HAI Ryka very very simple questions.

i want ur analisis of 2 ,3 4 sep2008 KYM episodes mainly milind and prachi emotions and how shabbo and panchi potrayed their emotions.

I didnt get to see the episode on 2nd.. because was busy with the Gauri-Ganesh Puja... saw it on 3rd. I love the 1st scene... It felt ages after which something called a brain worked in Milind's head😆 When i saw the beginning... I was like 'Not again, Milind... why do u get caught in situations like this all the time' I would have been totally upset if it wasnt an act and even if he would have snapped out later. I surely didn't want to end a festive day in a sore mood… so thank god for Milind's act.👏 I saw the fiery performer back in Shabbo after a long time so that was a bonus for me👏. Panchi was fab in her expressions as she watched Milind talk about what Prachi means to him.👏

But then on… I found the episode ridiculously meaningless😡… I am sorry if u guys loved it😕. I didn't understand what was Prachi's need to go after Milind knows the truth and he challenged Mallika. There is no way on the face of this earth that Milind will be with mallika for the sake of his freedom…and Mallika isnt going to sit calmly if Milind cant be hers... she doesn't loves him to an extent that she will give up her vengeance... and Prachi knows it. In that case Milind is going to suffer either ways… atleast if Prachi is by his side, he will be more than happy and they TOGETHER can solve the problem (unfortunately Prachi doesn't believe in that concept of sorting things together) I really dont understand what was the need to honour her promise to Mallika at the cost of her Promise to Milind😕

Why cant they understand that Mallika cant just walk in and out of the court and decide Milind's fate. There is something called cross questioning and she can be framed. Since Milind claimed(or did he?) that he wasn't in his senses the night Ayesha died… why don't they put him through a brain mapping, narco test(I thoughts the BT had followed the Aarushi murder trail very closely) and vouch for his innocence? Ok, who am I talking to the Creatives of BT?🤢

What I hated the most was when Prachi walked out of the house… she thought of only Milind? Did she spare a thought for her family… how they will react? Come on… just because you love your husband so much… your family doesn't become any less.😕

And the railway station scene… It looked downright absurd… a guy like Milind with an athletic frame couldn't catch up with Prachi who was running 10 feet ahead of him. and Shabbo did everything not to run fast🤣. And I didn't understand why on earth the guy didn't jump into the train once Prachi got into it… the door was so near by… he fell only min later… It was ridiculous… and that lady, Panchi… what on earth was she trying to do😡? Standing at the edge door of a moving train with a child in hand to pull in someone else… does she have any idea how dangerous it could have been… esp with such a small baby… who generally get jumpy at that age😡? And if she hadn't pulled up Prachi…Prachi wouldn't have gotten into the train😡.

The last scene was fantastic again… I loved Milind's answer to mallika… 'Prachi ki qurbani dekhi hai… ab mera Junoon Dekh'👏🥳👏

Ya, that episode felt great because after being passive for god knows how many days Milind was back in action.

4^th…

Again I loved the way Milind's brain worked… somehow with BT's creatives… I thought they will completely miss the fact that Milind can catch up with the train at the next station… but thank god for Jab We Met being fresh in the heads of the creatives… they did think of it.😆

Again I didn't understand how easy it is for Prachi to share her troubles and compromises and her plan of action with a complete stranger… whereas she finds it difficult to confide in her husband or her best friend. She did the same in the PIM track as well… the orphanage massi and father were her confidants.😕

That was all that I really felt for the 4^th's episode because I was thinking of the leap aspect of Kayamat. I wish the leap brings some freshness.I hope he maintains that Prachi cant be dead and that she will come back to him one fine day. Even if he believes she is dead... he better be loyal to her memories and dare not destroy himself by drowning in alcohol and self pity... he better understand that prachi would never want to see him like that... he should find something meaning full to do in life... dedicating himself to business and family... I would probably forgive him if he takes up Ritwik's responsibility and finds a new purpose in life through that child.

That was such a sloppy analysis guys… I feel I have lost touch along with my interest for the show… and also that I didn't see it completely… so whatever little bit I saw… here is what I felt. I know it is disappointing, i am sorry😭

O.k..i had to ask you these as well...


You are a great fan of Rajeev...what is it about him that you don't like???

