Yes Tejasswi was turned negative and they wanted to turn her into vamp and swara full positive. Tejasswi was against it, she agreed to turn negative for sometime because the makers promised to turn her positive but after a point that malkin track where tejasswi was negative got very good trp so makers wanted her to play full time negative. Tejasswi decided to quit because of it, so makers turned her into positive again but they could not give her screenspace or equal importance to the second couple. Tejasswi and namish even complained about it on interviews. When swaragini was ending, namish was blunt that he was happy that the show was ending. So after that stunt, I don't think tejasswi will ever want to play negative or do a second lead show. Same with namish.
That's interesting thanks for sharing. I just finished the malkin track a couple of weeks back, and even without knowing this, it was very evident that there was drama going on offscreen since the track changed overnight in a super unrealistic and unconvincing manner.😆 Ragini's 360-degree turn in between these two tracks (i.e. the malkin one and the maasi one) made no sense whatsoever, but good on Tejasswi regardless for putting her foot down and saying no. Considering she was a newbie at that time, that takes serious guts. They already degraded Ragini's character so badly by this point, that they could try all they liked, there was no redemption, so I'm not surprised that the only route they saw for her character from a narrative POV, was to make her a full vamp, though again I don't get how much worse she could've gotten.😆
and @bold, lol, yeah this is another thing that's hard to not pick up on. The PH was very biased towards SS, especially Swara. Swara and Sanskaar never did anything wrong, and Lakshya and Ragini never did anything right. Lakshya Ragini kept creating problems, Swara and Sanskaar kept solving problems.😆 So I can see why they were fed up by the time it ended, despite being the leads, the CVs clearly never treated them in that manner. Even tracks that were meant to be Lakshya Ragini centric, like the Kavya one or the final one, were more about Swara Sanskaar. But I personally feel like this is an ITV problem as opposed to just an SR problem. All shows on multiple leads have multiple leads for the heck of it only. Every PH clearly favours one FL and a couple more than the other. I've felt the same way watching Bidaai, Ishqbaaz, EHMMBH, MJHT to name a few.
About being a negative character, I feel like if that's the narrative given to her from the start, that's one thing, SR on the other hand was literally taking a positive character and turning her negative for ratings. And Tejasswi has also done Silsila which was a double lead show, so I don't think she has problems with those things as such, more how poorly they handled things in SR.
