Great post, Harshu. Good luck with trying to make everyone follow the rules.. 😆 People tend to get very emotional when it comes to comparing Barun/Arnav to anyone!
I agree with DKS completely.. and partly with Aisha.
If I blame someone, it would be the PH and the CVs and most, the people who give spoilers!
Let's look at Barun's leave.
The spoiler came out saying Barun is leaving.. people went crazy. I always wondered why? And then it became worse.. first news was 11 days.. then what 22.. 40.. 45.. and fans went crazy!
Next PH .. who gives an actor so much priority? You could have asked him to choose, knowing that his popularity was from your show and that he would not survive on his own outside the show. If you had done that, Barun would have reconsidered .. maybe.. and you could have carried out your original track.
Next the CVs.. ok, the PH allowed Barun at 45 day leave. I actually liked the kidnapping, because of how they showed a strong Khushi and Khushi-Mami bonding. But apart from that the 45 day leave ruined it, because it seemed silly that Arnav never even once tried to escape until once Barun's leave was almost over. That ruined his character. The kidnapping also ruined Shyam's character. It made me wonder whether he wanted money more or Khushi. It seemed to me that he never even wanted Khushi, because he left her to die .. again a very weird twist to his character. The fact that he suddenly became so powerful, and Arnav never even noticed so much money being taken from his Di's account etc etc. To me, Shyam was ruined too during the kidnapping track. So that was the other thing, CVs screw up characters when they diverted from the story line. They are not, you see, adaptable!
Now.. Daljeet's negotiation. Again the spoilers came first.. and then the interview, which made everyone hate her.. and people went crazy!
I think she had a right to negotiate, because if you look at the write up about the show. It says bro-sis relationship plays a big part in the story. So yes, I think she had a reason to ask for a better role. But the CVs screwed it up here. They could have given her a good role, by showing her as a strong character, showing her as turning against Arnav.. so many good roles that she could have pulled it off.. But no, they had to show her as a bechari because in SP's world, women are becharis! That ruined the whole thing.. because there was rona dhona. There is a reaosn I stopped watching hindi shows, that's coz of such crap. I have enough pain in my life, I cry a lot, why would I want to see someone else cry? I stopped watching..
And worse, to give Anjali the limelight.. they started showing Arnav care more about his Di than the woman who just saved his life by risking her own. No repentance, no guilt about anything he did in the past few months. That ruined him for me .. some CV decided that the guy never needs to repent.. since then started the downfall of both Arnav and Khushi's character.. The CVs lost the story immediately after hte kidnapping. If they weren't so creative, the PH should have hired better CVs.. or not changed from the original track at all.
The PH's motto of making the actor the God is wrong. No profession, do you ever let the employee seem that the workplace will be nothing without him! Then the employee will try and sit on your head.. that's what happened with these two actors! Yes fans would go crazy, but if you have a good storyline and replace them with brilliant actors, they will cry for a while. .some might leave.. but the ones who really like the story will still watch.
As for the actors, I know people will hate me for this.. but I think I like Daljeet more now.. 'coz she never looked bored.. or just read off the script!
