She is definitely living in a bubble!!!
Nazar had 2.0 and Pandya Stores when it started in this slot got a rating of 1.3 and it’s repeat telecast was getting 1.1 till it got replaced with Chashni. This show from the beginning is getting only 0.9. This goes on to show that neither the promos generated any interest nor the initial episodes worked.
Why will the channel give a new slot when the show brings Trps less than a repeat telecast. Slot change is given to a show which had considerable audience and story had to be concluded in a logical way. This show had no audience in TV and had no buzz online right from the start and the storyline less said the better.
Initially the entire show revolved around female lead and when it didn’t work they took the leap kept the focus on both the leads only and still it didn’t work. The leads and their chemistry didn’t work. No excuses there.
It’s lame to blame the slot when the female lead lacked the screen presence to create the impact with the viewers, the leads had no basic chemistry and with the concept being already dicey, the direction/plot narration/overacting made it more repulsive. Her overconfidence that it would have worked in a prime time slot is laughable and her blaming the viewers and slot shows how pompous and arrogant they are!! The show had nothing promising to work in any slot, if it had then the channel would have at least moved it to an early evening slot before pulling the plug. IPL is an excuse, most of the games end before Chashni starts.
Sandip is usually very good with casting, and he is well experienced to know that forced intimacy cannot create chemistry. He is the one who said ‘actors either have chemistry or they don’t, chemistry can not be created.’ I don’t understand how did he go so wrong here.
Amandeep Sidhu can analyze what happened and share her opinion, the same as anyone else. I don't find it pompous or arrogant of her to say that the show would have done well in prime time (Don't plenty of poorly written shows stick around?), that viewers didn't feel like watching a story at 11 pm, or that viewers expected a fight between sisters and didn't want to watch a female firefighter at work instead.
A while ago, Amandeep Sidhu was saying that we'll like the twist because Chandani becomes her sister's daughter-in-law not out of revenge but out of protective love. It's only human of Amandeep Sidhu to think that the show failed because no one appreciated Chandani ... more viewers wanted to see negative sāsa-bahū kitchen politics ... viewers' schedules only have so much time for TV and that goes to cricket ...
Now, addressing issues that have nothing to do with rebutting Amandeep Sidhu's analysis ...
Amandeep Sidhu's acting ability and screen presence are good enough for the scripts she got. No one could salvage a character who, after hearing from Raunaq that it's her fault that Avantika took two years to die, didn't demand the whole story before she got into a marriage with the vindictive man!
My opinion is that chemistry can certainly be created. Without the right background music, any scene of the leads tripping-catching-freezing-staring looks ridiculous. Without correct editing, accidentally falling on top of each other looks like the choreography that it really is. When we see chemistry between Raghav and Pallavi and not between Raunaq and Chandani, it's the same scowling or squinting or smirking or carrying-her-to-bed or shirtlessness from Sai Ketan Rao, and the same teasing or battle cry or deer-caught-in-headlights look from the ingénue, but the camera angles and pace of alternating shots are what makes us believe or not believe that the scene partner feels aroused.

1. Yes she has a right to her opinion but I can’t agree with her reasoning that the slot didn’t work coz there are other shows like Nazar & BB which did extremely well in this slot an even Pandya stores did bring decent Trps in this slot. Chashni’s rating were lower right from the first week, in fact lower than Pandya stores repeat telecast, so Chashni could not even retain the viewers of this slot, leave alone bringing in new viewers, goes on to show that neither the promos nor the initial episodes generated any interest among the viewers and it failed to connect with target viewers till now. So blaming it on the Time slot was an excuse is my opinion.
2. To say that viewers did not like a firefighter story is like to blaming them for their choices, when in reality they had such a mediocre show to present which lacked everything right from a logical plot to a sensible narration and with most of the actors including the leads competing with each other for overacting. First give a decent content then they can go on to judge the viewers likings. Presenting a content is their job to like it or not is viewers prerogative and here the product was so poor that they have no grounds to point at the viewers. She says that the viewers did not like firefighters story. What did the firefighter even do to like her character or her story, as a character all that she did was scream and cry for her dad & sister and then trip fall and roll with Raunaq, post leap it’s random cribbing and forced intimacy between them, so we are supposed to like her for doing the same nonsensical thing in every episode!!!
3. And I stand by my statement, she is a very poor actor, she didn’t look a bit convincing with portrayal of any emotions, especially emotional scenes. There is no spontaneity in her performance so her portrayal looks forced & fake. Baring few initial episodes where she looked zoned out, in the entire show she was only overacting leaving nothing to be desired.

