I understand that IPKKND had a very large fanbase and people really want to see that intense love story thing again. But this show is quite different than that. It's touching a whole another audience (or at least it hopes to) which is why I feel that maybe Sanaya fans are upset sometimes when they see it.
Manav is supposed to be a happy-go-lucky guy that falls in love with a sweet girl with high morals. But the real story is between Umaben and Chanchan. And both Supriya Pathak and Sanaya Irani have been well-casted for their respective roles.
I think because most people think this is supposed to be about a love story, they get upset. But really, Barun cannot always be casted opposite Sanaya. Neither can Mohit. Harshan, Wahi, all these different actors probably want a lead role in show where there would be a greater focus on them. So this show isn't really apt for them. But a newcomer that's just learning fills the bill quite well!
I think Farhan has improved big time since when we first saw him. And I'm sure he will continue to do so. When it comes to TRPs, I never really get them. There have been some awesome shows like Rishta.com that never got decent TRPs. Indian television has been quite a regressive medium so far but I'm glad newer shows are at least being experimented with. We need fresh shows like Chanchan! Give it a chance people!