I really don't share his enthusiasm for dance... he gets very excited when he has to dance, but he cant dance... and I have had enough of my friends laughing at him for that. It is very difficult to convince him to take up a project... because of which he takes these long breaks because nothing excites him... and I really miss him in action😭. One more thing is that when he isnt convinced about a scene or the story line... it shows.

I just read that you like Anjali... Do you think it was right on the part of the father to hide the existence of his daughter from the family in this movie?

Shekar can never be justified... esp when u see Chitra yearn for her child to call her 'Amma' But from his point of him... I think he got stuck in one big lie on the advice of the doctor and after that he never knew when and how to break the news to the family. Anjali was under continuous medical care from the time she was born... so they wont have been able to bring her home... so from Anjali's point of view there wasnt any negligence... she was taken care of... but one cant replace a mother. On the other hand Arjun and Anu were small too... they needed complete attention aswell... I don't know how effectively Shekar and Chitra would have been able to manage all the 3. No matter how unjustified I feel Shekar is... the moment he tries to pacify his wife saying 'You wont be able to bear it' (The staircase scene when Chitra gets hysterical) you can make out it was that factor that worked big time in him hiding the truth. But I am just happy that Chitra understood his reasons and didnt hold it against him... because the guy must have gone through so much of pain to hide it successfully. Their daughter was battling life everyday and on the other hand he made sure their other two kids had a happy home... it wont have been easy for him to lie to Chitra so many times and never give away his fears about Anjali. This movie is a classic... Beautiful characters... Shekar, Chitra, Arjun, Anu and ofcourse Anjali... I loved prabhu's cameo too. I miss Raghuvaran so much😭.

Mani Ratnam's Mounaragam - Have you watched this movie??

I am Maniratnam fanatic... I love his films. Mounaragam is my 2^nd fav. I so love Kartik... I think the Mr. Chandramouli scene is a classic😆. Somehow I always felt that Shabbo would be apt for his role... for that matter a lot of Kartiks films😛. Revati is again a phenomenal performer. I dont like Mohan... but he was exceptional in this film. One of my all time fav songs is 'Nilave Va...' Maniratam is a genius... he keeps his stories so simple.. his narration is very straightforward and there are moments that touch your heart in a way that they always remain with you👏👏👏.

What flaws does shaboo have as an actor?
Sometimes I feel he needs to take more interest in the way his role is shaping up. He isnt consistent in his performance at times.... esp the PA track. I think he needs to be a bit more aggressive about his career.

If they were IF members and they posted topics what would you tell them to talk about?
Shabir - Well I would like to see him make a post defending the creatives of the show on the forum and I would like to see how our anti-creatives forum will react to it. 😈

Rajeev ' This guy can talk about any topic on the face of the earth😆. Rajeev travels a lot esp the remote corners of India... with his writing abilities I think he can write interesting travelogues.. in that case(or otherwise) India Forums can have a section dedicated to travel and tourism in India. I genuinely this guy should become one of the ambassadors for the Incredible India Campaign. Since I love traveling too... nothing better that Rajeev's travelogues😳.

Jay ' On what is his role after the leap' Is he going to have a story of his own in the 1^st place?

Hussein ' On how to make an uncontroversial exit out of the BT Camp and become more successful' for the dozens of actors who want to leave that camp but are scared... or just arent able to make a peaceful exit.😆

Iqbal Khan - Who is the Warris?😕

Hey Ryka...Congrats on being in the hot seat..I was waiting for this

So Ryka means blessed one ..Lol I always thought it was after (Robby-Kasturi)..but good ID

I don't believe this? You really thought so? and you are telling me this now? 😆

Here are some of my questions which I was dying to ask you:

1. At which point you felt kayamath lost its charm?

The start of the PA track effectively killed it... but I think my apprehensions began with AVK's exit and the sloppy way in which the PIM track was wound up.

2. Which is your best scene in kayamath?

The Deluge scene.... How adorable did Milind look holding on to the parcel he got for Prachi? And how cute did an exasperated Prachi look when Milind told her he went to get her a sari and asked 'Aap mujhe itne pareshan kyun karte hain' More than that I think it was the humility that Milind displayed when he apologized for his sin... loved it when he said 'Main sab kuch jeet karbhi hargaya.. aur tu sab kuch harke bhi jeet gayi'

3. Your best michi moment?

Too many to name one... I loved the bridge scene... I had never seen Prachi so happy.. and Milind smiles watching Prachi so happy was so memorable. It is the 1^st scene where the ice broke.. Prachi was so playful with him.. splashing water at him😍 wo bhi kya din te.

