Why show Samir for a few minutes

I have been trying to rationalize why samir's presence has been cut down so drastically. My initial thepry was that since they are showing Keerti take centre-stage it doesnt make financial sense to show Samir because his fee is so highl. But I have now observed that they are showing Samir in almost every episode for a few minutes!!! Now why on earth would someone do that given that actors are paid on a per episode basis..

a few of us have discussed abt the same topic

Sameer said all that in a positive way... i thought or interpreted , as if he meant they quarrel like siblings.. but might be I am wrong..still how long can the male protagonist be ignored or sidelined and they very well know Sameer carries the show on his able shoulder so he cannot be replaced unless they want the show go off the air... so Sameer being sidelined due to internal politics doesn't make any sense.. anyway I am glad we got to see for bit longer than last week...

Ekta's done this in the past. Let her ego with the stars of her shows become all important. And then its all downhill from there. PLEASE don;t do this with Samir!!!!

I really think there is internal politics at work here. Just a few weeks back we got an article where Samir mentioned how he and Ekta fight a lot. I think Ekta is trying to undermine his position in Parichay. Never before has Samir been shown so less in Parichay episodes. Even when he was in Doha he was shown more

if i m not wrong when salary settlement was finalised then only actors will sign the contract papers...so he is expensive from the beginning of the show...and for us kunal chopra is the main lead and the story revolves around him...bcoz of kc/sammy most of us are wathing this show... the cvs are definetly know this...they cant take risk by conflict with sammy...so neither money nor internal politics is a problem there..but like you i also didnt get why the cvs are doing this with kc as well as sammy...
