Dear Sanaya

We love you as a brilliant actress and admire you respect you and appreciate your honesty and love your interaction with your peers and co stars.

With sudden closing of your ex show and the magic with your ex co star we as fans never had a proper closure and ending .

To this day we watch your ex show on you tube and thanks to lovely shy and other fans we adore your vms i just saw jeena laga hoon please watch it with your friend your ex hero and you will see why we want you 2 still together it still gives me butterflies in my stomach and i am in my middle age.

We know you wanted a change and chose chan chan but as fans and my mother who adores you still do not like to watch cc but prefers your old show.

You are the most beloved of all international fans.

I took sony only for you but just watch any romantic scenes or UB and yours drama in CC.

It feels that this show is forced and every one is acting too hard the soul is missing from this soap.

We know you are giving it your best shot we will support you but please replacement of ml etc will not work . Fans are being too harsh and both of you are looking very sweet together.

Please just give a joint interview so all rumors are rested.

Work and end this soap in your usual graceful manner then decide what your fans and you would like to do.I give it end of year for this show.

a very powerful love story with full on romance with your ex hero would be ideal if ex show 2 comes we will be over the moon we still want it in our hearts .

I do like music dances which you do let cc be a fun stuff so no more whining for the poor hero its the show which lacks punch take care and I will always regret that you did not do JDJ with Salman you would have won and it would have taken you to another step any way no use crying over what can not be.

Please be healthy and safe do not stress wishing you all the best in the world.

Wise ones always learn through life's experiences.

half of it i agree.. nothing can beat IPK 😃

that having being said I truly hope that male lead is replaced and u get an actor to work with every day!!

i pray to god that the number of retakes that is draining ur and Surpiya ji and everyone's energy would be removed soon with the replacement!!

And hopefully with a good actor opposite u, the creatives will write more interesting and challenging scenes for u both and we will have a wonderful time watching u both!!

Wish u all the best and keep having interviews with Srman who I adore by now and then when the new male lead comes do have wonderful interviews with him!😳

Hope this time u will get lucky to get a guy u & the rest of the cast can work well professionally and doesn't become detrimental to ur carier..😳

And hopefully if the above happens the show will go on for another 1+ years and then after that as the TM said we might all become the luckiest set of fans and we will get he season 2 of our magical show back with jsut the two of u!! 🤗


ur well wisher Sannu doll!love u loads 😃


@TM : nice topic agree to everything except keeping the current ML lead on 😃

Edited ...
I understand Sanaya's reasoning for taking up this show ... and applaud her for her guts to step out of her comfort zone and attempt something new and different.

I agree the execution of the show needs a lot of polish, however the basic concept is interesting, and the latest promo has got me very interested about what is going to happen now ... as far as I remember, NEVER has a girl been shown on Indian telly to have the guts to stand up and break off her own engagement ... this is a first and I am waiting to see the circumstances in which it happens. I am also looking forward to seeing a saas bahu clash with a difference ... this is what was promised, and if it is truly executed with a difference, this is what I want to watch.

The male lead is not the only reason for the low TRPs, however, judging from the off screen segments, he is uncomfortable with the rest of the cast to quite an extent, and they with him ... that, coupled with his lack of screen presence and inability to connect with the audience in over two months of the show being on air, makes me wish for a replacement. It's okay if actors don't gel off screen as long as they perform onscreen ... and sometimes actors get along offscreen but don't look good together on screen ... here neither do they gel off screen, nor does the male lead impress in any major scenes on screen ... and he has had quite a few. So I am very much in favor of a replacement.

I am sufficiently intrigued and interested in the proposed story, and even more than that, in the faith both Sanaya and Supriya had in the narration, which is what made them sign up. If the makers are able to translate that vision on screen, I want to watch this show ... it shows a girl after my own heart, one I can relate to.

After this show ends, whenever it does, I would love to see Sanaya again in a romantic show, in a mature love story, not necessarily with her previous costar, but with ANY good actor ... I think she can create magic with any good actor. Creating magic with a block of wood is a little more difficult but she has managed to make the romantic scenes in this show bearable ... which is quite a feat, considering she doesn't have much support from her costar.

I agree with some parts and disagree with some. IPK is a magic that cannot be recreated and nothing can take its place in my heart and just like you, I would love to see SaRun together onscreen again. 😳


Now coming to Chhanchhan, I agree that something is lacking in the show right now. The promotions were done superbly, the concept sounded great but somehow the execution isn't great and it just doesn't seem as exciting as it should have been. No matter what the genre is, soaps need zing which is missing here.


I would have loved to see her in another love story and believe me, if the chemistry and story line were good, I would have watched and liked it too. But I also understand Sanaya's POV and her desire to do something different. She is a talented actress and a very versatile one, until now all the character's she has done been different from each other and that is a very challenging thing to do. In a creative field, people always want to try out different things, prove that they are capable of doing a variety of things and avoid getting typecast. It's natural that she would want to experiment and display her range. Even though her last two shows were love stories, the characters she played were polar opposites. She was offered other shows alongside Chch. As far as I know there was a romantic show too but we don't know whether the character would have offered her something new and satiate the artist Sanaya Irani.


She mentioned in her interviews that Vipul Shah narrated the story to her in such a way that she couldn't have said no. Sometimes, stories and concepts look good on papers. Maybe, the show was conceptualized in an exciting way but the creatives/technical crew has not been able to execute it in the exact same way.


