Hi 😃 and welcome to the forum dear!
SNS is a well deserving show firstly because it has brilliant actors involved like Mohamed Nazim, Rucha Hasabnis, Rupal Patel etc. Sometimes, it's not about the storyline but the actors. For example: Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna was considered a very big FLOP but yet many people went to watch it cause it had big names like SRK (which for us is Ahem aka Mohamed Nazim in the case of SNS) 😉
Okay so jokes apart, SNS was not the same from the start. It has interesting tracks and amazing relationship focuses that other serials do not. Saathiya is not only about the leads falling in love. It's the story of how a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relation is supposed to be, how cruel can people be to orphans (Urmila to Gopi) and how a true Indian married woman can give her best to get the love of her husband.
In short it is a mixture of many flavors to make one AMAZING ice lolly.
Yes, I do agree the current track is a little boring and out of storyline, but hey, that doesn't mean the serial itself is bad and doesn't deserve any applauses. For example: if a person does not take good care of himself and falls sick (current conditions of our show) doesn't mean we should leave him/her to die (meaning stop to watch SNS). Instead, we try our best to make things better (which we already are as you see the protest thread on the stick posts) and it is what we call HOPE that things will make a change really soon.
Hope you now understand why we still watch SNS and that there is no doubt it is the best show! 😳
Take care, Sonia xx
