Thanks for the WU Mahi...I don't even know how you got though with it, with all this replacement news out...*SIGH*
Usually I have something to say...but I don't...I would have highly enjoyed writing about AnSh, but I can't today. Too depressed about Prats. I know plenty of people on forum are trying to be positive about replacement, but honestly as a viewer I feel cheated and disappointed. I can't enjoy the romance anymore...you know I could have handled the replacement after the romance track was done and went back into full on BV mode. At that point, I would have been more okay with it, not happy of course, but at least okay because I knew that I at least had that confession and consummation scene that we have been waiting for SO LONG...Now it will be just weird to watch a new girl who didn't do all those scenes with Shiv from the beginning...it feels like complete injustice to AnSh.
I have been trying for the past several hours to be positive about the new girl, but honestly it's like I am lying to myself. It was Pratyusha who had the small little details of Anandi's body language done to a pat...the feelings for Shiv that grew over time that have changed that old body language, but still have remained essentially Anandi...this isn't like when Gopi was replaced (even the original had her consummation scene done before her replacement!) or even Tulsi, Kusum, or Mohnish from KTLK. If anything it was a bad idea when Ekta did it to Tulsi, she ended up having to bring her back, Kkusum just went to a downward slope after being replaced the first time. As for Mohnish Behl, I felt never he did justice to the romancing required in the show, in fact I was uncomfortable watching him uncomfortably romance Nidhi, I was actually glad for the replacement. It was needed (no offense intended to Mohnish fans), but I was more comfortable watching Sharad play Dr. Ashutosh as a viewer as well as the fact that Mohnish barely played Dr. A for 3-4 months. Going back to Gopi Bahu, well frankly she is not iconic or as well developed as Anandi. I think Anandi is one of the few iconic characters on television in today's time where shows don't last longer than 1-2 years. No other female lead character is as well written, developed as Anandi, thanks to the writers and Pratyusha's apt portrayal.
Now AnSh will look like a typical couple, since this new Anandi is taller...I actually liked that Anandi was shorter, petite while Shiv was tall, broad-shouldered...it made them look different from other couples on all other shows. They were not a typical couple, yet everybody fell in love because they were so real and relatable, not only in terms of looks of them together but as well as their character portrayals...
...I am not trying to offend the positive individuals, but honestly esp after watching today's episode, I don't think I can enjoy watching BV as much...I will try to keep watching...probably for Shiv...but honestly I don't think I can enjoy Shiv without his original jodi. It will be too heartbreaking to watch him romance someone new...I rather watch CVs drag AnSh storyline than to see Pratyusha be replaced. I KNOW I KNOW...blasphemy and all, but honestly at least original AnSH magic would be there twinkling like hope throughout the episodes...
...I think I shall be e-mailing Sphere Origins about my deep disappointment. I have already commented on Colors webpage...
This was suppose to be an exciting moment for us as viewers, ab to excitement ka pura hawa nikal chuka hain. Well at least for me. 😕