When the lead actors don’t have a natural chemistry then the only way one can try to create it is with strong characterization, a logical plot and a sensible narration. ‘ Raunak lands in Amritsar from nowhere, keeps bumping into chandini for no rhythm and reasons, they have this trip fall catch stare episodes every now and then which doesn’t look romantic in anyway, he as a stranger takes a lot of liberties and helps her out of way, no questions asked, and we have Chandini already in love with him’ does this story even make any sense!! The time Chandini took to fall for Raunak is less than what it takes to make 2minutes Maggie noodles. Even Manav’s one sided love made more sense than Raunak Chandni introduction & interaction, and Chandini’s love for Raunak looked so lame and illogical. She knows her sister married a man double her age but she and her family doesn’t insist on knowing the reasons instead she decides to marry her sister’s step son. The whole narration of the plot and her character had nonsense written all over it and then they go on to blame the slot & viewers likes!! Not everyone shows the wisdom to acknowledge their flaws but trying to pin it on others especially viewers is nothing short of being pompous and arrogant in my opinion.
Sai and Shivangi had a natural and undeniable chemistry and strong screen presence which instantly clicked with the viewers but what worked even better is Both Raghav and Pallavi as characters had powerful individuality with a sensible storyline and talented support cast at least for the first 6 months. So there is no comparison between Raghav Pallavi and Raunak Chandini at least for me.
My opinion in blue.
Sorry but the timeslot isn't the problem
The show in itself was problematic nd failed to attract audience as simple as that
Otherwise ps ke repeat telecast ko hi 1.1 trp mila krti thi isko q nahi mila
Also ipl h still yhc managed to grab 1.6 plus trp at 1030 toh isko atleast ek ka trp toh milta 0.9 hi tha hamesha islie Gaya off air
Lame excuse 💯
As per IPL considered till 11 pm most of matches finished.
Serial never picked up from day one.... Infact from promo itself looks lame mediocre
One who giving such a excuse is got maximum screen space.... Entire story revolves around her character. To get her max screen space now other sis is purely gayab from screen 🤷🏻♀️ Initially Guy who was her hero rarely seen in episode... 🙄
And her character never generate sympathy as per ITV rule 😂
There was no story from first episode.... Plus Direction was so so bad.... Technically very below avg 💯
Imp her own acting 🤷🏻♀️

@bold: Exactly, her character failed and she as an actor could not manage to connect with the viewers. The entire show revolved around her character and she had the max screen space. Post leap it was all about Raunak and Chandini and their mindless tu tu mey mey and cringe intimacy. Chandini as a character and Raunak & Chandini as a couple failed to garner audience interest and that’s the fact, and that’s because of the illogical presentation of the story, poor direction and overacting literally by all the actors. Accept the reality or leave it but to blame the viewers screams hypocrisy. Despite all the physical intimacy between the leads in every episode this couple failed to create any positive buzz with online fans, now what will she say for that. Blame online fans for not accepting Chandini & Raunak’s out of the world chemistry???
Initially, The only thing that looked interesting is Roshni’s character, Roshni & Nirbhay story at least made some sense and yes Sumer’s character also looked promising. But post leap all the characters which looked promising took a back seat with the entire plot revolving around Raunak and Chandini which was an epic fail and yet she goes on to blame the viewers & slot.
The biggest issue with this show right from the start is the wrong casting, poor direction and their silly mindset that cringe intimacy will lead to some out of the world chemistry. But the audience & fans proved them that they are not here for this cringe fest. Looks like it hit their ego. Servers them right for taking the viewers for granted and dishing out this nonsense in name of a show.
Reading the article, I didn't get the impression that Amandeep Sidhu "blames" viewers at all. At most, she assumes that viewers wanted to see sisters fighting, and surmises that the show didn't deliver fast enough.
She clearly acknowledges that there were creative problems and it's the show's responsibility to appeal to viewers, not viewers' responsibility to appreciate the show.
For what it's worth, she is silent about acting and chemistry. My impression is that she performed as directed, and it wasn't her free choice to overact.

It sounded more like she was complaining that viewers like Saas bahu content more than a independent women’s story, when in reality there was no independent woman’s story instead what was served was a chaos created by a bunch of confused people.

Why would an actor deliberately overact throughout the show, scene by scene, what kind of conspiracy theory is this?? No I don’t think so, she is just a bad actor who could not convince viewers with her performance or screen presence, not just acting her dialogue delivery is equally bad, she is too loud and literally screams in emotionally intense scenes. When an actor puts a lot of effort in the scene, it takes way the natural factor, the issue with the female lead was we could clearly see she was overdoing it, which made her scenes fake & superficial.

Yes, it couldve got better trps with better execution and story and this is evident because some weeks the trps did increase and then went down again.
But I still think 11PM shows face a similar fate to SP's 6PM shows. It may not have done wonders in a primetime slot, but itni jaldi khatam bhi na hota
