Glass half full, half empty. Perspective. Sanaya was nominated because 4 Lions put her in for Best Actress, given she probably had more potential than the actress who portrays Zoya. On the other hand, where Barun was an obvious choice, KSG also has a massive fan following and he (believe it or not) is Qabool Hai's face, hence 4 Lions nominated him instead of Barun.
Sakshi will win because she IS a good actress. Hands down. Not because Sony is making her win. Sanaya has a huge fan following, but the main awards always go to a female lead who somewhat is integrated into a "dramatic" role so to say, therefore her chances will diminish in front of dramatic "actresses" like from other saas-bahu shows. Male actors on the other hand win because of performance, I don't see why any of the men who won today DID NOT deserve to win and why Barun DID NOT deserve to win last year.
Sakshi won last year without any dramatic rona dhona or Saas-Bahu stuff ... Her role was that of an independent and strong girl, still is after all the mess up Ekta did with her character.
As for popularity ... Is online forum the only yard stick, woh bhi IF ?? What about TRP ? That comes from all over India ... Initially it was said that only few thousands decides TRP so not countable but even after digitization DABH is raking in TRP's ... and I don't think there will be even slightest bit of change in TRP score board after the final digitization either. So the abuse and gyaan which TRP viewers are receiving from the lovely intellectual and redefined online fan following is amazing to say the least.
There are people like Sarada, Ash and Ragini (or whoever here I missed) who watch shows regularly on TV only ... TRP viewers ... So I can assume its a balanced out situation and DABH is doing something right in its making of the overall product no matter how cringe worthy I may find it.
All said and done Deepika Singh is not an actress to be awarded neither Gia Menek ... I wish Shena Wagh aka Ratan of Veera won ... She is amazing but I guess Indian Telly has yet not reached where they can award an actor who is playing a mother of two as Best Actress.
