Exactly... final question: who was the main lead of CB? is it was Amma or Vishaka?😕

Everybody in this show lost the most important part of themselves in the five years.....excepting for one character........and that is Devkiji. The most important part of her life was not her adopted daughter nor her birth daughter, it was Shastriji and she always had him with her. So the lead I think was Devkiji.

Thanks Devika for sharing my views. I don't think Mishti has collected enough Punya in this life yet (I am willing to share mine with you just like I would frequent flyer miles, Beta) so stickies are made and stickies are taken away!

Very interesting. Everyone's character changed in the show. Hers changed too, but hers was the only character that moved from grey towards a kind mother persona. She was always shown to save her skin at the expense of Radhika. Even during Ksma vrat, she stopped Radhika from revealing the truth by emotionally blackmailing her about Shastriji (her husband) without caring that Radhika's husband could die from this unnecessary punishment. I remember several wrote about this point at that time. but, then they changed her to this benevolent mother who was just ineffective in front of her tyrant mother in law, but had loved Radhika a lot. So while the characters of rest were destroyed including amma (who was not as dark as portrayed since the burning bangles) and Vishaka (who was not a prostitute even though her morals were questionable) to Dev, Radhika, Shastriji and Dadi. But, Devki's character was enhanced.

So, from that logic and your logic, it is true that Devki was the lead. Good hypothesis and good way of proving it.

Misti,

I really liked this interview as it was totally related to his feelings about CB and soaps in general. It seemed quite clear from the article that his views were consistent with what forum viewers have been writing for last 1 month.

1. The show was having a good TRP and yet it got closed without any warning to even actors.

2. The male role in soaps is just limited to one or two dimensional. Avinash became so popular as he played Dev very well. Dev was etched so much better than seen in other soaps. He was more normal as opposed to stupidily sacrificing. Also, there was an independence in that character which you don't see. It became one dimensional from 2010 onwards until it got completely destroyed.

3. A soap not only needs to have a better story, but needs to stick with the original theme. As you pointed out in one of the threads, PR is not good as leads are too unrealistic, but it is consistent and involves all the side characters in the story. CB stopped doing that in the second season.

In any case, I feel that Avinash is a good actor especially his voice modulation. During that Malaysia HM track, they show Radhika waking him up after their SR. His voice was very husky indicating that he just woke up. Same thing with Haridwar scene. His expressions of surprise, disbelief, amazement followed by angry comprehension and then finally feeling extremely sad and disappointed that the girl he loved so intensely decieved him so badly. If he was given proper material during Abhay track especially in July and August, he could have done wonders for the show.

Angie I remember during the kshma vrat time loads of people had written about this.....that Devki is protecting her own husband but emotionally blackmailing Radhika from protecting her husband. She would have done that during the time when the wedding truth came out but she was put in a difficult siuation by shastriji and his quest for the truth.......so he chose Shastriji over Vishaka, and choosing Shatsriji meant choosing Radhika. Amma was actually brought down drastically during the burning incident. Before the bride burning happened I used to get angry whenever I used to see amma on the screen but after that incident and the boils, cows and snakes encounter of amma , she became a carricature for me. If only they had kept her as the manipulator and not shown all these illogical stuff. So everyone was brought down excepting for Devkiji.
