They have so much potential.the bachpan wala part and raavi's history with dev just adds more layers to their story. I understand that gautam and dhara can't be sidelined as characters but atleast give them scenes that will make the audience connect with them. Subtle emotional scenes, them acting as proper mentors to the devars rather than just hitting them or doing ykb. dhara was a smart, educated and sensible woman.they have reduced her to a crazy dumb woman.she is trusting anita over raavi? Calling gombi a murderer? Who will connect with her? 🤷

Yes they need to give meaningful scenes to Gaura instead of showing them romancing like nibba nibbi..Their romance looks so forced. They showed Dhara acting like a crazy woman due to her pregnancy mood swings.. No one behaves like that in pregnancy..

Tanmi, it is not about the TRPs with them, one or two scenes for them in a week will do any harm. is the continuous dose of one character that brings down the ratings. At some point the makers have to show their marital life and their problems otherwise what's the point in having them in the show, Their story deserved to be told as well.

Will you believe, If I say Meena-Jeev especially Meena's character is bringing in numbers in the OG because her character is such, the one and only character who I have seen speaking her mind irrespective of the people, surroundings, situation around her.

Rishita said, mein hamesha sach ke saat hoon but how long did it take to accept that her Dad kidnapped Shiva and Raavi. But Meena on the other hand, immediately recognized what her Dad was capable of and confronted him as soon as KM was involved in an accident set by her father (In the OG, there was no kidnapping, it was an accident)

@bold I think that's the main reason prema.everything is about dhara when the show is actually a family show with an ensemble cast.when the audience celebrates the absence of one character in the episodes the makers should really think about it.excess of anything is bad.

I want Dhara to fall naturally pregnant now. I am sure the sacrificing nature waali type Dhara is, once she finds out that PS is in trouble, she will be the first one to save the store rather than spending money on IVF.

I do agree... But a minor track on them wouldn't hurt. They do need to have their own stories to some extent, you know? Right now I feel like they're supporting characters or something, they're not leads to me.

To be honest, neither do Gaura tracks bring TRP. It's only the Shivi tracks and family tracks that are foolproof TRP successes...

The actor has to improve a lot to consider a whole track focused on him and rishitha as a character..akshay is ok doing angry faces.. but still on many occasions..I find his expressions totally pheeka and monotonous ..I can't imagine him doing anything with a bit more expressive and emotional..though Simran does good, them as a couple doesn't have the power to grab audiences attention.

Shivi and gaura tracks would work fine if shiney was careful with her acting and excessive screen space..she needs to tone down a bit as dhara ..her mood swings were the worst I ever watched ok itv ..she was doing well during the dishas engagement track though..shivi has all the audience waiting to watch them only if they give us scenes instead of lollipops...looks like they r beginning to bring shivi back on track after the mess they made with disha .

Rishita no longer has a job. She will need to look for another job I guess

It is not even a week, maybe 3- 4 days at the max since she had the abortion, Dhara is already back to action and the relief she has 15 L in the bank to foot the IVF is all the more making her happy😆

I want Dev to look for a job as well. Both can be a working couple. Gautam, Shiva and Krish after college hours, Raavi are there to take care of the store even if Dhara gets pregnant again.

That way they can have some stable finances going in PN instead of looking for money all over.

I don't know what the TRP is, but i just read that CS is also slot leader now, so here's my two cents on what probably went wrong, and what can be done now as damage control.

Tara was meant to be Shiv ji's gift to Gaura. A sentimental point with the TRP audience, most of whom do probably believe in things like God given gifts very deeply. I think the abortion or Gautam's struggles and mistakes were okay. But what wasn't ok was Dhara's reaction to things.

It's true that miscarriage would've worked better, but a good breakdown from Dhara after a night in freeze would've done wonders for TRP. Pregnancies and miscarriages are day to day household topics, the forte of the TRP aunties of the nation. Such an over the top accusation and acting that fell flat (I haven't watched the whole track, but did watch clips.. A couple busy days!), and it sealed the coffin.

What they can do further is maintain and take forward the Shivi equation positively. Some scenes, like the throwing things at the doctor scene, TRP audience too would not agree with. Everyone knows the pain of being forced to wait in a hospital, and they would disapprove of such irresponsible behaviour.

Bring a quick, sensible close to the IVF track, or even better, delay it! Till ✨✨✨ is willing to play pregnant and mommie on screen. With an actual baby bump. Instead focus on throwing Anita out and opening their eyes to her truth. Focus on taking the helm and guiding Devta through the loan kaand instead of autonomous decision making or Bhabhi Maa freaking out at the impossibility of IVF. Since the loan kaand has already become a family track, utilise it that way. People loved Bhabhi's limited mahaanta, so that might help the show recover if the actress is willing to work on acting.

Focus on redeeming Suman. And even without a redemption track, at least make her positive due to a moving situation. It might not be completely digestible, but it's better than what we have now. Suman was a great character for TRP audience, what with her greyness being very real. It's what they probably bonded with.

Raavi, and Alice 🧿, in general, is a lucky charm for this show. The Lakshmi on set kinda thing, you know? So a little more focus on the kind of things she's been doing for the family, the little scenes she's getting these days? Continue with it, and increase it as and when required and you'll probably be good. TRP audience will connect with a young, emotional girl who fought to save her marriage! You did this right by mistake, now keep at it and make Shiva redeem himself too!

PS Hoping I can tag this once! Please EDT!!!

Deeps, I think you are having a problem with every character in this show. IMO,it is really time for you to take a break and come back after sometime when you feel you can watch it again.
