But as the channel expected 2.5+ from the show it couldnt lived upto the expectations. Aur karega bhi kaise yaar the concept was totally new for audience. Thoda time toh lagta hai hai na kuch new accept karne mein. First time audience were watching a love story of two rich proffessional people on Itv. Still the show got them 1.8+ later with all the drama. Sandiip said that channel pressurized them to dramatize everything and as the writers didnt knew much about dramatizing shows like other itv shows, they failed in their attempt and channel pulled the plug. Also there was a rumour that Kzk writers were given the job to write the scripts. Scripts were written fresh daily. Starplus was so merciless that they even scrapped the wedding promo of Ronakshi which was already shot and bts pics were shared too. Without any wedding promo Khkt succeeded to garn 2.4 and surprisingly that day it was too close to beat Kkb which had 2.8. Still the channel was merciless in pulling the plug of a 1.9 rating show when on the other hand Kzk was running with 1.7.
Sp spent much more on kzk2 than khkt for its cast but still that shitty kzk2 ran for 2+yrs with horrible avg trps of 1.7-1.8.....kzk highest trp was 2.6 i guess
There was not need of drama in khkt at all as far as i remember khkt with no drama also used to get 1.6-1.8 trps same as kzk but star plus love for kzk was on another level.....from hiring srk as narrator to creating statues to hiring biggest paid actors like hina,ksg, karan patel for side leads they goes out of limit still they got only avg1.7-1.8trps....in that factor khkt was much more profitable than kzk as they only spent on sets, costumes ,story etc but still it is very less compared to hina/ksg/karan patel per day payment
Btw do u have any idea what happened to kzk2 love statues??
