Why
The
Leap?
When
asked
as
to
why
they
are
taking
the
story
ahead
with
a
leap,
Gul
said,
"It's
a
natural
progression
in
any
daily
soap
to
take
a
leap!
It's
nothing
so
dramatic
or
new!" When
asked
as
to
why
they
can't
continue
with
the
Shivika
track,
the
producer
revealed
that
the
track
is
not
working!
Numbers
Matter!
She
added,
"In
the
last
5
months
the
ratings
and
time
spent
on
the
show
has
been
dismal!
1.5
tvr
and
11
minutes
of
time
spend!
For
a
show
to
stay
on
air,
you
need
minimum
15
to
17
minutes
of
TSV
(time
people
spend
watching
one
episode).
So
clearly
people
are
not
watching
enough
for
it
to
survive!"
“A
Small
Bunch
Of
People
Tweeting
About
The
Show
Is
Not
Enough
For
Show’s
Survival!”
When
pointed
that
the
show
has
a
good
online
following,
the
producer
told
the
entertainment
portal,
"Yes
but
that's
not
enough!
A
small
bunch
of
people
tweeting
about
the
show
is
not
enough
for
a
show
to
survive!
And
if
it
had
serious
digital
following
it
would
have
reflected
on
Hotstar!
Forget
about
being
No.1,
Ishqbaaz
is
not
even
in
top
5
on
Hotstar!
So
what
digital
following
are
we
talking
about!
There
are
no
serious
numbers
on
the
show
anymore
even
online!"
Is
The
Show
In
Danger?
When
asked
whether
the
show
is
in
danger,
she
said,
"Of
course!!
Star
has
been
very
co-operative
and
has
given
IB
many
chances.
But
it
cannot
survive
on
these
ratings;
so
we
have
to
take
a
leap
and
give
the
show
a
new
drift!
It's
the
most
common
thing
to
do
on
a
daily
soap!"
Surbhi
Is
Not
Comfortable
Playing
A
Mother!
When
asked
why
they
don't
show
pregnancy
track
with
Shivika
as
parents
and
follow
their
child
raising
journey,
she
says
that
this
was
the
initial
plan,
but
Surbhi
was
not
fine
with
playing
a
mother
at
such
an
early
stage
of
her
career.
She
adds,
"I
understand
that
totally!"
“The
Truth
Is
That
No
Tweeting
Or
Commenting
Can
Change!”
When
asked
what's
her
message
for
the
online
fans,
she
said,
"Firstly
whether
negative
comments
or
positive,
it's
nice
to
see
that
all
characters
we
created
have
had
such
an
impact,
that
people
are
reacting
so
emotionally
about
it!
So
in
a
way
we
all
should
be
thankful
to
the
fandom,
but
each
show's
destiny
is
only
based
on
numbers
and
numbers
only!
Unfortunately
now
at
this
point
of
time
this
show
is
not
working
either
digitally
or
on
BARC!
The
truth
is
that
no
tweeting
or
commenting
can
change!"
“Please
Let’s
Control
Our
Imaginations”
Further,
she
said
how
her
previous
show
Qubool
Hai
took
a
leap
and
they
let
go
of
the
full
cast.
She
added
that
she
worked
with
almost
all
actors
from
the
show
later!
She
adds,
"So
please
let's
control
our
imaginations
here
for
a
bit!
It's
a
show
and
after
800
episodes
we
are
taking
a
leap!
Nothing
out
of
this
world
or
nothing
beyond
our
imagination
has
happened!
And
honestly,
if
it
had
the
online
popularity
numbers,
we
would
have
not
taken
it!"
