I too was shocked to see some of the offensive comments in the forum when I joined in in June. To think women can think that way about other women was an eye-opener.

Among the comments and reaction to the same, I came across one that made a lot of sense.

Someone said that the main issue was Aham was being paired with a newcomer when someone with his recently acquired popularity(post MB) should have been paired with an actress who is well-known.

It also implied that his rising popularity needed the impetus of an established actress...not a rank new-comer that won't add to his stature.

That the new-comer stole the show from most of the established lot is another story altogether.

But this sort of rancour for a lead is something new. Usually, it's the fans of the established main leads that are at loggerheads with each other. But, here, it was something else entirely.

I mean, they were mad at Radz for interfering between Sam and Arjun. They felt she was breaking them up...not caring a wit that she was actually saving her from sure disaster.
That's how blinded they were...it was obviously not about the characters here but about actors.

But one thing I noticed was, Aham even after his recent popularity and proving himself in MB, when I watched DYM I felt in many places he could have done better. Because in many places, for e.g., the scene where he scold Radhika for spoiling his shirt in lonovala trip,to show his anger he was just grinning his teeth, the accident scene where the police comes there also he could have done better, and in comic scenes. Than SP who told that DYM was an experiment, but it helped him clearly where he can improve and where he was good at. so anyway, its a plus for him to do DYM. It was like a quick test for him in main lead role, where he want to improve, I am cent percent sure that he might have observed it and work on it as he is sincere and committed to his work.

yeah, that was shock the actor who is playing positive role getting bashed for postiveness. yes, sadly it was more than character, to actors.

and yeah ppl were soo immature (i'm talking about both fandoms not just one) the ppl who hated on kash and the ppl who hated on monica - it's immature and just not needed. if they liked one couple over the other that is understandable but putting down one actor for the other is something else

i wish fans took the show as entertainment and enjoyed the incredible cast (DYM is one of the few shows i know that has such a talented cast cannot say how impressed i am with casting choice for the 4 leads) instead of wasting energy on hating

I agree, Aham is still a little rough around the edges. I haven't watched him in MB but did see him in his earlier show ASA. I remember wishing that he was the lead over the actual lead. But he was very one dimensional in that show...a little stiff and angry most of the time. Which is why when I heard he was in MB, i didn't bother to see it. I didn't think he would suit Karna's role.

So, even when I watched his entry in DYM, I just flipped the channel. But he grew on me just as Monica did. While Kashmira and shravan struck me as Ace actors immediately.

Aham does intense scenes with elan but in others he is a little lacking. Sometimes his expressions are stiff when something else is called for. I think he and Monica are a director's actors. They need to be told what to do and be molded by the director while Kashmira and Shravan are natural and instinctive actors...the director lets them do it without interference.

I watched a few episodes of Choti si Zindagi where Aham plays a role of a tapori. He couldn't carry it off with conviction. He sounded like a St Stephen student playing a role on stage on Annual Day.

DYM could be the best thing that happened to him and Monica. It was a training ground to develop their acting chops and as a lead, he was very convincing. Monica still has a fair way to go, especially in her dialogue delivery but she is a fast learner and I am looking forward to seeing her in a strong author-backed role soon.
