Had KMTMG aired on SP / Colors etc. without Sriti as lead actress, it would NOT have completed 500+ episodes, forget even having an anniversary run, that's blatant fact.
Time slot change decision by channel was perhaps taken during Jul 2024 after 10.15pm /10.30pm Kmtmg telecast overlapping even with airtime of long run KDB still wasn't working out,
this was after, both educated working & regular family audiences disconnect and disappointment with Kaise's story movement, un-relatable plot twists and main characters shabby usage that peaked from May 2025 onward before prolonged open terrace stay of Chitnis already bored them.
POST that crappy mela night half hindu wedding mockery, after turning snobby Babita into irredeemable mom as if she is the obsessive main vamp, then ex Priyanka's entry to live with Ahuja's as if she is legal wife which also got shown forced by Babita,
then once upon time sharp, outspoken, strong yet jobless Amruta unbelievably shown turning into some meek & conservative patni/bahu handling domesticity, along with uneducated Bhavani immediately forcing Virat as if dharmic pati on her beti making her do vrats for him & his family, Amu not retaliating properly to numerous public humiliations she got subject to.. etc. etc.
See TV viewers like us have 100+ things to blame Z for, but why makers & cast are now jumping to highlight during Apr/May 2025 as if ONLY time slot change main reason to lose audience, fall in ratings that leads to closure of this daily serial?
that too when channel still gave 8 more months in reality for makers to bounce back with their story telling and character developments?
Would have been little sympathetic to makers and crew if some abrupt closure of Kaise happened during Oct 2024 after Rajeev's first kidnap and murder attempts on Amu & Nimmi during Dussera navratri paving to villains causing climax, but Sry not fully now.
