Neil- was the trade off worth it? - Page 2

I hear you. The actor has left me shocked with the brazen hostility.

In fact I am very sure, the couple would've got a lot of love & affection if they had been more professional.

The recent ITA function presented a really sorry situation. Again, that the channel would allow this behaviour is really pathetic.

He doesn’t care until he gets his paycheque on time. .

What happened at ita?

Ayesha didn't end up going. The set people said she was unwell. But she was shooting that day and the day after. So noone knows the real reason. It was a huge event with lot of industry bigwigs. Would've been good for Ayesha.

Neil and Aishwarya 🤣 they brought no award but bezzati by anchor who call her Bacchi and Aishwarya confirm it Mai to bachi hu😃

Starplus might be promoting virakhi but audience don't want to see...😂

After ghum we will see in which show they will come together? Abhi to TRP multi h coz Ayesha Singh hai.

An Open Letter to Neil Bhatt:

I did not know about the actor Neil Bhatt till I started watching Ghum by accident and fell in love with Sai and Virat. Back then it was a delight to watch you and Ayesha together onscreen and whenever there was a Sairat scene, you both gave your best and set the screen on fire 🔥 with your sizzling chemistry.

Then I came to know that you got engaged to the PL which made me inquisitive about how things will work out onscreen with the future story and execution.

That’s when I made a big mistake to follow your interviews, your SM and of course discussions about the show online- India Forum, Twitter etc.

My only intention was just to get some insight into the real people who were Sai and Virat on TV.

And that’s when I came to know that there were so many more faithful fans of Sairat out there just like me, who loved you and Ayesha the same way they loved Sai and Virat.

And you were very supportive and cordial with your FL and Also at the same time, acknowledged and appreciated Sairat too. You also gave sensible interviews back then.

But as time passed, I could also see how you have changed as a person outside the screen.

You stopped appreciating Sairat, the very reason due to which you got so many fans - and also pulling down fans publicly on National TV by painting a horrible pic of them as a bunch of jerks who are jealous of your real life marriage.

That was the most absurd thing I have ever heard from anyone.

I don’t know how you started having such delusions that anyone would have any problem with your life offscreen.

For some reasons (which only you know), suddenly your acting onscreen with FL started suffering. It became so bad that it was too glaring in your scenes with Sai.

You even started having trouble with genuine feedback given by the viewers and fans.

I don’t want to go on and on about how badly things deteriorated in the last one year, you know that better than us viewers.

The icing on the cake was when the entire plot got rewritten to give your real life partner extra ss by compromising the very essence of Sairat, which was the USP of the show.

And the trade off that you accepted (there might be other theories but I believe you agreed to this trade off) is complete butchering of Virat and sidelining of Sai’s journey.

This has indeed infuriated the faithful followers of your show and has left a very bad taste in the mouth.

So what did you gain in this trade off?

90% of Virat / Neil fans were also Sairat and Sai fans. Due to your character’s butchering, nobody wants Sairat anymore.

You lost those fans due to your offscreen shenanigans too. You deliberately started sidelining Ayesha’s contribution in your interviews .

You think people cannot see what you are doing?

End result- Majority of these fans are now Sai fans only. They hate Virat.

There was a time when Sairat trended- not anymore.

There was a time when Neil/ Virat trended, especially those episodes where you performed dances- Not anymore

There was a time when Sairat cakes used to be sent by fans - Not anymore.

There was a time when your offscreen pics were shared and retweeted multiple times - but now nobody cares.

There was a time when fans used to wait for your offscreen segments with Ayesha - Not anymore.

You have alienated not only Virat fans but also Neil fans in your trade off.

Your acting is mostly bland these days, sorry to say, even with child artists, you are sometimes bland.

In the beginning, I felt you had the potential to become a bankable TV star, but not anymore.

I, for one, will never watch any of your future work ever again. Actually I feel bad because you just wasted away your potential.

One last word - You seemed to be having some weird delusions that fans moved away from you because of your marriage to Aiswarya.

That’s ABSURD .

Fans don’t care about what you do with your real life or who you marry- but it really becomes a huge problem for them when they emotionally invest in your show and YOU YOURSELF ruin it by mixing your Reel life with your Real life and hurt their feelings.

I am almost at the verge of giving up on Ghum the way the story is now shaping up. It’s now so boring and predictable. All Thanks to You Neil - The viewers will never forgive you!

This unprofessional behavior has made so many fans disappointed. Look at Gaurav, Shahir, Arjun, Nakul all are married actors still balance everything so beautifully.

Neil definitely saw this coming, He himself confessed this on SJ. In the initial phase of the show he don’t reply to Aish’s proposal coz he knew personal equations might ruin the show n exactly same thing happened post their wedding. Looks like all these things are in Mrs Bhatt’s control n he can’t disobey that..

Can you share clip?

There are enough married actors in the industry who have been very professional in their conduct on and offscreen. But clearly NB doesnt know how to balance his professional commitments with his real life.

He has made it obvious that he is deliberately staying away from Ayesha which would be fine if it didnt impact the audience experience and expectations from the plot and offscreen bytes for show promotion. However his behavior has compromised both these things.

NB showed potential and his performance used to make audience root for Sairat. But he has also destroyed Sairat with his poor performance and his unprofessional conduct.

Whats worse is that makers have been accommodating it all and have even changed the plot to suit these offscreen dynamics at the cost of essentially killing the essence of the show.

Even if they had verbatim copied KD like they were doing earlier, the plot would have been more tolerable than what they have accomplished now with surrogacy kaand, VP marriage, VP pheras and honeymoon, VP having child together and VP going unpunished for everything.

Whats worse is that audience warned the makers, gave them feedback, agitated, sent messages, and even gave enough ideas to salvage the plot at every step along the way and gave them umpteen chances to take feedback but they didnt care about any of it. Rather they give fake precaps and promos which are to bait audience but ultimately deliver only cringe.

Even with NB, audience gave healthy criticism. When audience started pointing out that they were sidelining Ayesha and people were upset, if they had done damage control and been careful to ensure that audience expectations are fulfilled then there would have been goodwill for them for all their personal milestones and appearances, projects. But they have spited the audience with their conduct.

Today the situation is such that many of the people who used to enjoy his dance, performance and his bytes are completely averse to any mention of him, block content related to him on SM wherever feasible and do not watch any of his other projects. He has brought this on himself. And he doesnt seem to care because he has assumed that people who criticize are all "trolls" but that is a highly misused word in this context.

Staying alive! 🤣🤣—- this thread! Loved the thread! I totally agree with this!! 👍🏼😳👍🏼😳😳
