For NM-SC: Because talent deserves to be noted - Page 4

but koi nahin, at least SC knows how much we all love her😳

@Felicity: LOL yes would have been nicer if she saw the original but I'm thankful atleast this was unmerged somewhat in time for her to see it...small mercies from the mods today...miracle😆

was it really unmerged? because i'm still seeing the old messages in that combined post the mod made😕 a khichki from our posts

Awww this is worth the trouble of reposting but still what a sad state ab actors apni appreciation bhi nahi dekh sakte caz of the messed up rules

What wonderful things in that other thread but nahi all that goesTai tai phiss and useless content get to stay in forum

I think their win is so satisfying to the fandom because these two are such oddball representation of a generic daily soap trope of AYM lead and effervescent FL. I don't think anybody initially believed that Annika would be able to make her mark coz she, according to many, fell outside the petite & milky white damsel characterization the Indian audience is used to. And then she is paired up with an 'average' height, skinny, uber-fair hero. I remember certain section of IB viewers here mock these two continuously for their physical 'lack'. And it is commendable that these two made this negative commentary a part of their onscreen characterization. They are the most imperfect and unconventional looking pair on Indian tv right now but their acting prowess and camaraderie is such that you can't fathom NM as Shivaay if SC as Annika is replaced.

I have no qualms to admit that Annika is my favourite character of IB...It took me a lot of time to warm up to Shivaay. And 'Shivika' as a ship officially tanked for me during the forced wedding. My first post on IB was how these two are gonna get married. There I wrote an essay on how Shivaay was gonna save Annika from Daksh's clutches and out came the care chase and the 'boom scene'! i was so pissed but couldn't resist watching in morbid fascination as one does during a trainwreck. I thought this can never be salvaged and here we are 400 episodes later still awwing over their journey from 'michmichi' in other's company to them rolling around in paint to the tune of Laal Ishq!

I am not a regular watcher of daily soaps nor am I a big fan of Indian programming. It is quite surprising to me that these two have managed to sustain my interest for this long. Hope they keep winning more awards and give us many more moments to facepalm or awww over!😊

Thanks AY for re-making the post !!!

Wonderfully written about both NM and SC...You have said it all !
