When it comes to romance, true we know it's not a love story but any scene which is shown in any show should be executed well. If a saas-bahu show shows romance then that element should be shown well and you can't excuse bad execution by saying that that's not the point of the show. Sanaya is doing her part to perfection so it's a shame that the background score and even the scripting is letting the scene down as well as other factors. When you have Sanaya Irani the Queen of romance on your set then why not take advantage of that and give some mindblowing romance - after all it would only help with trps and draw audiences.
The male lead is someone I was all out supporting in the beginning. I think he set himself up for a fall by claiming to be an experienced actor with stage and films to his credit. I was willing to give him time to adjust to TV schedules until it became apparant that it's not TV but his lack of acting ability that is the problem. True, I'm watching for Sanaya but quite frankly I expect anyone opposite Sanaya to pull their weight not to be learning how to act.
The ones bashing Sanaya's acting are mostly from outside - the kind of people who ahve too much time on their hands and feel the necessity to wpread their negativity about a show which a lot of them aren't evern watching.
The saas-bahu element shouldn't have been a surprise to anyone considering the working tilte was Modern Bahu. I hope that like this PH's previous show this show will be more a family drama than a typical saas-bahu show with a overpowering saas and a simpering bahu. Sanaya said this show is more about CC's life and to me that means it will be more than just a saas bahu confrontation - honestly though that confrontation is the part I'm really looking forward to. I'm glad it's not going to be an epic romance but with Sanaya Irani and Supriya Pathak there is no reason why with the right creativity this show can't be a classic in it's won genre.
