Put yourself in his shoes

Think of it like this:

You are Farhan Khan. You are completely new to the show industry. You are hired to play the lead of a new show by a PH that believes that you can do well, despite the fact that you are new because they truly believe that you will learn to feel comfortable in front of the camera and with dialogues and what not. Then you find out you are acting opposite Sanaya Irani, the Queen of TV. Suddenly you go into extreme nervous mode. After all, this beautiful actress whom you have to work with everyday is your senior and she is extremely experienced and you have seen the kind of fandom she has. As you're standing in front of this beauty queen during shots, your nervousness is shooting through the roof. You hate the fact that you have to go through so many shots and you can see it's annoying others but after five shoots you go into a nervous breakdown where you could barely think properly which leads to doing more shoots until you get it right. You see Sanaya afterwards and you don't know how to approach her. Somewhere deep down you feel bad because you feel like you're holding everyone else back due to the constant retakes. And then after just a couple weeks you hear rumours that you're being replaced and that hurts you bad but you are determined to work hard. Despite all the negativity towards you, you try to push that all away and you have faith that you will be able to pull yourself through all your insecurities and in the end you will be successful.


You guys the point of this is simply that many are saying he looks awkward in his scenes with Sanaya but please just think. She is his senior. She has years of acting and he doesn't. He probably feels bad and I'm sure he notices the irritation from others while he has to do constant retakes so that's why his nerves are reflected on screen.

I am a person who respects everyone's opinion. What you believe is what you believe. I will not try to change that but please guys, if you don't like him, why do you comment that he sucks and whatnot? I really hope that after reading this people don't attack me. I am not saying anything bad here. I was just trying to draw a picture for you guys. You gotta understand what he's going through and I hope that this convinces you to give him a chance. In my opinion, one month is NOT enough time for such a big improvement in an actor. But I also don't think that this show is only going to last for a couple months. I have high hopes for it, and high hopes for Farhan. ChanMan will be the next big thing in Tellywood so just have faith. 😉

Like your write up. I also think the character of Manav is that of a guy who is awkward with a girl because he does not have the experience of being in love - something that cannot be contemplated in the Borasager family.

That is a very nice observation and very true. Even I didn't think of that. 👍🏼

Everything you've said I've been saying myself until recently. Where I'm losing patience is that I understood that FK was new to TV but he was not new to acting.He has done theatre and 2 films, both mediums which give an actor time to absorb a character and because of that I was willing to give FK time to get to grips with his character. By now he should have understood Manav and have been playing him effortlessly (let's face it it;s hardly a mega challenging character). I understand his being nervous in front of Sanaya but he is not a novice actor and from all accounts Sanaya is very good about making co stars feel at ease...quite frankly if he is so nervous in front of her that he can't do his job then he's in the wrong job. We don't even know if this is just scenes with Sanaya or with others too...how long is it fair to expect others to carry him? When I see his awkwardness I don't see Manav being awkward around CC but FK being awkward around Sanaya. More than FK I blame the person who hired him and I would really love to see FK's audition...I want to see what they saw. I'm not sure a show with Sanaya Irani and Supriya Pathak is one for someone who is still learning to act because their talent makes him look worse than he probably is. Bottom line is that we were told by FK himself that he is an experienced actor and in that case he needs to deliver like an experienced actor.

Agree, he is not going to improve without support!!! But he needs to do it before the show loses its views. I know there is a lot of pressure on the poor guy. I understand that but there is a time limit in which the viewers will be tolerant.

I was and am one of his supporters but he is not new to acting. Like Jaya said he did a drama and 2 films, this should give him experience. He is not experienceless.

Some actors need time to get into characters and FK is the same. I agree that FK is awkward with Sanaya!!! Which is why I really think there needs to be an actors/ cast bonding trip where they can just bond and have fun and feel comfortable. Then maybe FK will realize that Sanaya is just like him, learning acting/skills/tips from people/actors around her.

I am sure FK will do good with time, but people might not wait which is a problem!!!

I am in the middle right now!!! I like FK but then again he needs to improve!! I am trying to be as patient as possible!!!
