KKN Gurugram Desk | After a major leap and a complete cast overhaul, Star Plus’ popular daily soap Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin (GHKKPM) is witnessing a turbulent phase. While the creators introduced new leads—Param Singh, Vaibhavi Hankare (popularly known as Teju), and Sanam Johar—post-leap, the audience response didn’t match expectations. TRP ratings plummeted, and the show slipped down the weekly TRP charts.

In a move to recover audience loyalty, the makers recently brought back Bhavika Sharma as Savi, a character who once led the show to great popularity. However, fans continue to miss Vaibhavi Hankare’s presence, and speculation has been swirling around her potential comeback.

GHKKPM After the Leap: A New Storyline That Didn’t Click

When Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin took a generational leap earlier this year, the makers aimed to revamp the story with a fresh narrative and new faces. However, viewers were quick to express dissatisfaction with the storyline and cast. The emotional connect, strong character arcs, and consistent viewership that once made the show a primetime favorite had started fading.

The introduction of actors Param Singh, Vaibhavi Hankare, and Sanam Johar brought initial curiosity, but it failed to hold the audience’s interest. As a result, GHKKPM saw a significant decline in viewership, forcing the creative team to rethink its strategy.

Savi Returns: Bhavika Sharma Brought Back to Boost Ratings

In a bid to revive the show’s falling TRP ratings, producers decided to bring back Bhavika Sharma as Savi, one of the most beloved characters in recent seasons. Her return was welcomed warmly by long-time fans, and initial data suggests a minor boost in viewership since her comeback.

Bhavika’s emotional depth and fan following have always played a pivotal role in GHKKPM’s success. Her interactions with key characters like Sai and Neel continue to evoke strong emotional reactions.

Will Teju Return? Vaibhavi Hankare Breaks Her Silence

Amid growing demands from fans, many are now asking: Will Teju (Vaibhavi Hankare) return to GHKKPM? The actress finally addressed these speculations on her YouTube channel, giving fans a clearer picture of where things stand.

In her own words:

“There are currently no plans for my return to Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin. I know the fans miss Teju, and I’m grateful for that love. But as of now, I’m focusing on new opportunities. If the makers do plan something in the future, I’ll definitely consider it.”

She also added that while she’s unsure about her next move, she promises to keep her fans updated through social media.

Why Did the TRP Fall After the New Cast Introduction?

The transition to a new storyline and characters was bold, but it alienated a large chunk of the loyal GHKKPM audience. Some key reasons behind the TRP fall include:

• Lack of emotional depth compared to the previous storyline

• Weak chemistry between the new leads

• Sudden detachment from beloved characters like Sai, Virat, and earlier Savi

• A storyline that felt disconnected from the show’s essence

The return of Bhavika Sharma as Savi appears to be an effort to bring back that emotional engagement, especially for viewers invested in her journey.

What’s Next in GHKKPM? Upcoming Episode Highlights

The current track focuses on Savi’s struggle to support her mother Sai, who is battling financial hardship. In an emotional sequence, Savi gives her piggy bank savings to Sai, showcasing her maturity and emotional strength at a young age.

A parallel storyline explores Savi’s strained relationship with Neel, especially during a Sports Day event where she feels upset about not having a father figure present. However, Neel comforts her by affirming his presence, hinting at a potential bond that could develop into a father-daughter dynamic.

These heartfelt moments are intended to rebuild viewer connection with characters and regain momentum in the TRP race.

Fans React to Teju’s Absence: Social Media Demands Her Return

Across platforms like Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and YouTube, fans have been vocal about missing Vaibhavi Hankare as Teju. Fan edits, hashtag trends like #BringBackTeju and #GHKKPMWithoutTeju are gaining traction. Some believe her character had unfinished emotional arcs, and her return could bring more depth to the evolving plot.

Whether the creators will bow to public demand remains to be seen, but audience influence has often played a role in Indian TV dramas’ casting decisions.

What Vaibhavi Hankare Said About Her Future Projects

While not confirming anything specific, Vaibhavi mentioned she’s exploring new acting opportunities and is open to web series, films, and other television shows. Her focus, she said, is on choosing roles that challenge her as an actor.

“I don’t want to rush into anything. I want to do something meaningful, whether it’s on TV, OTT, or film. The right script will find me, and I’ll share updates with fans soon,” she assured.

While Vaibhavi Hankare has ruled out any immediate plans to return, her open-ended response leaves room for possibility. Given the show’s volatile TRP trend and social media support for her return, the creators might consider reintroducing Teju if the narrative allows.

Until then, Bhavika Sharma’s emotional portrayal of Savi, along with compelling subplots, will likely remain the show’s focal point as it fights to reclaim its top spot in the ratings chart.

Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Meiin is at a critical juncture. With the TRP numbers under pressure and fan sentiment at an all-time high for beloved former cast members, the next few weeks will be crucial. Whether it’s Savi’s emotional arc, a fresh romantic track, or the reintroduction of characters like Teju, the creators need to strike the right balance between innovation and nostalgia.
