Not all people who are fans are supposed to sing Kumbaya even if they donât like what the actor is doing on screen as a Character!
As much as I loved Parth in his previous show, I couldnât tolerate what he did with his limited range as Anurag Basu.
As much as I liked KP is his previous shows, I didnât like his grumpy Bajaj look.
As much as I disliked KSG from his debut show, I couldnât help but swoon about what he did with Bajaj.
As much as I loved Erica from her previous shows, I didnât like her some bits in this show.
In short, Actors are different from characters and should be left at that.
Not everyone who types a feedback here is negative and not everyone is supposed to love what others do.
A forum exists for discussion and for love and adulation, we have ATâs and chat/fan clubs.
Itâs perfectly okay to criticise and not like an actorâs body of work if the work is not up to mark.
For me, Anurag Basu was badly written, badly acted and even more badly glorified.
Thatâs got nothing to do about any other actor!
Characters maybe portrayed by actors but they arenât the characters. They are different people.
Agree with your post about liking and disliking work.
It's perfectly normal to like and dislike things as per our own taste.
We all watch shows with a different mindset with a different point of view.
To some if its something good it maybe not for others.
Just like how some liked KSG's bajaj or KP's bajaj some liked parth's anurag or erica's prerna.
The people who watch their fav's or character's on-screen watch it with certain expectations and if it's not met then we tend to get disappointed.
All these actors have done some great work in their previous shows and some people who haven't seen them before this they enjoyed whatever they saw in this show too.
I loved parth's anurag til certain point (strictly my liking for my own reasons) but i enjoyed his other show too later for a different reason. Different character different take. Though every actor learns something good or bad in their experience and that's how they move ahead. Not everything is going to be the best all the time.
The writing was bad no doubt on that but some people did found things to appreciate in those actors and characters but what left a bad taste for me with many things was some superiority complex behaviour. Just because you watch some Hollywood shows or you watch some classic french opera doesn't mean the things that you like automatically is above others choice. People who watched prerna or anurag were mocked for this at many points.....can't we still be a fan with different taste?
Even being a fan of Parth's work or character Anurag i still think you and some of the other fans who didn't like his work has always been straightforward about it and i think that's good. Even with the same actor we can all have likes and dislikes and live in peace. No hard feelings. Hopefully, all the common actor's fan someday might like something together and cherish it who knows. đ we thrive for good performance anyways.
No hard feelings for the one who is defensive too (Good that actors have fans to motivate and appreciate them in this pandemic world) it's their own way of appreciating something.
Even at the opposite ends your posts were entertaining đđŒ
Sorry for going off track after a certain point from your post.
