Just wanted to say this... Makers thinking that audience loves Dhara, is their biggest mistake... Unhone konsa ghar ghar jaake survey kiya hai that Dhara is loved!!! Also I am not even saying home audience loves shivi, but they do have a massive fan following. Also Raavi is the kind of FL audience prefers, who suffers a lot.
Let me tell you my home story. My mom has been watching ghum since its on air... Initially she use to like every character, she used to sympathise with pakhi initially but as she started getting obsessed with virat, she became unlikable.My mom hates pakhi to the core itna ki everyday whenever she watch her onscreen she is like kab maregi, jis din pakhi maregi me party karungi𤣠and mumma likes sai, mere name se zyada baar toh mumma sai ka name leti hai... But still actor and makers think pakhi is love but audience can understand everything.
Now coming to PS, my mom has not watched it regularly, like until disu entry/ramleela she use to watch,tab tak itna barbaad bhi nahi tha koi bhi characterš¤Ŗ,but for TMD and ghum, TV on rehta hai,she turns on sp from 7 till 8.30,but lately she is too bored with mahaan no 1 and 2 and shweta ofcourse, she's like jail me daalo use.
Also,I had a convo with my friend few days back and ese hi topic aaya what all shows we watch these days. We were roommates and hum dono saath me saare shows dekhte the and use to troll and enjoy them (back in 2017-18 shows bhi ache aate the)... And we were talking about sp shows and pandyastore ke time she said "Dhara sardard hai, pure ep me bas wahi dikhti hai, and chiku ki wajah se yeh pura raita faila hai, ab mujhe usse bhi irritation hoti hai; and devars never respect their wives and hamesha bhabhi bhabhi" and a note, she isn't a shivi fan like me. She said " show me family jab saath me problems solve karti hai,mujhe pasand thaa, par ab har jagah bas Dhara Dhara" I was like same bro samešš¤Ek cheez clear hai audience doesn't like dhara... Be it be my mom or my friend and her mom...Pata nahi kis audience ko Dhara devi pasand haiš¤£
