I’ve said this before, legacy is a big part of ITV, whether ppl agree or not. It’s facts. Legacy always matters in ITV. Savi worked cuz she’s been around since 2022 as baby Savi. Audiences connected with her through Sairat and wanted to see her journey. Savi was introduced and promote by Sai and Virat themselves in Gen 2, so ppl already cared about her.
Here, the new leads weren’t even connected to the previous gen, so there’s an instant disconnect for the audience. If Savi wasn’t Sai’s daughter and was introduced the way they introduced this new fl Teju, it wouldn’t have worked either, and that's how simply it is🤷🏻♀️ Even after IshVi ended, ppl still watched for Savi. Now that her story is over, Sairat’s legacy is done too.
why you think Shahi is all about legacy fls cuz he is smart. Even Ekta uses fl as legacy kids in her flop Zee shows. Another issue is the story pacing—it’s mad slow. And tbh, Trp Aunties love kalesh and drama. Rishta’s trp is low rn cuz no one cares about their dumb leads’ DDP, which is why they’re pulling stuff like bride swapping to grab trps.
Making this a separate show wouldn’t have worked either. Ganja’s recent show Deewaniyat flopped hard—they shut it down in a month. If this was a separate show, these actors would’ve faced the same fate fr.
100% agreed!! the story is so boring nothing can really save it rn. only advantage they have is of the ghum name which gives them a little credibility and the chance to increase the trp because if legacy is really an issue they would pull out the legacy out of nowhere as well. I read on reddit that some people thought that Neil is saraj's son (now this is something they can pull off in the next week because in the og as well the ml was an adopted child)
