After yday's Gul outbursts I was eager to know till when we will get to see Arylie on our screens. So, I did do more research. And have come to another conclusion.
I think Week 28 (9th July to 15thJuly) TRP is what turned the tables, looking at how excited Atif & his team was excited with Mayuri's return which happened in the first week of July. The TRP results which was published in July 21 showed rating decreased by 0.2 and Imlie losing the slot leader position for the first time to BL. And coincidentally Atif puts out his exit tweet on July 22. So, my guess is that SP gets to know the ratings much in advance & probably would have summoned the creative team for another change in track, to which they didn't agree. And Gul who was already least interested in Imlie might have opted to let go off the show; but the channel didn't agree, as with their fluctuating ratings for all shows except Anupama they wouldn't have wanted to take another risk right now. Also looking at the past RWSP episode ratings would not have wanted to let go off the Khan duo, atleast till it was on air. Hence, my assumption is that the coming 2week's RWSP episode ratings without Arylie and Imlie's episode ratings for the next two weeks will be what the channel's decision will be based on, regarding when the leap should happen. If Imlie ratings increase and RWSP ratings decrease, there is a probability of getting to see the Khan duo together till September end, i.e., till RWSP end. Also, during my previous show, I have heard that it is the channel who pays for the leads salary and so they have more say on the leads matters. Can someone help me on this?
Also, Pooja can i know whether Gul's favourite show is still at 2nd position in Hotstar popular shows list. If it has changed, then probably that maybe the reason why she is so agitated, because during the launch of it she had mentioned it to be one of its kind in OTT platform, even internationally and that she was planning to have 300 episodes of it. But looking at its rating in IMDB, and how it is not working as she expected, I can understand how frustrated she might be now seeing it a flop and if the rumor of Atif & team leaving her is true, I am not at all surprised at the way she was furiously attacking the fandom in her comments & stories. Also, don't be surprised if she is seen putting out all her energy, effort, time and money to make the show a hit post Arylie's exit. Because, it's not only the fandom, but her most talented team quitting too has hit her ego, which I think is happening for the first time with her and she has to prove herself right. But then we all know 'Pride goes before a fall'.😊
