I think if CVs want people to accept the replacement, they themselves should first accept it and not focus on replacement only but make it seemless...
It is CVs who have failed viewers big time.
It is not like that they did not know about the marriage. That it self was dragged for so long and they had months to come up with fututre tracks. It is very disheratening to feel that they give no thought as to what direction story will take after marriage and how they will manage five distinctive families - Khazan, Badi Haveli, Gauri, Ansh and Shekhars.
If they were simply dragging by slowly laying the foundations of the new story, I could ahve still understood. I would have accepted if replacement would have led to some more drag. But what I see is a clear lack of direction and hence these conflicting charecterisations and bloopers.
They seem to now know what they want Anandi to do after marriage, they don't seem to know how to proceed with Jagya relationship with Anandi, Gauri, Ganga or Sanchi, what is role of Sanchi because now once she is out of Jaitser how will she even be in Jagya's vicinity so what's the point of even showing Sanchi's attarction towards Jagya. Sanchi herself is sometime curt, sometime kiddish and sometime very happy with her bhabhi...
Singhs have no idea what to do any more in the story and why did they introduce Gehna's IVF stroyline
They have forgotten Jagya's life story, his past deeds and Gauri along with her pregnancy too with him.
Shekhar's don't lend any layers of characterisation and hence no addition to the story. CM's intial reservations were better to see then now Ira's concerns and then sorries...
I would have preffered if they had gone for -
Anadi adjusting in her new life in Udaipur witha clear idea about what she will do in her career or stay back in jaitser and get into politics
Singhs thinking about Jagya's life. Talking to Gauri and giving a proper closure and then just one either gauri or Ganga track
Shekhar's fighting for their dignity and showing the society that second marriage is not wrong. Maybe some maritial problems between Ira and her husband. A love track of Mahi with Anandi helping him
Sanchi and how Anandi gels with her
Khazan's demise or spending some time with Anandi or even Anandi talking to him on phone
Gehna's IVF, DS non agreement and Jagya trying to convince DS (would have been a good growth of character for him)
and so many thing...
anything but this directionless, headless ship they are running and crap they are showing under the pretext of story...
