistic and regressive, it worked in 2000s because Ekta was on a mission to shove down regressive content and kill the standards, her best love stories has been sadistic where male leads suffer, be it KZK1, KYPH, and KTH, so if she thinks repeating the same story will work now then she is wrong, no one in 2020 wants to see Prerna marrying someone else while she carries Anurag in her heart, no one wants to see Anu being so helpless in Komo's hands that he cannot get united with his lady love and no one wants to see leads separated since the first episode, even IPKND 3 flopped with Sobti, it shows that audience does not want to see anything repeated, they have already seen original AnuPre remain separated forever and hate/love/kill each other and die , so unless makers really thought that they can fool audience, no way same story would be accepted, and it was not after a year when audience was sure that it indeed is a 80% reboot, when Prerna literally married her blackmailer just like previous prerna did and when Anu literally gifted her to bajaj just like previous Anurag did.

I believe in the simplest form ratings are just a sample of the population, so their sample size has increased, which would reduce , ratings per say.
However, despite that, the top rated shows have maintained ratings CONSISTENTLY over the years. You can argue that the era was different, but maintaining consistentcy over 7years isn’t a joke. Many Ekta shows even in that era bit the dust in 2-3 years and don’t have a cult following like KZK.

Given that KZK2 had the advantage of a brand name with regards to its predecessor show and the show makers, not to mention increased access to tv, social media, it has still fallen short, in living up to the expectations due to lack of consistency in story, characters and ratings. More recently, Look at Kumkum, Kundali, Yeh Rishta, YHM or going a bit back, even Pavitra. They have consistently topped Or currently topping the ratings chart. The shows and the actors are a brand inthemselves.

Here is the thing: TV shows are still regressive. They are just packaged better. The basic premise of loving one person but doing dumb sacrifices are the bread and butter of TV. I agree the audience tastes have changed so the onus of presenting good adaptation is on the makers.
The makers pretty much wanted to audience to decide if it would be AnuPre or PreRish by pandering and seeing which track brings better ratings. And the lack of clarity, the story development - the same old Komo vs P, it just shows the makers aren’t trying at all.

So, while I think this show Was enjoyed By core AnuPre fans, it won’t be remembered as an amazing remake of a cult show. Kinda like Ishqbaaz, and the ilk, lots of online popularity, but not a whole lot more than that.

it sucks to say that, cuz i wish the new writers who took on recently were there from the get go. They saw the potential the characters and the show had, and They know how to weave a good story, but it was a little too late for them.

SP is super greedy show. If a template works they will beat that formula to death. Look at yeh rishta or YHM, they ran for 4-5 years. Only their not so hot shows shut shop within 1.5-2 years.

The second part I agree. They kinda screwed themselves over pandering to both fan groups. They started with AnuPre and should have decided if they will be endgame. If not, gradually progressed to PreRish. But doing neither makes them look undecided and really self serving

Why will she want to continue a show which isn’t bringing the numbers? Lol

With original leads only it is rating so low. Season 2 needs a proper base audience which is quite shaky for this show only. Lol Replace ML with some other actor and then shut down in 2 months due to low numbers? Is that what you want her to do? Lol

Well if you consider the show getting a disgraceful exit and ending with low numbers with almost everyone associated with the show wanting to quit, as lucky, then yeah KZK2 is the luckiest show! Lol

Couldn’t have said it better. The problem with following TV shows on social media is it gives a very skewed view of TV audience. Majority of those who actually watch these TV shows are not on social media at all. The ground popularity of a show is what matters and not how much online hype it has. For instance, if Divyanka or Hina go to shop in some mall, people will instantly recognise them as Ishita and Akshara (some may not even know their real names) because the shows had such a great reach. I don’t know if the same can be said for shows like KZK2 and IB. (In urban areas, some might but otherwise...)

Spot on ...and because people could never connect to Prerna as a char and therefore the char nor the actor cud ever become a household name like a true sp female lead and thats one of biggest reasons why this show could never connect with the trp audience and tanked there.
