Thanks Lashy for making the phone call. It is unfortunate that they are showing Jalal's character as foolish in this case but at this point I had accepted it would happen. I think the other thing this track is going to do is get Sharifudin out of jail. I think I had already given up on the CVs when they showed him release Adham to fight that pehalwan.
I am upset they said Jalal's weakness is Jodha. How does that ever make for an epic love story?
For an Ekta Kapoor serial, Jalal's character was uncharacteristically strong. If this serial was not number 2, I think they would have continued that way.
I don't agree that the trps are increasing because of the Ben track. The show was on a steady upward trajectory - what they don't know is what it could have been with a better more logical track.
With the way they are going, they cannot make it to number 1 as every time the JA trp has increased so has the trp for the number 1 show- that is why I think it is a typical trend. Every time I watch that show what I notice is that very rarely do they show the leads at loggerheads with each other- it has always been about how they face difficult circumstances together. The Kekta formula has always been show the leads at loggerheads, then they fall in love, and then she doesn't know where to take the show. It is probably why they are afraid to show them falling in love.😕
