I do feel that GK has learned her lesson with QH, and is keeping all the plot lines more balanced so far ... but let the show carry on for a full year or two and remain balanced all the while ... then we will take the final call on that one! QH is definitely not so heavily dependent on the lead pair as IPK was, neither is their chemistry anywhere near as explosive ... but then IPK's lead pair was exceptional in that both were so good looking and such exceptionally good actors that no one else really got a chance to steal the thunder.
Would I like to see Sanaya in another show with GK ... am ambivalent. IF GK can maintain her focus on her story, and not lose track halfway ... IF she keeps the balance between all the characters ... then her story telling skills are unquestionable. And so is her creative team ... direction, music, cinematography - all are excellent. They all contributed to the succes ... it wasn't the actors alone, although they played a big part. But so are many other PHs becoming equally good in those departments, as TV as a medium is growing bigger and bigger, so GK is not the only one now.
Also so far, GK's 3 stories have been variations on the same theme. I don't want a fourth version of the same tale ... I'd rather have a completely different story with different characterization for Sanaya. That's one reason I'm enjoying CC ... after the crazy klutzy Khushi, I love the sensible down to earth Chhanchhan. I just wish the story telling was at the same level.
This topic is going to be shut pretty soon ... it has nothing to do with Chhanchhan 😛
