I feel, what they are showing is a little too far fetched (both story wise and characterisations wise) and doesn't click with the general audience. The PH is hell bent on trying not to show a cliched route (such as a teary eyed Arnav on a redemption track or a crazed Arnav begging for Khushi's love). But sometimes that's what the TRP audience IS looking for.
what people expected to see,
1)Shyam's truth getting exposed.
2)Arnav realising Khushi was honest and innocent
3) Arnav feeling horrible for mistrusting Khushi and making her go thrugh a forced marriage
4) A dramatic self realisation of his mistakes and asking for an apology
5) End of contract marriage
6)Khushi leaving the house
7) Arnav realising he loves her maddly and wants her back
8) Arnav declaring his love, goes to GH and try to woo her.
9) Re-marriage
10) A few blissful weeks of happy marriage
11) then past coming out.
This is what the TRP audience was looking for. Cliched I know, but people had been looking forward to seeing this above process of events for months (after the contract marriage). But the story never provided this. At the end of the day people want to see something they feel good about, not something that disappointes or fustrates them into turning channels.
Us royal fans who are addicted to IF more than the show, still stick with the show hoping and preying for better days, but would the TRP audience be that patient? No. The show is not catering for the TRP crowd's expectations.
If the cliched route makes more sense than what they are showing as an apparent uncliched unique track, without us having to decode and analyse why this character behaved this way and why that character said this line, then so be it. Stick with the cliched route that makes sense to the viewers. The TRP audience does not do decoding and analysing like us lot at IF and when they cannot understand the base value of a plot, they loose interest.
