I've been used to this since mid 2000s when Ekta changed male lead from one character to another in the show, maybe that's why I'm not finding all this as shocking.
There was major offscreen drama and favouritism in Rishta gen 3 which impacted the story. Leap 2 got good trps. But makers overlooked and dragged the story with the new character. HC made the right decision by leaving that PH which didn't give lead treatment to both FL and ML. There is a point that audience will tolerate and wait and after that they just lose the interest. I did not see any attempt from Makers side to fix the story after Abhinav's death. No veterant actor, who is passionate about the roles they take, can tolerate rubbish tracks they showed.
Some might say for business, PH will do anything and it is natural, supporting them mostly instead of actors. But actors' pov and their expectations need to be considered & maintained at least the bare minimum from PH side. That's how an organization manage himan resources. Actors are not slaves. They are no less than employees in the coporate sectors. When they get exploited they also leave the organization. Just like how fans support PHs does anyone support employers? Nope. Majority criticises them. Employers need to adopt humane principles to retain employees. It is the same for PHs when it comes to retaining actors.
