Please don't take me in the wrong way and read through fully before replying please. I know Gajra sucks and she made a mess of Silsila. But in terms of Silsila ending, do we have an small indirect part to play as well?
There is 2 ships equally strong, rooting for their desired pairing. And on ITV now days, the tendency is to pander to the bigger fangroup as the moment the popular pairing is broken, people tend not to watch and will abandon the show as their desired pairing didn't work out. The exception is when they start disliking the male leads or female leads and don't want them to end up together, like in this case Kunal for his infidelity and lack of regret. Although many may deny, youth now days prioritises romance and pairing over everything else. At times, fangroups root for a lead pair solely based on chemistry they see on-screen over everything else. If a pairing is broken on ITV, many don't have an innate desire to watch to see how the plot progresses and whether breaking the ship makes sense in the long run. They are just disappointed with the writer for breaking their ship and they abandon the show to showcase their disappointment.
Though Silsila's writing has been rather poor such that it is difficult to consistently root for 1 character, there are 2 popular ships now. The writer is stuck between catering to both ships, such that 1 fangroup won't abandon the show till the ending is complete. Thus, she makes a further mess of the script and characterisations to maintain the mystery of who Mauli ends up with. My question is: would Silsila's ending have been more clear if we, the audience, had clearly rooted for one pairing?