4. Which song suits best for michi?

Kabhi neem neem, kabhi shehad shehad

There is a song in Zindagi Rocks.. Ek din phursat mein.. I feel that song fits Michi's story so well.

5. How would you have liked KYM story to have continued?

Without Mallika for sure... Michi being a happy couple expecting their 1^st baby and they play cupids and patch up Neev and Ayesha.

6. Do you think Panchi acts well?

I think she is improving everyday.

7. Which was the most shocking moment of KYM

What else.. Mr. Milind Mishra pulling a near rape act.. esp when the prev day they had started romantic moments between the two.. and making it worst was that it was aired in the last segment of Thursday.. I dont know how Michi's fans survived.

8. What do you like about KYM forum?

I think this is avery active Forum, we have some fantastic writers

9. Give awards for any serial or show you have watched or are watching: BEST

a) story or plot _ Kahin to Hoga

b) actors - Rajeev Khandelwal

c)characterization -Sujal Garewal

d) script- Mustaq Sheik for Kahin tho Higa

e) Direction - Anil V Kumar, Kahin tho Hoga

That is one biased KTH fan

10. Have you liked KYM from the begining or did u start in between and if yes at which point...I mean what attracted you to KYM other than shabbo

I was interested in the show from the beginning because it was Shabbo's serial as the lead..I wasnt interested in anything else.. He took a long time to make an entry.. and he left for 2 months. It was only after he re-entered was I interested in the story.. what interested me other than Shabbo was Milind's characterization and the fact that it was going to be Michi after a point. I loved Milind's intro promo.. where it said 'Yeh jonka hawa ka kya badal dega Prachi ki zindagi ka ruk'

11. Your fav. 3 bollywodd movies..which you have seen many times and 3 tamil movies

Mili, DDLJ, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam

Tamil - Anjali, Mounaragam, Agninakshtram (A maniratnam fanatic' what else can one expect)

12. your fav. bollywood actor- It has to be the ONE and the ONLY Amithab Bachchan

13. your fav. Song - Hum dil de chuke sanam's title track

14. your fav. Actress - Madhuri Dixit., Kajol

15. your fav. reality show - Indian Idol.. looking forward to the 4^th season

16. your fav. Serial - Kahin tho Hoga

17. your fav. Singer - Kishore Kumar

18. your fav. music director - A R Rehman

19. your fav. telly actor - Rajeev Khandelwal

20. your fav. telly actress - Niki Aneja Walia

21. Your top 3 fav. telly jodis...reason '

Sujal-Kashish - The reason is obvious, isnt it?

Rishi-Mehak - again very obvious

Michi - Their journey towards and with eachother is heartwarming.. in the process they have enriched eachother's lives.

22. which telly jodi has the best chemistry

Sujal-Kashish

23. Which character in the serials do you think has the best characterisation

Sujal Garewal.. There are many characters that were equally dynamic when they began.. but none could maintain the consistency for aslong as they lasted.. None could sustain that long without losing their magic or their USP. And even Mai thinks Sujal Garewal is her best creation.. it is sad how she destroyed it all for her the sake of her Big fat ego.

24. your fav. telly character

Sujal, again(It looks like I am doing Sujal Jaap.. not that I am complaining)

25. what type of story you would like to see in a serial....love story, family story, real etc...

It depends.. as long as a story is well told and holds my attentions the genre doesn't matter to me.. but yes hard core action and horror is a complete No.

26. which serial has made you very happy...or any scene which has made you jumping in joy

Kumkum after reincarnation makes me really happy.. because there is absolutely no stress.. only entertainment. Other shows like KTH, Kayamat for that matter have affected me to an extent that it wasn't about entertainment anymore.. so I think never Happy like happy.. there was always something happening in the show which was heartbreaking.

A scene that made me jump around was a scene in KTH.. it was the only scene of its kind in the 21 months tenure of Sujal. One fine afternoon he was so happy about getting a Government approval for a project' that he gave his driver a chutti.. walked on the road grinning to himself.. when it started raining.. he really enjoyed the rain.. he stopped a milkman on a cycle and asked to ride the cycle.. he rode for a 10 metres and fell. He saw a puddle nearby.. he saw if someone was watching him.. and he jumped into it' he found his little friend in a tea shop nearby...enjoyed tea there.. dreamt about Kashish and left feeling very happy. In the last 1 year I had never seen him like and the 10 months from there.. I never saw him so happy.. I still dont know what made him so happy that he enjoyed like that.. that scene was so special because it was one of the 2-4 moments in the entire show when Sujal was really happy.

