I genuinely feel like if they had shown 3-4 episodes of full emotional drama of V first refusing to believe Sai is gone, being forced into accepting it by Ninad or someone else, then grieving Sai, being almost suicidal in grief, completely lost and haggard, not eating/drinking, regretting everything he said, having FBs of their last fight, hallucinating her and dream sequences with sad BG music mixed with NiNi, Mohit, Shivani-Rajeev, devi all giving some eulogies about how Sai cannot leave them after doing so much for them- and how it was their turn to reciprocate etc. it would have been massive TRP puller. Who doesnt love emotions, tear jerking drama over death and angst, longing. V as devdas for Sai would have actually cleansed him of all his wrongodoings in TRP audience eyes atleast. Massive redemption opportunity for him. His true love for Sai, the lifelong commitment on display.
Aabaa death, Sam death got TRP and views, generated so much buzz, toh Sai death would have been HUGE. they could have gone a step further and for TRP audience unlike online audience who follow spoilers- they could have delayed the precaps that shows Sai being alive making them genuinely believe that Sai was dead. Kitnaa shock value hota. I'm not even in the business but I know this plot would have caused TRP increase for sure. Its like a guaranteed formula for success. more than remarriage, love confession- it is death/ emotion drama that evokes a STRONG sentiment.
So i cant fathom why they let go of a golden goose unless its other BTS considerations.
Sai dying was a BIG deal. why did they rush it. When Sai was in the accident number 2- they showed everyone becoming soft. BK was praying to bappa, ninad was SO affected. they said things like ghar hi veeran hogaya, uski awaj nahi gunje toh ghar is khali etc etc. so how come her DYING was SO rsuhed. It was the perfect plot point to generate major drama, tears, prolong the plot for a good 1 week over it. TRP bhi jamkar milti. it was ripe for ITV to have that be given SO much screen space. PP ko bhi ghusa sakte the-her guilt over Sai dying since they wanted to show her reformed. her mother trying to console her and people blaming pp for Sai leaving. Even she could have got screen space because of Sai death.
parallelly they could have shown Sai being in danger for a bit, her going crazy looking for Vinu, her FBs of the fight and heartbreak thinking about it and hallucinations of all the CN peeps blaming her for Vinu death including PP- saying see what happened- you took Vinu from me and now hes dead. Sai in full guilt mode. So much potential was there for massive drama/
