Susan,

For us here, Bhakti is just a virtual person.

The only person who seems to have seen and known Bhakti for real is Karen. That should be the start point for you and as she suggested, your networking act may help get to the bottom of things.

Regards.

Gosh! It is so sad to read and hear what has happened to Bhakti. She was like a little sister, so sweet and kind. Hope she is fine and safe with God's grace.

I agree. VD needs to get fit, though his schedule is gruelling.

The other thing that has been running through my mind..my mom who lives in Mumbai, told me there were reports of him throwing tantrums to the PH, because his character is so popular. Watching the few off screen videos, he seems to be more like a kid, DD also keeps saying this, so don't know how far the reports are true.
On the other hand, I did bring this up in the media articles thread about how he's taking so many long holidays. i don't remember any Tv actor taking so much time off. They all work like crazy right? Do I sound mean and heartless.
Every profession has its low points and high points. When you decide to work in a particular field, obviously you get into it with a certain amount of SWOT analysis. 😆..Even film stars get back to work immediately after their wedding and very often their honeymoon happens much much later.

This is a very personal choice, and I feel I am out of line in even talking about it. But seeing the hurried manner the episodes have been shot since AR's intro, I wonder if he is insisting on these long breaks and the PH is forced to comply. Just a thought.
My conclusion: someone needs to give Vahbizz a dhasoo role so that she gets busy😆.

I did not notice his weight gain may be you guys have better eyes than myself and also that he is effectively hiding it under his loose fitting T-shirts/outfits. After reading your post, I felt like you actually read my mind😆 I think it was peaches who posted the coffee with Karan interview of Ekta Kapoor and I have to say that despite her arrogance and haughtiness she had some valid points and one of those was that it was always the male leads who don't get the concept of what it is to work on a daily soap when the female leads to the most part accept the terms and learn to live with it or work around it. I think that fits perfectly to Vivian. He was clearly not happy with the channel's decision to telecast the show 6 days a week and if I remember correctly he even snapped at one of the reporters when they were shooting at 1 AM for the Rajesh Khanna/Mumtaz song sequence. It is understandable to be irritable but why snap at the reporter who was actually polite and did not ask anything silly or stupid. I do believe name/fame might have gotten to him a little bit as well. I was quite surprised with his response few months back when the reporter asked how do you like working for a show that is titled with the name of the female lead. That was a tricky question but his response was that as far as he is concerned the show is about a self centered individual RK and he is happy to play RK who influences or impacts the life of Madhubala. He did not say the bold and underline statement and I felt that was kind of odd.


You are not mean and heartless, but perfectly within limits to express your opinion. Here in US, I was listening to the talk show radio while driving and they were just ripping into one of the hosts named John Stewart. He signed up for hosting "Daily show with John Stewart" and decided to take a break of 2 weeks to tour Iran for his documentary. The channel found a substitute during that period but the radio people's argument was that if you sign up for a daily show you show up to work on it daily otherwise don't do it and don't call the show that. I thought that was cold and harsh but that is the blunt truth. VD had planned for his wedding quite sometime and hence the PH banked enough episodes before he left for his wedding. I am assuming he did not give enough notice for his HM and hence the hodge podge of the episodes from the PH where they have to make do with the actors whom they have at hand. Vahbhiz is probably getting bored out of her mind staying home all by herself. How much can she shop and tweet? She needs to take up a new hobby and stop nagging him because if he gives into every whim of hers then he will jeopardize his career.

@ALL - The show is a mess here with VD being gone and there is VD/Vahbhiz HM moments being shown in the SBS video. Who cares? Keep it to yourself. The fans are pulling their hair apart and this is what we need from her. The woman does not know the meaning of privacy! why everything have to be pulicized. Clearly the fans are dejected, because the poor guy tweeted "I am back" and no one even responded back to say "Welcome Back".

