I try to separate the actor from the character whenever I analyse or criticise any show, but I cannot help judging Bhavika for taking up this role! I loved her in MS and watched Ghum S2 for her only. But I find it such a shame that she took this shit up. I have zero sympathy for any trolling that comes her way now. Actors don't have control over storyline and directors, but taking up this show knowing that she will be reprising Savi and will be having a 3rd love interest and basically cheaply selling her Maddam Sir fandom by putting on a uniform smacks so much of desperation! Like I said before, I started watching for Param and will continue to do so, but I will be happy if the show wraps up soon. Everything feels so cheap and tacky now. I hadn't seen YHM but I went back and saw some scenes after finding out Ghum S2 ripped it off!! And now they are set to do the same with Bepannah apparently (haven't watched that one either but knowing Ganja writers, they will shamelessly reproduce scenes same as they did YHM)

Same way, are we going to blame Rohit Purohit or Garvita for taking over as Shehzada and Pratishtha? They were replacements too. If they had said no, the makers would’ve hired others. That’s just how this industry works.

When a generation leap happens, older actors get replaced. Shakti and Bhavika themselves replaced Neil and Ayesha as Sai and Virat. So should we blame Shakti and Bhavika for saying yes? Maybe if they had rejected it, Sairat would’ve continued, right? But the truth is—the makers had already made the decision to move on. These are industry decisions, not personal betrayals.

Actors don’t reject roles because of fan backlash. They have bills to pay. This is a cut-throat industry where opportunities don’t come easily. You can’t expect them to give up work just because “some people might get offended” or it “hurts someone’s ship”. That’s not practical. At the end of the day, this is a job for them, not a personal loyalty test. If they don’t take the opportunity, someone else will. It’s not about disrespecting fans—it’s about survival and career growth.

You’d do the same if it was your job.

Imagine in an office, one employee gets fired and another gets promoted to their position. Now tell me, should the person who got promoted also resign just because taking that role “hurts someone’s sentiments”? Does that even make sense? It’s not their fault the company made that decision. Their job is to work, earn, and grow—just like any normal professional.

Same goes for TV actors. If someone gets replaced, it’s the makers’ call. The actor who steps in is doing their job. They’re not villains. Should they say no to a big role, a paycheck, and career growth just to protect a fictional character’s legacy or fans’ feelings? That’s not how the real world works.

If anyone deserves to be questioned, it’s the channel—because the final call always comes from them. They decide the direction of the show, who stays, who goes, and when a leap or replacement happens. The makers execute what the channel signs off on.

Let’s not forget, channels only care about one thing—trp and profit. This is a business. And with so many people shifting to OTT platforms, Yt, or catching up on Hotstar instead of watching live tv, the pressure on channels to generate numbers is massive. The traditional tv industry is already struggling for survival, so their decisions will always be based on what they think might bring in the most viewers or create the most buzz—not fan emotions.

A very well-articulated post, Pavitra.... You have summed up all, very brilliantly done the interpretation & analysis of people getting offended for fictional characters as well as nicely dissected thie character Savi herself who's a indeed a parody of wrong interpretation of a strong woman Loved reading your take on everything.

Channels & makers have themselves made a mockery out of this character & clowned Savi on their own, & made her into some forgettable character, so how & why would even people refrain joking on her when makers are themselves establishing her like that.

And thankfully you too talked about that promo, many people along with you & me were astonished at Savi's temperament during Rajat's death sequence....why did it seem like she was barely affected by her husband's death, itna thanda reaction life-partner ke death me sach me pehli baar dekha. Pathetic Savi found her husband in such condition and instead of mourning for her husband, she seems more worried about what he was doing with another woman? Zero emotions from Neil and Savi for their beloved spouses

It looked like she doesn't give 2 hoots about her husband lying cold beside her, but she is much more concerned & in a hurry to ask "that suspecting question" to Neil who was crying for his wife 🤢🤢merely by seeing Rajat's aadhar card fallen beside Tejaswini, glarely indicating that she suspects something fishy.. .Disgusting. Why would it mean anything . Speaks volume about her priorities..My god, she trying to suspect Rajat was very appalling, 😱which wife would be in the sense to do that. Her entire attitude in that part of scene was disgusting to the core.

