They knew the facts about BALH and so I feel like they took a step back during the days when it was imminent that BALH would shoot up, and actually used these weeks cleverly to deal with Bua. I am sure they know by now that Bua is not working for the story dynamic, but they also needed to build a legitimate track for her to get her dues, and for that she had to have ample screen space. After Parshant and Arpita, she is the biggest threat to Aarti and Yash's relationship because she is the only person who is consciously working against it, while everyone else essentially wants it to work. So they needed her to be conquered, at least temporarily, for the AarYa + kids equation to really take off. And so they are cleverly using these weeks when they knew numbers would be down anyway, to get this necessary but unpleasant bit of the story over with, I guess.
The thing that BALH has going for it is that it had a HUGE following in its heyday, and even though the story declined, the pairing of Ram and Priya made a huge impact on people and they continued loving it. Who wouldn't be excited to see the child of their favourite onscreen couple? And it is to the little actor's credit that she has lived up to the hype. The sensitive thing about a leap, though, is that the characterisations have to be maintained and the supporting tracks have to be equally strong. If the writers of BALH manage to keep the story focused on the leads, positive and fun as it use d to be in its heyday, and not get dragged back down into contrived MUs created by third parties, then PV has a really tough climb to the top!
