Leap is introduced to gain new viewers to the show and to give freshness. A sub-character in the leap is not the focus but the main couple. Afterall that's the plot of the story. Even in Sas bahu seg also mentioned the reason why 3rd angle is brought to bring in a serial is to reunite main couple. The increase of TRP is predictable. Makers can maintain it for sometime. But what happens afterwads is crucial to gain TRPs. They made many mistakes in this leap.
1. As you mentioned FL married a random guy just for her baby. (I am not gonna question their legality of the marriage because I also agree with Twitter being toxic). It descroyed the independent woman concept. Character is established as weak.
2. Akshara's feelings towards Abhi was erased as if it was never existed. She was very rude to Abhi most of the time during post-leap.
3. She does not leave any stone unturned to bash and blame Abhimanyu.
4. She tried to keep Abhir away from Abhi as if he is some kind of a monster who wants to keep Abhir from Akshara.
5. She was potrayed as the FL who didn't do any mistake in her marriage with Abhi.
6. Abhimanyu was made villain as you said.
How can this even bring TRPs? They completely butchered Akshu's character followed by Abhi's. The only character who stayed true to his perdonality was Abhinav (a sub-character in the post leap of the show).
If they are now trying to wipe out the Brila's family I am not surprised. Creaters made mess of the story now they want to un-mess it by revamping the whole story. The people who say Abhira couple was not liked by viewers and it would have shut down before completing two years then it is wrong. True Jodi brings TRP but they alone cannot save the show. Proper story with family dramas is a must.
