I'd rather miss an IPK episode or that they not air one, if all they want to show is Jhalli throwing away her brother's money.
anjali, sits on her lard ass all day, making smiling faces and has no qualms about throwing her brother's money.. infact she doesnt spare a thought to it
1) she didnt care that she lost the credit card, her BROTHER is paying for
2) spends his money to support her household, and never questions shyam's income or lack thereof
3) doesnt want to move out and start her family. which family can be 'normal" when the badi bahu is constantly denied her rights because of a DI who wont leave the house despite being married for FOUR years
Anjali is a failure as a character, forget parallel lead. her constant obtuseness, lack of depth and character growth make her a big turnoff and as you rightly said, lead to dipping TRPs.
Its not that viewers want ArHi, viewers want a story with layered Characters.
The only layer Di is coated with is nagging cling-on worse than an anchor at sea.
