I don't watch JNDSD regularly, but do pop into the forum to read the updates and discussions. I find one thread particularly amusing, the one with Shashank entering. His fans keep referring to him as a 'Big Star' and the fact that the PH for the show has taken advantage of his 'popularity' and 'name' to promote the show.😆
JNDSD was pushed from the non-peak time-slot to a popular time slot in a matter of few weeks by Star Plus. This was solely due to the existing, so-called, 'non-popular faces' and the storyline. I have no idea about the TRP of the show or anything, but do Shashank's fans really think that his entering the show will sky-rocket the show's TRP"s? Or that his non-entry will end up in the scrapping of the show? Is he really that popular a star?😕
In all honesty, I don't even like JNDSD so much nowadays. I do believe that it is being dragged and the creatives are simply playing on the chemistry between the leads. But at the same time, I think it is amply clear, that whatever popularity the show has, is ONLY because of Vikram and Shivani and no third person. However little popular JNDSD is, it is only because these two have managed to pull in the audience.
I don't think Shashank is that big of a star or has such a massive fanbase, that the creatives had to 'use' his name in order to bring in the audience. The fact that the show started off poorly and has done so well in comparison is a testament to the fact, that it is because of its leads and not because of someone else, who is supposed to enter it at some point in time. If Shashank's name was indeed used to promote the show, then JNDSD should have started off with a bang, instead of starting off slow and growing steadily.
Let us hate the creatives if they have supposedly wronged your favourite star, but let us not take away all credit from other actors, who have done their bit.
