I totally agree with you.
I have 15 years watching ITV drama and 12 years experience in India Forums.
I have seen fanās heart breaking with these kind of news. But at the end of the day what matters is lead chemistry.
I have seen second lead winning hearts but in all those cases first lead was very āthandaā, I mean boring.
Manan is that kind of actor, hot one. Anubhav is that kind of character who will get bashed for his actions but people will want to bash him but not replace him.
I remember in Colorās Udaaniyan there were times when we couldnāt justify the hero and there came a strong fan base who liked the second lead.
But I was 100% confident. Lead chemistry is something which can never be replaced.
Here in KKIS too YeshMan has this chemistry. Interview to dekho, reels dekho, you will just start going āawwwweā
So Smriti you are right Mananās exit is temporary and thatās maximum 2 weeks.
Memory loss track can be a good one or misunderstanding track
But main lead will always be YeshMan.
Creatives can never replace Manan and have a good TRP.
