personally i dont think its got much to do wid d new slot..dere were problems even bfor moving d new slot..d accident track/param coming back etc..rather ishra romance has only increased in d new slot, which is entertaining indeed.
Time slot change is the main factor. A prime time show must garner high TRP, otherwise it will go off air; that's is how it rolls. Yes, even before moving to the new slot we watched some silly tracks like Param re-entry and Shagun in Ishra bedroom but that's because CVs were unsure how to proceed the storyline considering the change of time. Those three weeks we saw some silly stuffs along with some bold stuffs because CVs were hell confused. Pankaj Bhatia (Bala) confirmed their confusion tweeting they were unsure about the change and it's repercussion. Accident track had one loophole only, showing Adi as the culprit. otherwise, we got to see best emotional portrayals of both the leads throughout the accident track. In fact both KP and DT gave their best during this track imo and it had a proper closure too.
