Till Kekta's dimension this went well. Actors didn't mind aging, heck imagine Kratika Sengar playing daughter of Jennifer Wingetđ
Actors not willing to age were replaced - Kasam Se and Pavitra Rishta ! And most importantly even post leap story tended to continue focusing on first leads and their journey... Their journey as parents.... Their journey as grandparents, their journey as great grandparents as long as it can be dragged.
But this show! This show started the trend of killing the characters with new generation.... Initially, they established new generation by keeping original cast intact... Once new generation found the base, they were happy to 'Let go' original leads... It was quite successful as stunt that Ekta started following it with Kumkum Bhagya... Then Yeh Hai Chahatien...
Now coming to important aspect.. Not even waiting to establish new generation is a new thing... Again was it started with this show or was that Udaariyaan? Or Imlie? All these shows followed each other after one was successful...
And it's brutal killing/death of the leads.. Actually bought Trps! Heck Ghum had literally shot in last week of SaiRat... Matlab... That's how it's becoming trend... And very bad one!
