Honestly speaking, the ranking of HD should go as it goes. And I do not really care about it because I have no faith in this IF ranking system.
The show has totally lost the charm and essence which was to be found in the early months of airing. After the Holi segment, there has been a continuous downhill with no resemblance of the original track and humour. I think the story has developed very superficially, with too many introductions and farewell greetings in short period of time. And together with this some utterly hopeless and 'out of the blue' side tracks have been shown, with the result that the main story has been gradually erased.
The rankings of the lead actors, Rati and Sumit namely, should have been much higher though because they are doing their assigned jobs in rather perfect ways. Their presence is the sole reason I watch the show right now, previously the 'unique and realistic plot' was one of my main reasons. But that was back in the good days. What can we do to increase the ranking when the CVs are fully determined to strangle the show as we know and love it? My answer is clearly nothing. The CVs should know much better how to handle the show and its audience. Is it any strange that they are losing daily viewers and supporters? They have themselves to blame.
And yes, I know some people and true Ratians/Sumitians are dedicating their time and hard efforts to appreciate and highlight their favourite actors, which is a good thing itself (hats off to you guys👏), but in my opinion unfortunately the fruits of those efforts taste less sweet than they should. Anyways, keep up the good work to promote the HD. Why not take the job which the PH/CVs fail to do in our hands? I will continue watching the show until Rati and Sumit are present. 😊
This is only my POV, no offence intended.
