If you are going to argue for AnuPre, then at least be fair. Bajaj WAS the best written character, he was the ANTI hero, with a potential back story, but you saw how this ended? Krish3 mask and a knife.😂😂 The truth that most AnuPre fans ignore is that Mr.Bajaj is the anti hero that Prerna actually ends up with. And until the PreRish marriage the ratings sustained. What continually brought it down is the one house track. Sure, at the outset, that happened in Komo track, but that time, it wasn’t random, it was AnuKom as socially wedded husband/wife vs Prerna who claimed to be the real wife. It was wife vs wife.
Which leads to the biggest issue with Bajaj track. The handling of one woman two men track. This was handled so much better in S1, because Prerna was shown to love Anu but lived like a married woman with Bajaj, IN HIS HOUSE. There was no doubt in her mind re who she was. No one house track on top of separation track. In this season, you have the leads UNDER ONE house( for no reason) then you have Prerna doing Romance with her ex, and show her conflicted... that doesn’t digest with the Indian audience which is so patriarchal. Ekta herself spoke about this 2 weeks ago. She said, it SUCKS, it doesn’t work on TV when they show woman being anything than ‘Perfect’ when it comes to her moral, ethics. Men sadly get a pass( and Anurag did for really having 2 wives) but not women. That turns them off , cuz then husbands judge them too. SAD TRUTH. So you can see the blunder that the creatives made or had to make, along with others, that resulted in downward spiral ratings.
Offcourse, this is a snowball effect. You f**k up one thing, then rest follows.
But, Anyways, even when Hina was here, AnuPre fans took credit for the rising ratings. Oh this week was AnuPre episodes, MAIN LEADS KA MAGIC!!! The truth is the shows peak was during Hinas stay, cuz she was fresh from big boss and she is the most famous person in TV right now. Idgaf, so I can say she is a bigger name than Karan as well. But, KSG did bring in ratings, but as you can see how it ended, the snowball effect of poor execution of mostly bad writing.
The truth is, Ekta could have brought on anyone was Komolika, Bajaj. Anyone. You know their arcs. I know their arcs. Any half decent actor could have justified it. This could have been a breakout show for Erica, Parth, and whomever she chose. But that’s not the case. She chose, and is choosing actors bigger than the characters. Hina. Amna. KSG. I wonder WHY. now, Bajaj gaya but the lull is just a set up for Amnas Komo. Ekta is clearly seeing this show incomplete without big name Kasautii. The main cast of Basus and Sharmas barely have any interaction or character development. Even if KSG DOENST return, she will choose another big name, and by then the damage will be more. Will we blame Amna for poor ratings now, and in the future the other actors then too, when the truth is main leads/cast ALSO can’t carry the show on their shoulders?
When will fans acknowledge in ITV, writing is the only HERO. Nothing can save a show if it’s poorly written and umm.., DOESNT MAKE SENSE.
