KKN Gurugram Desk | Once one of the most loved and top-rated Hindi TV serials, Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin (GHKPM), airing on Star Plus, is now facing a significant viewership crisis. The serial, which enjoyed consistent success on the TRP charts, has been unable to maintain its position in the top 10 after a recent generational leap.

According to industry insiders and weekly TRP reports, the show has seen a sharp decline in viewership ratings, causing concern among the makers and cast alike. The shift in storyline and cast dynamics, which intended to refresh the plot, appears to have alienated a chunk of the original fanbase.
What Went Wrong After the Leap?
The show took a bold turn with a leap that introduced new lead characters, bringing an end to the love story between Savi (played by Bhavika Sharma) and Rajat (played by Hitesh Bharadwaj) — a central pair that had garnered strong emotional investment from fans.
Post-leap, the new lead cast includes:
-
Sanam Johar
-
Parama Singh
-
Vaibhavi Hankare
However, despite the fresh faces and updated narrative, the revamped plot has not resonated with the audience as expected. Viewer engagement dropped, and GHKPM lost its long-held place in the TRP top rankings.
Is Bhavika Sharma Returning to the Show? Here’s What She Said
Recent buzz in the television industry suggests that the makers might consider bringing Bhavika Sharma back into the fold to restore the show’s lost charm and TRP ratings. Amid growing speculation, the actress herself has now responded to the rumors.
In an exclusive conversation with India Forums, Bhavika addressed the speculation, saying:
“I would love to return to the show. However, officially, I have not been contacted by the producers yet. I read the news today, and I was just as surprised as everyone else.”
Her candid response has sparked curiosity among fans, many of whom are hoping to see the return of Savi and her emotional storyline that once formed the heart of the series.
Current Storyline: What’s Happening in Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin Now?
The current plot focuses on new characters Neel, Tejaswini, and Rituraj, shifting the emotional core of the show. The drama has intensified with complex relationship dynamics, but it hasn’t managed to create the same magic as the pre-leap episodes.
Key Developments in Recent Episodes:
-
During a traditional Gondhal ceremony, a major twist unfolds.
-
Juhi confesses to Tejaswini that she ran away from her marriage with the sole purpose of meeting Neel, believing them to be destined for each other.
-
Meanwhile, Mukti, observing the growing closeness between Rituraj and Tejaswini, warns him against moving forward.
Despite these emotional twists, the storyline is yet to strike a chord with loyal fans, many of whom have taken to social media expressing disappointment over the show’s current direction.
Fan Reactions: What the Audience is Saying
Social media platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Reddit are buzzing with mixed reactions. While some fans have appreciated the performances of the new cast, a significant portion has openly stated that they miss the original characters — especially Savi, played by Bhavika Sharma.
Trending Hashtags:
-
#BringBackBhavika
-
#SaviRajatForever
-
#GHKPMDecline
Many fans argue that the emotional depth and relatability that Savi brought to the screen are missing in the new narrative. Memes and nostalgic edits of Savi-Rajat moments are once again circulating across fan pages, showing the lingering connection viewers have with the older storyline.
Why TRPs Matter So Much for TV Shows
For daily soaps and television dramas, TRP (Television Rating Point) is not just a number. It directly impacts:
-
Advertising revenue
-
Sponsorship opportunities
-
Longevity of the show
-
Cast contracts and renewal
Shows that consistently perform well are rewarded with extended time slots, cross-promotional events, and sometimes even film adaptations. In contrast, declining TRPs often force producers to take drastic decisions, including revamping the cast, changing the narrative, or abruptly ending the show.
In the case of GHKPM, the drop in ratings is compelling the makers to re-evaluate their creative decisions, including potential comebacks of popular characters like Savi.
Is a Major Plot Twist Coming Soon?
Television insiders speculate that a major narrative shift might be on the horizon. With Bhavika Sharma expressing willingness to return and fans actively campaigning for her comeback, it’s possible the production team may reconsider their current trajectory.
Also, with major channels constantly competing for prime-time dominance, a shock re-entry or surprise twist could be just the spark GHKPM needs to revive its audience base.
What’s Next for Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin?
While the immediate future of the serial remains uncertain, some developments are being closely watched:
-
Will the makers announce Bhavika’s return?
-
Is there another generational leap in the works?
-
Will fan backlash prompt script alterations?
-
Can new characters sustain long-term audience interest?
Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin, once a flagship show for Star Plus, is at a crucial turning point. The drop in TRPs post-leap has made it evident that the audience isn’t connecting with the current storyline. While the introduction of fresh characters was a creative gamble, the void left by characters like Savi and Rajat remains unfilled.