27. which moment or scene you wished to happen was shown on the show

In Kayamat.. Milind breaking the Dahi Handi in the chawl with Prachi cheering him.

28.

How much of TV do you watch - I know u always wanted to know this😆 but frankly I dont spend more than a hour and half a day.. I watch a lot of shows but except for kth and kayamat.. I have never followed a show on a daily basic... I keep juggling.. anyway the stories dont progress so fast that I cant catch up on the story once in a week.

do you get disillusioned by the turn of events in the shows and why - I do.. but that is only in the case of KTH and kayamat.. because I am emotionally attached to the characters.. else I just give up on the other shows.

has any twist in the serials affected you that has made you remain gloomy or happy in real - Most def. Sujal's death.. left an indelible mark on me.. I am never forgiving mai for that.

I have always wondered if ur the pshychology student as ur analysis on chracters are bang on and you see a point which many of us dont see

You arent the only one who feels so.. I am not a psychology but a finance student.😆

Do you think chracters like milind or sujal exist in real

Thats it...hope I am ot too hard

Awwwwww that is so Sweet... Thank You so much, Ritu. The post u made about the best one liners of Milind is still one of my fave threads... hope we got to see more of you. 😃

You and some other Michians have great talent of doing wonderful and most intelligent analysis of the worst possible scenes and tracks😆......keep it up !!!

😆 so true.

Cheers

Ritu

Ryka, I enjoyed reading your answers... though I don't agree with all of them, obviously cause everybody has their own preferances 😃...
Yup, we do... 😃

I must say, I like "Thoda sa Pyaar hua hai" a lot too, lol, its funny but when I hear the song, I don't think of Sameera Reddy and Sohail Khan on whom the song is picturized, but I automatically think of Sujal-Kashish, this I thought even before I started to watching KTH on ur recommendation, but I really started liking it when I saw it was picturized on the Sujal-Kashish siggies on "All TV couples with thier songs" ka video, I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy the song even more when I see it picturized on them in the show... I can't imagine Sujal in a rain-dance though 😆.... It seems to be an apt theme song for Sujal Kashish!!! 😳

I think that song became more popular as Sujal-Kashish's song😆 Loved the song to bits... i think we were all crazy to have that as ring tones😆 At a point in time when Sujal was crossing sane limit of human endurance for Kashish and the song went Thoda sa pyar hua hai... we used to wonder thode se pyar mein yeh halath hai... jab pura ho jayega tab kya hoga😆 Coming to the rain dance... you got to watch it to believe it... they have had 3 rain dances... only the 1st one was for real... the other 2 was Sujal's dream... but the 1st one was simply beautiful... it was one of the most happiest moments


Chalo, I'm gonna ask you questions on YOUNG ACTORS...

Ok Rank the following young actors in order of their acting skills, with 1 going to the best young actor... and you can give reasons if you want to, but its not necessary at all.... And feel free to leave out actors whose performance you've not watched properly to judge... 😊

I dont know if u can put KP here... because he was there in KA 3 years back😕 But i will put him

So my list will be
1. Karan Patel... I dont know what took ekta such a long time to use him as a lead when he was in her camp for so long. His eyes and voice... melt you in one moment.

2. I am biased about my Qadi cum Sharabi... So Arjun Bijlani comes 2nd... He is so cute... personally believe he had the most challenging role in LRL... because more than Capt, he was the one who was connected to everyone and tapori accent is too perfect... and he has the cutest smile.

3. Usool Bhai - Harshad Chopra... in LRL sadly the focus wasnt on him much.... he was stuck with Pooja and Nair most of the times. But the guy blew my head in KDMHMD... The scene with his mom by the lake is one of the most emotional scenes i have... he was out of the world in that scene.

4. Vikas Manaktala - Even he is very good... though Huda was annoying... Vikas had screen presence.

5. Jay Bhanushali - Frankly, he didnt impress me much in the beginning... but he was fab in the scene Milind burns Neev's factory and Neev collapsed on his knees... from that day on I have taken the guy seriously... and I think the track where he was the suspect... has been his best phase in the serial as an actor.

