Counterproductive IMO, considering this can affect how people will perceive her legacy shows in air. It's badly affecting BALH and KSBKBT already, since fans of the other shows(mainly KKB) are like super pissed with her. She'd be a clown to do this, especially to her lucky child in Zee that has been running for a decade, longer than the former two tbh. KKB is a legacy in its own right. Unlike KSBKBT, which is strongly dependent on the OG ML and FL, KKB has had success in all of its generations up to a point, mainly due to the lead's chemistry. If KKB were run during the 2000s with the same pairings, it would have been a far better hit than the former in the romance soap category atleast. I don't know from my memory if the other one had scenes like KKB has for the lead pair. But I don't think it does.

I can't figure out why she's so set on ending KKB. Zee has many reasons. It's their longest running show (between the ones that are on-air), up until Shivansh's entry trp wasn't good, and later too, it wasn't that good. Until recently, trp wasn't high and by then they had already announced new shows (that Ravi Sargun one). So it fits. But Ekta seems to want this, and I can't figure out why.

If she wanted to end KKB she should have discussed it with Zee and come up with a better script for a limited number of episodes, not this weird pacing and sidey-focused stuff they are showing.

Which reminds me, is she giving so much focus to Sonalika because the actress's previous show ended abruptly? She immediately re casted the ML (and the parallel male lead too, I think?), the FL was given Choriyan (if rumours are to be believed then Pranali was also offered the wildcard spot but she denied), so it looks like both channel and Ekta are trying to make up for ending BL. Or Ekta ended that so she could get ML for Kyunki and channel decided to give the FL some airtime with the show.

Is Ekta Striking again?

This is what happened in another Ekta show.

When show was going off air the Fl leaves 1 month leap

Then she was back and ML-FL nok jhok started

I am seeing all the same patterns omg nothing original

Exactly. Pranali has the features that suit the role, and it's important that she does, good acting won't overpower everything (and to be honest, I don't think Shivangi is that good an actress). It's an easy choice.

Oh yeah, definitely, her features somehow seem very plastic to me, which kinda of amplifies the bad effects when she gives OTT reactions in the name of "Acting".

I saw the recent promo of BALH4, and HC looked so Dapper, I mean, he is a damn good actor. He has chemistry with almost all his co-stars and gave hit shows back-to-back for almost a decade. On the other hand, we have Shivangi, who is still riding on the coattails of her work as Naira from YRKKH, like from 5-7 years ago. None of her other shows have been hits, not the Balika Vadhu sequel (which no one remembers, I am sure), or the other one with Kushal, where it became apparent even leads having chemistry cannot save a bad show if the plot and acting on other fronts are not great (Both are very mediocre actors IMO).

BALH's yellow-tint and the flat base makeup (it's not cakey but it screams that there are layers of foundation) make her look worse than she is. The styling is good in that show but the lighting and makeup are big turn offs.

I'm sure KKB team would have done something different for her than what they are doing for Pranali, but I find it very hard to picture her in a style that will have Prarthana charm, beauty, and her calm. Prarthana's styling is beautiful, and it suits the occasion, the moods. The clothes are a part of her (as they should), and I don't see Shivangi fitting into that.

Also, not to be rude, but there was a Balika Vadu sequel with her? I remember the one with Mahi, but Shivangi had one too?

Tanya: Koi valid reason nahi tha ....

Shivansh: Tha.... Prarthana ekk bohot acchi ladki hai..hamesha dusron ki madad karti hai..khud ki jaan pe khel ke...aur usse lagta hai ki woh mera badluck hai...uske saath hone se main maut ke muh me chala jata hun..par woh pagal nahi janti ki woh meri good luck hai ..woh hamesha mujhe maut ke muh se wapas layi hai...meri zindagi uski den hai

Tanya: nahi Prarthana aisi nahi hai

Shivansh: Tanya main bohot bure mood me hun... mujhse Prarthana ke against koi baat nahi karna...Varna hamari fight ho jayega

Shivansh: Prarthana mera gum nahi...meri sabse badi khushi hai...meri zindagi hai...

Haan Maine dhokhe se laya tha usse yahan...galat kiya tha ..lekin fir ekk saccha sa rishta ban gaya ..kuch toh tha humare darmiyan....usne mujhpe Aisa asar choda ki uske bina mera jeena mumkin nahin hai...
