Guys, mass-audience is the be-all, and if fandoms are fortunate to have that in agreement, then that's the best of all things.
TRP and BARC are a sample of the viewership. Extremely important, but held firmly by the experience of everyone involved for at least two decades. Even if both were to be unavailable, the sponsors would presumably pay according to their own 10-20 years of experience about which tracks are likely to get how many millions of viewership.
It's like a neighbourhood general-store owner who has been having the shop open for 20 years in the same neighbourhood. The customers change, but that change is something the shop knows every day, week, month and year. The chance of his experience failing at guessing what sort of products to stock up for maximum customer-satisfaction is proportionately less.
Ideally, serials prefer one male lead and one female lead. Triangle is done with a vamp or villain, who may hopefully be proportionately less expensive or shorter role.
Only if the newcomer in the triangle is loved more by majority-audience, then the lead-pairing is changed.
Here, we had two female-leads and one male-lead.
The CVs presumably had two options -
- either the two sisters remain perpetually in love with the same guy, and one becomes the permanent vamp. That would be unfair to one of the female-leads.
- or bring in another male-lead so that both sisters can get separate lead-pairings.
If both male-leads are brothers living in the same house, then expense on 'family-members' supporting-actors and 'family-home' set doesn't get doubled.
If majority-audience had liked Swara-Lakshya or Sanskaar-Ragini (sweet or conspiring), then both those two pairings would have continued forward.
The actors are more important than the characters and the pairings. If this series rakes in great viewership, that would be great for everyone who has time, effort or money put in to it.