6. Karan Mehta - This guy will go a long way... he has a boyish charm and is very talented.... for a 1st serial where he shares his screen with likes of Vikram Gokhale, Sushant Singh, Smriti, Achinth... the guy was completely natural and cool.

7. Jatin Shah - I like his villain act more than his positive act😆 I dont know why but he looked terribly boring as Mr. Raunak Mahaan Singhania

8. Naman Shaw- He is a good in a supporting cast... nothing exceptional.

9. Yuvraj - I am watching him for the 1st time in Waaris... i was pleasantly surprised at what i saw...

10. Kunal Kapoor- He is the comedian of the gang... he is ok.



Edited to Add: Ryka I would like to add a few more actors to Kittu's list, you know the one where u say what are the strengths and weaknesses of each actor.... feel free to leave out you don't know well enough to judge

Oh ho... I did a lot of brainstorming for Kitty's question... and that too for actors who were absolutely my faves... this is going to be tough.

Ok so
1. Harshad Chopra - I'm asking this because he's one person whose acting I've absolutely loved in KDMHMD... dunno how he was in LRL though...
Strengths - THE Best voice modulation. He is very good in emotional scenes
Weakness - Sometimes he is very laid back...


2. Iqbal Khan 😳😳😳 - I can listen to him talk the whole day... just for his voice😆 His intensity as a performer is hard to match... and with that heavy, husky voice... the entire attention gets focused on him. In a well written scene he takes a scene to a different level all together. Again i find his range as a performer very wide... he has fantastic comic timing... his cameo in KTH as the fake Sujal, Raghu was hilarious... i couldnt believe i was laughing at someone else making fun of Sujal... Iqbal simply rocked it... and it was a welcome change for the KTH fans aswell. One scene of Iqbal that i will always remember is the scene in KYPH when he is performing on the stage and the whole idea of his wife singing for his enemy choked him to an extent he simply collapsed on the stage... watching that huge frame crumble on the stage infront of his fans and the scene that followed later... Simply outstanding. I loved him in the Zeb mode... he made a cool villain.
Weakness - When there is no damaka happening in his roles... it gets a bit boring to see him sober

3. Ram Kapoor - Once upon a time, I had the highest regard for this guy as an actor... he shows the right amount of restrain required for a scene. He was so brilliant in the in the good old days of KS... and even in Dhadkan...but after that ONS fiasco and the kind of crap JW had become... my irritation spread from JW to Ram and if that wasnt enough he made a mockery out of himself as the Cat Man in Kyunki😕

4. Karan Patel - he's one actor who looks hotter when he cries!!! 😆😆😆 Karan... the guy's eyes do all the talking for him... he is fab in the scene which are volatile in nature... along with Shabbo, Iqbal this guy is a pro in such scenes.
Weakness - sometimes he is just too bored and hangs around for the sake of it.

5. Vikas Manaktala - His accent impresses me the most... I really dont know how he managed it through out. He has a flair for comedy.
Weakness- He tends to over act

6. Jatin Shah - he is better of as a Villain than as a Hero... No offense to his fans... but i prefer his negative act...

7. Jay Bhanushali - You can track his improvement in Kayamat... Comedy and Sarcasm is something the guy really excels in... I loved to see him heavily emotional scene... scenes like the one he breaks down after the fire accident, later when he confronts Prachi on the cliff to ask her the truth about why she left him and later when Prachi held a gun at him...
Weakness - i cant point out any... but he has a lot of scope to improve

8. Sanjeeda Sheikh - She is versatile. She used to have me in splits in KHNK and in Kayamat she made the whole world hate Ayesha. Now I want to see her in a proper Heroine wala role.

9. Shubhangi Atre - She was pretty bad when Kasturi began... but she is improved a hell of a lot... she has very expressive eyes. Her dialogue delivery needs a lot of work

10. Poonam (Mahek) ... how could I forget her??? - What i like about Poonam is that she shows rare maturity in her performances... A very competent actor... She puts in the right amount restrain in her performances... usually she had her scenes Rishi, Sujal, Kashish, Varun... she had to be a supporting cast and she couldnt over do her bit...else the scene is ruined... and she has complimented them fantastically. She is so natural... esp in the scenes where she has cry... she thugs at your heart.
Weakness - is probably the fact that one wouldnt make her the lead😕

More questions later (that will be my last batch.... promise!!!)... Lol I'm so evil, naaa? 😈
Theek hai, Ji... me will settle scores jab aapka turn ayega😈

Omg Ryka lovely analysis and answers... seriously you've not lost your touch... I mean you didn't even complete watching the entire episode. As usual you've your own unique way of thinking... lol nobody talked about the lady and her kid, but first thing you did was get angry at her... observant hehe...anyways ... Did you watch the staircase scene on the 3rd??? I think that was the best scene of the episode. Both Shabbo and Panchi acted marvellously in it... the train scene was funny though.... I've heard Shabbo is extremely athletic... so I'm pretty sure he was running slowly purposely....And about the answers - If I didn't enjoy your answers, I wouldn't ask you so many questions...

