Thanks a lot for sharing your experience at the CB sets, meeting with Aavi and Ruby, and the pictures.😊😊

I am wondering why they are dismantling the set? or were they creating the "Agra look"? Did you get to see any shots being taken or get to talk to the creatives?

😊

Hopefully they enjoy their time shooting and leave their work in the sets when they go back home to their own lives.



That is if they have any life left 🥱 The day I met them, Rubina was on the set since 6am and that too after shooting outdoors all day in the blazing hot sun the previous day (Shan death episode). When Avi was called to shoot late in the evening, they said it would be a miracle if they pack up by 9pm 😲. Their normal shift is 12 hrs, but they end up shooting beyond that. They said only 20-25% of what they shoot gets televised 😲. What a waste of resources! 😔

Misti, you are so right about this. The channels try to incorporate one formula into everything which totally destroys uniqueness. These unique shows - CB. Agle Janam were a result of launch of colors channel which brought in different type of shows. Now, those shows are also running like typical soaps. Hence, Zee is doing the same. Even Agle Janam which was a fight of one low-caste girl against the system has been going downhill since March as they are now including typical type of stories diluting the original story. I think the channel was genuninely going to show the ONS between Dev and Vishaka until they got tonnes of letters and had to cancel their idea. The channel doesn't care if a show goes downhill. If the ratings go down badly, they will just bring another show in its place. Even with Agle Janam, they were planning a bigger leap as their show got into a rut because of a stupid track, but eventually settled with about 7-8 month leap. Hopefully, they will not go beyond that in CB and just stick to small leap. At this time, the new character is not brought as a full time parallel lead because they are looking at TRPs and letters. If they get angry letters, they will limit her exposure.
That's why I liked last week's SBB in which Avi was making fun of his new character stating that he has no idea about his name or anything else. I think that kind of sense of humor is needed to act in these TV soaps. Like you, I found their comments especially Avi's more entertaining than the actual episode. At this time, these SBB stuff combined with your commentry is more hilarious. In fact, if I read your commentry and watch the episode, then I just get entertain a lot. I know where to fast forward (thanks to the update) and where to look for funny scenes.

dg86, thank you so much for sharing your experience meeting Avina with us. We all feel like we were there with you. Thanks also for posting the photos of Avi and Rubi; they both look so sweet and beautiful!
I am glad that you also met some other very talented cast members. I pray daily that the CVs and Zee execs realize what a diamond in the rough their CB is and they really make an attempt to clean the mess and repair the show to bring it back to its old glory days. My heart goes out to Avina and the rest of the cast (especially veteran artistes and like Rita ji and Rajive ji) who have to work in such unorganized, haphazard conditions. My gosh, this stuff would never fly in the US! Here even the small time actors are part of the SAG union and don't put up with any nonsense. I truly hope Zee treats Avina and the cast of CB with respect. I am hoping against hope that the CVs wake up and get a clue. Seriously, someone from this forum who is based in Mumbai should go apply for the Creative Head position ASAP and get the ball rolling to do damage control! Well, I've ranted enough, but thank you again for sharing your amazing experience with us all!

Why3, these Cvs are notorious for lack of planning and continuity. I got to see it first hand. It was Avi's day off and he was not even planning to be on the sets. He came there only because that was the only place I could meet Rubina and him together as she was shooting. All of a sudden, without warning, late in the evening, they wanted him to go tor makeup and get ready for a shot 😲. It is to Avi's credit that he can mentally adapt to these kind of situations and give a commendable performance in every episode.
It is my impression that the channel has the ultimate say in the storyline and other major decisions regarding the serial. Regardless of who is in control of the show, one thing is for sure - the actors have very little say in what goes on. Good actors have learnt to detach themselves from these things and focus on their performance. That is their only option as they are bound by contract.



wow!! tatz amazing.......avi came tere jus to meet rubi???? ☺️
