Avika was far more iconic and popular than Prats could ever be. Still BV moved on, no? Vikrant Massey was so popular as Shyam and the first understanding male, ideal son-in-law in BV before Shiv. He left. Still the show's running, no? Neha Marda was a fireball of talent as Gehna, she left, Gehna's character was butchered, still BV is running and is among top shows, no? Anjum was extremely popular as Gauri, her character suddenly disappeared, so is the show out? No.
DS was liked for her commanding, hard stance. But she softened and now is more open-minded. People accepted that, no? Even when Surekha Sikri took a break for some months, BV still held fort. Actors playing Bhairon and Sumitra have also taken breaks from the show time to time, still it is running.
Even if TRPs fall, BV has nothing to lose. Every show has phases of high and low TRPs. As long as BV handles its story well, the show isn't going anywhere.
Last word and fact - BV is not about JaAn, Ansh, Gaga alone. It's about journey of a character in a certain milieu and tackling of issue through her eyes. That's all.
It's an iconic and long-running show and if handled well, there is no doubt Toral would grow on everyone as Anandi.
Jo hua so hua, why cry over spilt milk?
