To be honest, I don't know what to believe and what not to anymore! I do have a set point of view on her exit from the show but I'm not gonna share that as it's not relevant anyway :)
Point being, I admired Prats as Anandi and would surely check out her new show (if it really is in the pipeline) for the sake of it...but it better be extremely mind blowing for me to stick to it...and I don't mean that offensively...but that's just how my mind works... I told myself that I'd watch Madhubala and Punar Vivah after Geet, and although I did give those shows a chance, I'm still not as hooked to them as I was to Geet. Similarly, I don't think I'll be able to give Prats' new show the same amount of attention that I'm giving BV, and same goes for Sid's next show (whenever that happens)...not that I have a problem with the new AnSh, but my mind is just awfully weird like that and I don't know how to mend that! 😕
Then again...maybe I am on a road to mental recovery because I do enjoy watching Qubool Hai...perhaps almost as much as I enjoyed watching Dill Mill Gayye..and I'm even watching Saraswatichandra nowadays! 😆
As for Prats' success in films...I frankly think that Bollywood has been churning out reels and reels of garbage in the past couple of years so my word of wisdom to all television actors (as if they need advice from me 😆) is to stick to their tv shows instead of venturing into Bollywood and becoming a part of all that mess! I don't mean to sound anti-Bollywood...I'm a hardcore Bollywood fan...but I've just been extremely unhappy with the truckload of nonsense that they've released recently that I'm simply fed up! And that's why it bothers me to see/read about tv actors STILL aspiring to work in films... SO many Bollywood actors have started hosting/judging tv shows and most if not all of them promote their movies on tv too...that just goes to show that tv has a MUCH greater outreach than films...hence, I fail to understand why tv actors wish to be a part of Bollywood, when they're (hard)working in a much better medium!
I heard a lot of praises about Rajeev Khandelwal's shift from Tellywood to Bollywood...but I haven't watched his shows or his movies so I can't comment on that. I thought Prachi Desai did well in Kasamh Se, but I don't think her movies have been all that great! Sushant Singh Rajput is a different case...his shows were amazing and apparently Kai Po Che was mind blowing as well (haven't seen it yet), then there's Barun Sobti and while I love him, I have no idea why he chose to be a part of that film (Mr. Right...some title like that)...that project looks like a flop in the making and I really hope for his sake that the movie surprises me and does well!
I wish the same for Pratyusha...while I prefer that she sticks to tv shows instead of films (that too in the Bhatt camp 🤢), I hope that in any case, she is successful in all her endeavours! 😊
Oh and as for Star Plus...that is one heck of a conniving channel! Ekta Kapoor pretty much ran their channel with all her K-serials and now the tables have completely turned...from all that I've read, Ekta and Star Plus don't go hand in hand anymore! And while I'm ranting about Star Plus, I might as well add that I think it was a disastrous decision on Star's end to get rid of Star One... I don't watch shows on LIfe OK so maybe I'm completely mistaken on how great they are...but I really miss the youth-oriented storylines that Star One had to show...really wish they bring that zest back on television!
