If the rumours are true then it wouldnt be fair to stop watching JJKN just because Samir threw a star tantrum.
That is not T&D fault.
I have lost intrest in the show not because of samir's absence, but because they wrongly handled his absence and in the process killing the character of Purab. Old scenes although pathetically edited, were Ok compared to the use of A body double Purab that too DRUNK!! that was the last straw. Had they handled the character well in samir's absence the show would have been somewhat bearable. But when you see the way they have handled the show it seems as if they had lost the track what to do.
They had a few options. Had they thought reall hard, But then a Producer is not always the fan of his own show, unfortunately he is only fan of money, and thats where they fail to understand the sentiments of fans and auidience. Or even fail to understand that how fans notice even the tiniest of the things.
What they could have done had sameer left the show without notice (still not a confirmed report )
they could have immediatly replaced samir, rather than using his old shots. Something that is done in many shows, when a character leaves. But I belive that they were gonna make purab Exit the show anyways as his character was just there to hold the TRP's till the end & keep the audience curious and fooled. Thus they didnt wanted to cast another actor for a short period of time.( what if even that actor clicked with the audience just like samir. . They would have been in a fix then.😆)
Second and the best option, they could have send purab to rohan, they have completely forgot Rohan, Rohan could have gotten into trouble needing his bro. This would have brought them time. Till then they could have fix all the problems they had which forced them to use recycled scenes.
Thirdly could have sent purab for some urgent thing about his chacha chachi.
But instead they choose to use a body double and get him pathetically act as a drunk🤢. Trust me that guy didnt even know how to actually walk like a drunk🤢 🤢.
Jammy.
