Writer are to be blamed.. Parallels, 'arcs', third angles, loops ke chakkar mein, pure serial ki GEOMETRY ki bigaad di! (Note to self: waah waah what a mathematical sentence! 🤣)
I'll miss their BANTER.. I can relate to it.. Many of my conversation are actually like theirs.. Isliye apna sa lagta hai..😊 and that is why I can leave them(stop watching) but then I can't leave them! 😆😆
So I don't think the actors were that disinterested...I'm talking NM-SC here obviously...baaki groupbaaz logon ke motivations toh let's not even begin to get into😆
The actors were FORCED to lose motivation through the disinterest of the writers...actually it goes beyond disinterest...it's like ACTIVE sabotage since quite a while now...you haven't seen the AU as much so maybe you don't realize how much they went OUT of their way to sabotage whatever little basic semblance of characterization Shivika could get in the redux...story toh anyways repetitive hi rehti hai Gul land mein...how is it that NM-SC managed to live through so many reboots of shaadi/blackmails in RU but never faltered while in redux it all became a giant mess? They were FORCED to disconnect from that which came naturally to them...that is what I've observed...bit by bit, that is what was constantly done in redux...in the name of calling this 'AU' and a "hatke" story from RU, they just kept making the characters more and more hollow...heck, NM-SC mainly tried to SALVAGE that shit even in the midst of total writing failures...kaafi time tak they kept pouring sincerity into it despite such terrible redux characterizations for both of them...so no, I don't think THEY were disinterested...they were trying to be professional and passionate actors in what they were doing for however long they could manage to.
It was once the actual forced leap news broke to them that I think they actually lost interest...especially SC...for the first time in these long 3 years I've seen her check out mentally from her work...despite many phases before where I could tell she wasn't connecting with what she was doing, I could see her PASSION for it...but Gulneet went out of the way to MURDER that passion in her...and it's been sad to see that.
I know you think that NM was given the PTSD track to salvage his interest in the show but I actually think it was just another gimmick from Harneet to fill time and portray herself as a wannabe social activist. She was the one killing time...NM had something meaty to sink his teeth into so he focused on that...SC bechaari ko wallpaper hi rakha but she still tried to pour soul and sincerity in the few brief flashes she got vis a vis emotional scenes.
All of the timepass ideas were about whether or not Shivaay will guilt trip...lol the PTSD was just another in that list...the whole so called Shivika story wala redux never functioned towards building Shivika as a unit...by the end toh it was all about whatever little one off drama or emotional scene they could give to NM-SC...woh bhi seemed like ehsaan kar rahe hain...lol...atleast that's how they wrote it...jaise they are doing ppl a favor and then back to usual faltugiri and groupbaazi SS distribution.
So if you ask me honestly, lack of interest was all on the part of the writers...overnight they just gave up on Shivika and set out to actively sabotage them...to murder the last thread this show was hanging by cuz fans were refusing to let go. NM-SC did their parts sincerely as long as they could...never faltered.
