There’s no politics played. Shows have a budget for every episode. HG are original cast members and veteran actors, they’re going to be expensive to have around as season regulars because if the show were to be extended beyond the timespan of the initially drawn out plan of a limited series then all the contracts will be renegotiated between the PH and the actors and therefore all the actors will expect a certain amount of hike in the new contract. The more they hire experienced actors like HG, who are popular and also charge more as they have played main roles, the higher their budget goes. But in their stead if they get the usual actor who plays side roles like say Jiten Lalwani, even if they have to renegotiate a contract in an unlikely scenario that the show gets an extension, it doesn’t necessarily mean the channel increases their budget too. They can keep Jiten around and even if he hikes his fee it won’t be a huge amount, while that’s not the case for HG.

This is purely a business, and they wanna keep the budget to a minimum hence why we have a season this time around where extras are around more in scenes unlike the previous time when we had the occasional scenes with extras but most scenes would be with the main cast itself.

I think this might be so far one of the best written episodes of the show, I liked it a lot barring the song sequence between Mihir and Noyna because urghh

The undercurrent of the episode was one simple thing - money. Everything is about money.

Angad gets a reality check that he will never forget and Vrinda finally seems to show some spine when it comes to her family… all because her SIL feels Angad is a freeloader who is a burden on them. Funny how it comes from the woman who was dreaming of being a freeloader and enjoying a life of luxury courtesy of Angad not too long ago.

Tulsi on the other hand signed the papers and acquired everything owned by Mihir, per his own wishes and that set off alarm bells ringing in Kiran’s head and where he failed to make Mihir question Tulsi’s change of heart regarding this matter, Noyna succeeded…

In a rather clever way, the episode was a subtle commentary on how society views women and men when it comes to money in such different ways though both need it to survive equally. A woman who stakes her monetary claim is viewed as being money minded and selfish even though she has essentially devoted her entire existence to a man and his family. She’s sacrificed herself, birthed his children and looked after everyone in his family ranging from his grandparents to his grandchildren and yet the idea of her being the owner on paper was seen as almost a crime instantly. It started affecting the opinion others have about her as they look down upon her, including her own husband who made the decision himself without any coercion or threat or intimidation from Tulsi’s end whatsoever. He had these papers prepared without even her knowledge. But the moment Noyna says she would pick him over his money any day still manages to get Mihir to have a judgemental moment there when Tulsi was signing those papers.

In a sharp contrast, a man who makes no money is seen as a burden and is treated with no respect, even in the place where his respect is considered paramount. Even though it’s only been a few days since this man has stepped into this space. He has a long life ahead of him where tides can and will change but his current position was enough to make a woman who normally wouldn’t have even been able to get an opportunity to get close to him, order him around to do chores.

Truly one of the most well written episodes of the season so far

if a budget issue was the reason then hiten-gauri would have only had a cameo, there would have been no point in bringing them back as permanent cast . Nor would it makes sense to first show that karan returned to india , agreeing to nandini's request , mihir gave his new business to karan , and then suddenly karan-nandini disappear without any explanation. What is the logic behind this ? Even Hiten's reply on his yoytube channel clarifies everything for the fans .

I didn’t even know Hiten has a YouTube channel. But I still don’t think there’s any politics here. I mean frankly those two were the only actors from their generation who even made it on the show besides Shobha, we are not even shown Gautam, Damini, Saahil, Ganga; even their names are not mentioned. Karisma was mentioned recently but she was hardly a character people even remembered. So the fact that KN are still a part of the show is telling.

Besides, at this point the reason they’re not back yet is because we were shown was Karan clearly stating that his two younger kids have to complete their 2 terms in US before they can shift permanently back home to India. It’s not yet been 6 months in show.

Parth being back means they’re not completely ignored or forgotten but will be asked to join the show again when the track goes there. In an ensemble show things happen. I would much rather have them back when they have something concrete to do rather than just give wide range shocked expressions to the camera at dramatic moments from various angles while they hardly matter and make a difference.
