Honest opinion:
Post haveli, where focus was rightly shifted to ShiVi & their changing equations. With Birthday, kangan etc tracks. (Although forgetting gerund & danda & batwara kaands)
Actor who loves to claim the lead title, that she is the center of the show, went into insecurity bout. Must have talked with PH. Is pally with creatives, costume people etc anyways.
And focus shifting started. PR machinary on overdrive, farji award promotions, grouping the other chhoteys in team, claiming its about everyone.
Worked. Other 2 couples new journeys with all its issues got pushed on back burners & back to stale center. with repeat jaap & sameold scenes.
Soon other chhoti will realize how was taken for ride. Unless award nomination works.
Cannot change the fact, Show got popularity because of ShIVi & shaadi track.Before that even this forum was dead. Now this ego tussle will push away the viewers who connected to the show. Yes, it is story about all: so let it be that way! Why this juggling to get back to single couple with repetitive output? Why leave Rishita’s adjustment issues & Shiva’s insecurity + Raavi’s realization issues under the rug? Why shove Anita & maami with complete random scenes? Where as Krish is completely sidelined? Why not bring more Hardik, mama if they want side characters present?
Anyways, I do wish & hope they do understand the balance & learn to gracefully show the interwoven stories. Sole focus on GauRa at this time is not going to work.
