this is because of the daily soaps...the leads burn themselves out shooting for almost 200 hrs a day! it was better earlier when theer were weekly or twice a week tv shows...plus this whole trp thing drives me mad! the trp game does takes the creativity and the quality of content out of a show.. good that mahabharat is only going to be on air for six months...so they will finish it off in a proper manner sticking to the original story..