Seems like she's gotten so immuned to death & destruction happening all around her & people being reduced to nothingness, that nothing affects her now

When any woman newly married dies in an unnatural death , first suspect will be the " husband" ...It will be other way around if the newly married man dies...Police officers suspect every one ...They are trained like that ..It is natural a police officer to hold any one as suspect...This is the only factor they got " right "

Rangu and Sitara coming under one media conglomerate umbrella is one of causes they won't mind these blatant copying of shows. Isn't it? Since you both understand the industry well and perhaps could explain, I am tagging you :)

Maybe this has already been discussed, but the new promo implies that Teju ka character assassination will continue after her death. These bloody Pradhans, especially that insane Leena, didn't even thank her for supporting Neil during molestation case, and now they will have free run to dump on her. Shee these makers are such shit!

Exactly. I predicted it yesterday itself. Leena's behaviour is so ungrateful. The whole Pradhan family is ungrateful to her. The Pradhans haven't had a glaring change of heart yet and are unlikely to do so. Everyone is still behaving rudely to Teju and ignoring her. Added to this are Rutu's statements today which exposed the past bond between him and Tejaswini to Nandini and Amay. Now they're against her too and probably tomorrow everyone will get to know about this. Then kalesh happening and Tejaswini getting character assassinated just before meeting her fateful death. No love for her. Her own family ditched her when she needed them the most, Neil isn't here and this vile family is questioning her dignity. These Ganjophiles are truly heartless!

Yes ...Bhavika doing the right thing by taking the job and earning some money for herself .The makers didn't kick out Vaibhavi to bring Bhavika ...The drama lost TRP they were plunging really bad ...They are trying the last resort by bringing Savi back .Bhavika is a through professional who keeps ecety thing professionally and she definitely know as FL and actresses " life span " is very short ...There are always new faces coming up ...

OK I never read long paragraphs like this but since you have had such a big reaction, let me explain my post. There is a stark difference between the replacement of Shakti, Virat etc and reprising an old role like Savi given the brief she was given. I am not so dumb that I would judge her or blame her for the breaking of TejNeil (wtf I actually lmfao at this insinuation). I am judging that she accepted to beat a dead horse. Obviously I know that Vaibhavi was anyway going to be replaced, but accepting to do Savi all over again was Bhavikas choice, and it seems to be a poor choice to me. My post has not got anything to do with her replacing Vaibhavi or anyone else. That is solely on the makers and channel and I am not going to write an nth post about what is starkly clear to all of us.

Sure this is a tough industry but her success after Ghum 2 has opened many doors for her, and I find it hard to believe this was all that she had on offer. Again, before you insinuate that I don't live inside her head to presume to know her situation, I don't presume any such thing. I am commenting on the situation as is presented to all of us via her choices and media interviews.

Was that a dream or did that vayni come to know about Tejaswini and Rituraj?

Dream broke and Vahini came to know about Tejaswini and Ruturaj.

P. S. Full Tamilian here :) Nice to meet you! I don't think we've talked on this forum before.

I am now very excited to watch when Savi enters the show we rarely get this kind of dramas which are more weired & unnatural tha that of a supernatural show ......I am not bothered about any thing else the entire scenario looks very comical...Bhavika coming back as Savi makes it more comical...

It is hilarious 😂...Savi is back she was shown as an IAS officer now she is an IPS ..Very paranoid even about her " late husband " no 1 Rajat......Ghum makers showing how 🤔 a person's perception towards death and tragedies change as they are continously face it ....But we know these Ganja trying last resort to stay relevant ...Wait TRP gang would be interested that " Savi ..death magnet 🧲 " is back or not
