Well, I read about Gashmeer quitting but I was so annoyed by the last publicity stuff that this time I was like - dum hain to quit karke dikha, phir batayenge.
Same here... I myself was damn annoyed by the last publicity stuff. Honestly, I had not expected him to pull such a stunt.
As far as him being approached for Imlie, I can understand your apprehension but what can we do?
The bitter truth is, the market for Episodics is not so wide in ITV and at the end of the day crap sells. Ab commercial offers bhi to accept karni padhti hain actors ko. To hum kya hi keh sakte hain. 😒
I agree completely with you here... From the trp statistical point of view, crap shows are actually fetching trps. Plus we don't get good shows like Beyhadh or other similar ones on a regular basis... and those which are made, rarely fetch high trps. So, at the end of the day, they will have to work in similar shows.
Now my apprehension... I am not exactly sad a lot about this news. I mean just like I said above, sensible shows to mushkil se milte hain, aise shows hi milenge. Its just that since I have watched his first hindi show, I wanted to watch his second show too... or at least a few episodes of it (if the show is not one of my taste). But with Imlie, I couldn't sit through the initial episodes despite the fact that I really wanted to watch Gashmeer that I won't be watching it even for him (if he actually gets cast).
Btw, the motion poster of their MV released just now... Ab dekhte hain MV mein kya milta hai. Keeping my fingers crossed...
