MUMBAI: Star Plus’s popular drama Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, produced by Cockrow & Shaika Entertainment, has long held a strong foothold on the TRP charts, captivating viewers with its intense storytelling and powerful performances.

However, earlier this year, the series underwent a major creative shake-up. In a bid to refresh the narrative, the makers introduced a dramatic time leap, which also saw the exit of the original leads and the arrival of an entirely new cast. While the bold move aimed to infuse new energy into the show, the response from viewers has been somewhat divided.

Unfortunately, the shift failed to sustain the show’s previous momentum, leading to a noticeable dip in ratings. In light of the audience’s reaction, the production team made the strategic decision to bring Bhavika Sharma back into the fold, replacing Vaibhavi Hankare, who had taken on the lead role post-leap.

In a previously recorded interview, Vaibhavi candidly addressed the backlash she faced when she initially stepped into Bhavika’s shoes. “I don’t feel the need to say anything to Bhavika. My focus has always been on my work,” she said.

“People will always have opinions – some good, some bad. But my aim is to win them over through my performance. Let the trolls say what they like; I only have love to offer, never hate. I completely understand the emotions of Bhavika’s fans — the sudden change must have been a shock.”

Despite the initial criticism, Vaibhavi gradually managed to carve her own space and earn the respect of viewers during her time on the show. While Bhavika’s return has been met with enthusiasm, there’s no denying that Vaibhavi’s contribution also left an impression.

As the show continues to evolve, fans remain hopeful that the blend of familiar faces and refreshed storytelling will once again propel Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin back to the top of the TRP ladder.
