I think now that we have a strong grey female like maya around. it's not correct to say that grey female leads are not accepted by the audience.i think if for a character to be accepted they have to be well written and well acted.if this post is simply about why ishana was not accepted.then the answer is simply I think the actress was not that good and even when she was good and created interest in her character she was not shown in the show. the cvs hoodwinked fans of the promo who thought it was going to be male headed show and turned it in to an anika show. so unfortunately a proper grey character cannot be shown on a one woman show where the cvs only have time to show one woman's domination. only the leading lady and her villains can be shown. grey characters are of no interest to the cvs

I agree when I saw the promos thought finally the Indian telly is showing based upon men, now I feel cheated this show has become Annika show.

There are very few proper writers on Indian tv who can write grey characters and you need a very strong actor to pull of those shades.

It's not only abt Ishaana but grey FLs all over d Indian shows. I made dis post wen Saumya was hinted to turn grey n there began some posts n comments on how she can't become grey as she is cute, bubbly, love angel, married blah blah blah. I know Ishaana was butchered like showing unapologetic conwoman one day n then showing her conwoman due to compulsion. So it's not abt Ishaana but any show where grey FLa are bashed. I wrote in my post dat not just grey FL but also DO who only thinks any herself are called disgusting names like SP' s 5:30 slot show.
