I don't think making Prachi lead was the real problem. I think the real problem was Prachi's character sketch. First, there was no reason for Prachi to root for LK's love and acceptance when she had Pihu, her real parents true love -- how they gave her life before they left, she had Adi, Sara, Brinda, Sandy, Ishaan etc. Even Akki, her mama (I wish he was shown) There was no reason for her to find a father figure in LK when so many others were around.
Second, Prachi's naive trust in just anyone, esp Josh, despite her sister's and other well-wishers warning. Ram had reason to naively trust Nandini. She was his stepmom whose responsibility his dying father gave him. Ram had seen Nandini's most vulnerable moments after his father died and knew that she needed her support. Plus, Nandini was good at manipulating the emotions of guilt and responsibility in Ram. Hence, Ram always acted as per Nandini, until he learned she was using him for his money. What was Prachi's reason to be so naive (esp pre leap, before Pihu left)?
Third, Prachi's comparison with Priya only based on her appearance. Priya was a strong character who always stood up for what was truth and right (at least that was her core in the beginning). I didn't watch the leap epis, but from what I have heard, Prachi was never as strong as Priya. It was always Pihu. So that comparison never worked.
I feel if Prachi's core characteristics could be justified with the circumstances she grew up in, then probably the audience could connect with her. Also, idk how it was expected that the audience who accepted and loved a strong female lead like Priya will be okay seeing someone like Prachi.
