I haven't watched any previous gens, but from what I see on SM and twt, viewers from Gen 1 are all saying the same thing – Rishta stopped being Rishta after Gen 2, the vibes are just gone. Gen 3 was bad, and Gen 4 went even further downhill in terms of character execution and plot. They should've never picked up this Ghum plot cuz they're clearly failing to execute it with any proper storyline. My mom stopped watching this show on TV – triangle drama aside, she finds the story very bad, no drama, nothing. Even the fl, they're making her dumb thats why my mom said. My mom prefers characters like Sai, she even likes Savi, I don't know why tho. Tbh, Rishta is still going on because it has a loyal fanbase who will watch it no matter what. They'll complain about the plots but still watch it. Other shows on SP come and go, but Rishta wouldn't have survived if it didn't have such a loyal fanbase. I don't think they're going to notice anything – if the TRP stays low, they're going to do something to bring in another leap. Idk, but I think stretching it to another gen is kinda hard, but who knows.