But I watch the show and want it to do well for Sanaya and hope the makers work on the script, characters and make it more exciting because Sanaya is putting her heart and soul into it. And I also feel the show is slowly becoming more interesting and will get better after Chanman marriage. 😊


So yeah, the ML isn't the only problem in the show BUT it is certainly a big problem which we can't deny. CC and UB are the main protagonists of this show; having said that, Manav is the third most important character in the show. I feel the makers had taken this character for granted and failed to realize the importance of casting the right actor at the right time. Farhan is not connecting with a major section of the audience which does impact the show. While we enjoy CC-UB scenes because of the two powerhouses SI and SP, we don't feel the same way for Chanman scenes although nothing lacks from Sanaya's side.


Maybe he should started off with supporting characters or done some kind acting workshop before taking up acting as a career. It would have helped him.


I don't quite understand how giving joint interviews would help. Lots of actors don't give interviews together and it's not like SI and FK don't give interviews together. They do.


If there are talks about replacement between the PH and channel and they are seriously considering a replacement, then what will they say in a joint interview?😕 Give a confirmation about it or brush it off?


I also hope you're not expecting that if FK and Sanz start giving more interviews, people will start liking FKs acting because he's acting skills have nothing to do with off screen segments.


I understand your sentiments though and that you have Sanaya's best interest in heart. Nice topic.

after a show like IPK and the sizzling chemistry between the lead pair
any show that Sanaya would have taken
time would have required for the audiences to adjust to it as comparison to the previous show would be made
so i think a little more patience is required
let the actual track start and see how it is executed

Thank you TM for your post and understand your sentiments as a Sanaya fan. Following is my take on things.


Sanaya,

Since this show started, there has been a debate raging here about this show and why you signed it. Everything I am writing now, I must have said before at one time or another in this forum.

I think you are a very bright, hard working, intelligent woman who knows what she wants in life and where she wants to head in her career. I was very impressed by how much thought you have put into choosing each role. Be it Gunjan (the demure Indian girl), to Khushi ( the bubbly, small town girl). Even before you took on lead roles, you deliberately chose smaller roles to hone your acting and language skills. That shows preparation and planning.

The lead roles you chose before Chhanchhan, was based on trying to expand your repertoire, rather than trying to gather popularity. However, hard work paid off and shows became hit, along with people realizing your talent and range. You believed in yourself and kept moving on, despite being stereotyped because of your looks etc. You forged ahead and made people eat their words.

Even with Chhanchhan, you thought of all the pros and cons before signing. You knew very well that there will be comparisons, disappointments with the genre, but you still went with your guts. I appreciate the fact, that you want to expand the kind of roles and shows you want to do, the fear of failure has not paralysed you.

You chose a reputed production house, a big channel for your new show, and now you are giving it 100% without being distracted by other offers. That is the most you can do, the rest has to be handled by the production team, creatives, and other actors over which you have no control. It also shows that you are a cooperative actor and do not interfere in other departments, which some are falsely accusing you of now.

Yes, the show is on a shaky ground, and you must be knowing of it, but every serial is team work and for a show to be a hit all departments will have to perform equally well. We hope that this will happen soon. More than anyone, you must be praying for it as after all this is your baby, and you are the one putting in your sweat, blood and time into this. You got it right, when you said in your last interview that viewers have to "connect" with the story of Chhanchhan.

I will never fault you for choosing this show, infact I hope you get opportunities to experiment even more in future and play varied characters, because the key to growth in one's craft is to learn and perform new things. The only thing I wish for you is that your endeavours are complimented by equally talented production teams and writers.

All the people who are criticizing you for choosing this show should know that there is no actor/ actress on planet who has not seen failure and hindsight is 20-20. Nobody signs a serial or film knowing it is bad. Sanaya, I am glad that you are not allowing your popularity or other people's expectations imprison you. You are trying to carve a niche for yourself in an industry and space which has very limited choices for actors.

It also true a large chunk of these critical people are your well-wishers and want the best for you and get disappointed when things don't work for you.

Hope the Indian television industry also changes the format of shows and story telling styles so that talented actors like you get more creative satisfaction.

In the last few months you have had some knocks, but you emerged out of them gracefully with your head held high, so nothing can hold you down for long. I hope this show does well eventually, but in case it does not, I am sure you will be back with something else. There is always a takeaway in every experience, and failures are mere stepping stones.

No matter what happens with this show, your hard work and dedication is easy to see and is being recognized. You are like Captain of a ship, you will sail or sink with it but never give up. Attagirl!

Good Luck with Chhanchhan and hope to see you in many more avatars in future.

u r absolutely correct
and she also said she dont want to recreate that epic chemistry

even if she choose a romantic show wit any actor other than ex costar , i dont think crazy fans(as another member said in another post, m also a crazy fan) will get adjusted to that.

So lets thank Sanaya for not recreating that epic chemistry.

Well. .everyone wants to do anew in their career and Sanaya didnt want to do the same as her earlier show..and the bert part is that i havnt compared this show with her earlier ones bcoz she hasnt given me any opportunity to do so. .i can see only chhanchan in her and not a trace of khushi. .i am totally out of it

But i think she doesnt took a wrong decision in chosing Chhanchhan. .the story is light hearted. .
Whatever that has to be changed is litl bit of direction and improve ML's acting skills( better they change)

Whatever it is i am content with watching San onscreen and ll watch till the last epi
