We all know in our circles no one is a fan of this leap. And TRPs have come out confirming whatever lead they got they lost due to dragging and not focusing on Abhira. It has also confirms that Arohi simply isn't tolerated no matter what form she is in. And Abhi's emotional state isn't helping.
I know they thought they could continue to show parellels. As Abhi spent some time in Kasauli and then they would have Akshu come back to Udaipur and have her face some things. Unfortunately, Akshu isn't able to freely roam like Abhi when he was in Kasauli due to all the relations in Udaipur and Abhir and Abhinav had to come too. The episodes seem to drag at a snails pace. I know some is set up for whatever is going to go down during the party.
I hope this puts focus back on Abhira. We need another face to face with them talking to each other.
Star Plus may have felt vindicated with the forced leap when they got 2.5 but this drop in TRP is also their fault along with the PH who for whatever reason has forgotten how to write a story.
sad state of itv Grace, when all fails separate leads, bring in the leap and kids. For most shows it does work. Here though even that has failed because yet again they messed it up.
Whilst the base set for separation was ok, having Akshu indirectly involved in Neel's death, Abhi turning from most caring husband to a monster, Manjari competing for mother india, being the most loving step mother, Akshu relying on someone rather than living independent. All way too extreme.
Even then increase in TRP I believe(like many) was the curiosity factor, Akshu's struggle, Nav's goodness(till he started ogling) and most importantly Abhir. But with confusion over married but not married Akshu, Akshu's never ending mera pati and Abhir ke papa jaap, Manjari's hate. Abhi who couldnt even stand Arohi for a sec, being her best friend kneeling to the demands of a 5 year old. This along with the snail pace episodes with limited bonding shown between Akshu and Abhir, seem to have killed the curiosity. Second time proven leap for the sake of it does not work if you dont fix the very story.
Many a times we have been made to doubt if Abhira are the end game. I am still not sure. Given the drop, channel may go all out and stoop to new low. Who knows. It is so sad, a show with the stellar cast and guaranteed audience base has come to this. Perfect case study I guess for "how to ruin a show"
As for hints, you are right you do need to ignore or take it with a grain of salt but everyone has lost trust in makers so it is easy to believe these.
BTS of hospital scene, next tired and tested track, accident or someone suffering from serious illness. Do they have no other story to tell. Taking a round of social media should give them plenty of interesting tracks. No, makers and channel think they are the best judges of the pulse of the audience. Well who knows may be they will be proven right with a complete turn around in TRP next week🤣
