As if they were really attached to naira when they hear her name is sirath they would have left. As many ppl still question karthik for falling in love with sirath just because she had a similar face like naira. So audience would have also skipped if they really cared about legacy. For them story matters and itv main it's not new that lead actress dies and her look alike replaces her. So every gen is treated as new show with new cast for normal or new audience relation does not matter. They look for a character to root for.
The reason why i feel audience do not care for legacy is because we are in the era where people are more part of nuclear family. When people do not even have interest to stay in joint family and always try to keep their relation within a boundary why will they care for fictional daughter of itv character.only people who are still in joint family may care for legacy but neutral family believes in friends are better than family. For them it's just a show of complex characters. Some are twisted, some are straight, some are non sense and some are funny. Usually female audience always look at female characters. But all audience do not think from fl persepctive.
If legacy didn't matter then Kartik-Sirat marriage track or separation track should have got them 3+ for consecutive 2 months or 4+ TRP for consecutive 2-3 weeks the way Kaira Vivah, Kaira's separation during Mumbai track and Goa track, their confrontations and angst got them. Why they had to take the generation leap with Kartik-Sirat within 1.5 years? They could've shown them living happily with their young kids for a year or two then teenage kids for a year or two like Naitik-Akshara or having major tracks surrounding their characters like Kartik-Naira.
Kartik-Naira ran the show without their characters being replaced or killed off for 5 years without a major generation leap, Naitik-Akshara ran it for 6 years without a generation leap. Whereas Kartik-Sirat ran it for 1.5 years only?
The only popular show based on a love triangle that didn't follow legacy was Udaariyan TRP of Gen 3 is 0.4 now, from 2-3+ in Gen 1 to 0.4 in Gen 3, within 3 years drop in TRP is more than significant whereas yrkkh is running with legacy and TRP never went this low or even close to this low regardless of the storyline.
