It's the truth , she planned the track but probably the idea was dropped later bec of fear of a backlash. Those were the times when fans took to violence for her characters. With rajeev it became more of an ego issue ..she wanted to prove that serial will continue wi a changed sujal. The new actor was plain horrible but the trps didnt drop for sometime bec audience loved kth. After sometime the ratings dipped and she pulled it off air. It didnt run like saas bahu , kggk or kzk1.
The point is ekta k has employed all kinds of tactics to sensationalize the story and get trps. That means anything . She just takes audience for granted and assumes that they will lap up whatever shit they r gonna show. N it backfires also. Kth wasnt the same after this fiasco. Kzk2 was doomed after bajaj and bridge kaand....all serials become senseless after a period of time... Sometimes she backtracks if a track doesn't work but it's only recent...she didnt do it wth kzk2... .
