I’d just like to say that neither RG or GK have a say in the casting of the show, RG might cause she is senior(role wise, before you think otherwise) and the show revolves around her.
Fans can root for anyone they like, coming up with a bunch of names for a role is a common PR exercise and its the makers who take the final call that works best for them…
Age shaming is a widely prevalent issue in the TV and film industry and though there are minor reforms it will take a while for it to go away completely if it ever will…
I am all for a healthy debate but just a reminder to keep it pleasant…
Definitely the casting directors and the makers are to be blamed for perpetuating age-inappropriate things amongst all the horrid things this show does and shows.
But I do find it a bit myopic to call out x actress's fans for fantasising about a problematic ship in a thread celebrating (knowingly or unknowingly) an age-inappropriate casting involving actor y.
Even if I forget about the actors' age-differences and the limited roles women get due to such castings, Anuj is 50? He is too old to date someome in their 20s-30s. Such skewed dynamics should not be normalised on primetime.
Anupamaa being a horrid person doesn't justify this lol.
Like I said, the third angle and jealousy aspect will work even if they do age-appropriate casting. Get a better actor than RG for all I care. Get Shilpa, Jeni, Divyanka, Hina, Parul by all means.