@KT: Agree with everything you said. VD should realize that the world does not revolve around him and the way he acts will affect his future prospects. Same with Vahbiz. Isn't he already in Ekta's bad books because of the way he behaved in PKYEK after he got engaged? Both husband-wife should realize that there are bounds between personal and professional and they should always be separated in the entertainment industry.. A pretty/handsome face can only get you so far.
Agree with you that Vahbiz should find a new role- the marriage is done so she has all the free time in the world now. Though she has been out of the entertainment industry for a while, so who knows if she can even swing a major role now. Maybe she should look into opening a boutique-seems to be a good way to pass the time😆
Poor DD- all this time and she has had few/no vacations. Maybe Madhu should take a few days off and RK and Sultan can brood in her absence.

Priya - fully agree. From when that comparison between RK-Sultan came up, I've been thinking about this.😊

VD's personal life:
Yes, he has every right to go on vacation. The thing is people should not confuse VD with RK. I tried asking people... how can he take off for 15 days within 2 months!! Someone responded back saying even in a corporate world, one is entitled to a month's leave. I left it at that...did'nt want to get into an argument.
Yes, in the corporate world, one month in a year is granted. But esp in cases like marriage,one takes a full month off. Or if it is not marriage, you divide the leave in such a way that work is not affected. In every scenario, a true professional takes care that work is not affected.
That is my problem with VD. Beyond a point, i don't care what he does. I am a fan of RK, not VD. He needs to get that straight. People keep comparing Laagi Tujhse Lagan but forget that Mishal quit the show because he was getting bollywood offers. Where is he now??! he quit at the peak of the show.
SO career decisions inn such a field have to be taken with care. Look at Karan Singh Grover and Jennifer Winget, both are acting in popular daily soaps, wonder how they manage their personal life
As for Vahbizz, I honestly don't get the right vibes from her, though she comes across as cool and casual...but that is his personal life.

Production house:
They need to be more focused on getting parallel stories so that the leads don't feel burnt out. And they've gone bonkers with this track. Actually Sultan and Madhu make a good pair, but they're being shoved down our throats, which is why the protests!!

ok, have to go. I have to say I find DD a thorough professional, she portrays herself to be carefree and party types, but she is dead serious about her work commitments. I like that about her.

ETA: After the above rant, I have to add that we said the same thing for those lame hugs and we were all sheepish after we realised it was a part of the plot. So all this may be a red herring after all😊

@Soundarya/@AA - Both of your posts had some really good points and that's why I am glad that I could talk/kid freely here without any fear of getting bashed. Thank you Shri for opening this thread for us and glad I made you laugh with my post. It's so hard these days with the way the show is going.

As far as vacation goes, every work environment is different some are very strict and some lenient. From my experience, it has always been that you need to make sure that you work in not affected when you are on vacation. That is the professional courtesy that they expect from you. The maximum that I had taken was three weeks when I went to visit my parents but I had accrued my days throughout the year by not using it even when I was gravely ill. I would just work from home and not take the day off. I had given notice to my boss the beginning of the year itself stating that I will be using up my vacation all at once during year end. I made sure I trained a person to be my backup when I am gone and left him an emergency contact number if he has to get hold of me. The point I am trying to make is the level of planning that I had done with my boss's help is pretty huge and it all worked out it in the end. So, I am assuming that even though he can't do this level of planning but atleast should have given the PH enough time to come up with the episodes that does not look like they have been put together at the last minute.


@DD - She looks like she is ready to party all the time but when it comes to work she is definitely very dedicated and thoroughly professional. I remember reading VD's tweet posted in MF that they shot the unweding lake scene at 3 AM 7 degree temp and he also made sure to talk about that in colors chat. He kind of likes to bragg a little I guess but DD never discloses her work schedule or nature of work unless she is questioned by the reporter(s). All her co-actors always say that she is very professional and we can see that clearly when she did not take the day off on her birthday and was shooting non-stop to make up for VD's slack when he took 2 weeks off for his wedding. Not that we all take off on our B'Days but she could have taken the day off if she wanted to but she didn't. I respect her for her work ethics and VD really needs to learn that from her. He is young and should not burn any bridges with any PH for that matter regardless of whether it is Balaji or Nautanki films because the words spread and pretty soon PHs will think twice before giving him any new offers in the future.
