While like everyone else in the forum is I’m too hating this track, but I do understand where the makers are coming from when they introduced this track and it’s simply because show badly needs TRPs in order to survive BB season. It was either continue telling the OG story and shut it by the end of this month or try improve the ratings by introducing Sai-fication of Mannat which has been a tried and tested formula by approved by TRP audience! It’s quite likely that this track might be what was needed to bring out the show from that 1.1 slump. Because while the OG story has been heart warming, it didn’t have the kalesh/zillat factor needed for shows to get the required TRPs. It’s have been better if they had introduced it as a limited series in Sony the way they did for Katha!

As I saw it the OG had lots of twist plots and the love story wasn’t the key feature- it was Mannat and ARS, Mannat’s bio dad being key to Mannat being abandoned in the first place, then was the ManVik love story and Malla obsession and Aman truth early on…. it also had some very boring subplots.
In the Hindi version they played heavily on the divine connection and love story using Adnan and Ayesha to pull the viewers in, then typically for itv got caught in the trp game and introduced these shock tracks, endless repeats of same issues, and usual making ML so oblivious of any of the vamps’ games. At the end of the show whenever it will be, I don’t feel it will be remembered as anything noteworthy, other than having AdSha as leads.
You’re right they should have kept it as finite series and delivered an outstanding show that it had the potential to with the calibre of lead actors they have.
if she burns Malla I will watch whole episode
