This show was always marketed with 3 leads. Zoya, Asad and Ayaan.
In fact in the first scene we see Zoya. Then we see Ayaan, then Asad. The last scene has a split screen of all three. So it was well established from day 1 that these 3 are leads of the show. NOT just Asad and Zoya.
Somewhere down the track, Gul got TRP greedy seeing the popularity of ASYA and got side tracked. Demoted Ayaan to a second lead when he was always meant to be the parallel lead to Asad's character. The show was always about 2 brothers and Zoya. NOW she has decided to "promote" Ayaan back to the status of parallel lead. Hence the confusion.
I think Gul learned from the Barun incident, and probably got at least 2 year contracts signed by the leads this time. I think that is why when Rishab left at 6 months, they made a case against him for breach of contract. In IPKKND however, the leads were married and the villain was defeated. Their love story had triumphed. To then kill off ASR and bring another man into the story after 18 months would have made little or NO sense. So ending the story was the right way to go. JUST to drag a show, you should not kill the original essence of it. Thankfully the fans didn't let that happen.
But in the case of Karan...I don't think he will leave, but God only knows what he feels about what they have done to his character of late??I don't expect he is too thrilled with it!! I don't blame him!! Since the whole Billi drama, they have been playing with Asad's character! I was hell pissed when Gul once said in an interview that Asad is being blind coz "I want him to be like that"!! What an arrogant reply?? Nearly as bad as her once head writer of IPKKND's comment! "Dekna ho tho deklo"!!