About Jay, I'll help you with the weaknesses!!! I think one weakness of his is that he lacks the appropriate charisma and screen presence compared to like say IQ, Shabbo, KP and all... Initially Neevs role was well-crafted, a guy who is a bit immature, witty, very likable, jokes around with PL and Prachi and appears to not take things seriously (facade).. If someone like Hussain played him, I'm sure Neev would be a more popular character... Ofcourse Jay is a newcomer, so I shouldn't be so harsh on him... bt you know what I mean, right???

Ya, you are right... it looked so easy for Milind to overshadow Neev once he re-entered in turkey... ya, it is really early to judge Jay because he is new... I am sure he will go a long way.

AND I TOTALLY agree about Poonam... The first thing that caught me about Poonam is her smile... it is sooo sweeet, and adorable... Its damn cute!!! She has portrayed her role extremely well!!!
yup... she has the warmest smile i have seen.

About Jatin, I agree he's not cutout for heroic roles... Most of his fans hate him in his "Mahaan avatar" or you know goody-goody two shoes, they prefer him in roles where he's the anti-hero, like arrogant, sarcastic and so on... I found him completely boring in Kasturi, but he was good in KGGK (this was before his arrogance just got lost after he fell in love... its back though now)

ANYWAYS Question time 😃... Ok I'm dividing this into two parts cause it was getting too long... Part 1 would be like all general questions on ur favorites... and Part 2 is regarding Kayamath...(though its MUCH smaller than Part 1)

Part 1

GENERAL QUESTIONS - Its not necessary for you to give reasons for your choices!!!

Q1. I feel bad for not asking any questions about one of my favorite jodis from KTH 😭, so what is you favorite Rishi/Mahek scene

There was a scene where Roshan gets hurt playing on th beach... Rishi-Mehak find him drenched in blood... they rush him to the hospital... just watching the two sit in the corridor was heartbreaking... felt like giving them a hug... even though they were married to different ppl at that point... they felt together as parents...nothing mattering to them more than their child... I cant say how it felt... for the 1st time it was seeing Rishi so vulnerable... that scene was so special.
There was another scene... the honesty and the conviction in the way he declared he loves Mehak when Varun who he loves...left me stunned.... the way he said it you knew he was telling the truth.
And then the scene that makes me beam with happiness... is watching him spend time with Mehak and Roshan after their marriage with Ek din aap yun mil jayenge playing in the background was a dream come true for me. You have always seen Rishi smiling and happy but just the peace and contentment on Rishi's face was really special.
You asked me for one... and i had to list out 3... because when it comes to my Kiddo... no rules apply😆

Q2. Ok Rishi or Milind, who do you like more as a character and why???
Rishi Garewal... Because he is just too good😃 His character was very interesting... there was amazing consistency in the way his character shaped up.... it isnt easy to make a character like Rishi so adorable and loved when he was one who was the obstacle in the one of the most famous Love Stories.... So yes Rishi Garewal as a character. Milind's took a beating already... no consistency... I still dont believe he went back on his promise to take care of Ritwik... I still dont understand why a brother like Milind hasnt done anything to patch up SS or even made an attempt? All i know is the played Dandiya to give Sukruti company because she was feeling lonely... the guy who used to dictate terms when he entered the show... today is allowing everybody to run his life... What have they done to this guy😭 I knew once AVK leaves this was inevitable... but it still hurts. 😭

Q3. Ok Rishi or Milind, who do you like more as a PERSON and why???
😡 Sonia, u tricked me with this😡😡😡 Milind Mishra it is... It is very important to have a sense of Right and Wrong.. and Milind has that... so Milind it is. But Rishi, I love you the most🤗


😡Q4. What is it that appeals to you so much about Rishi's character...
The fact that he is such a baby when it comes to his Big B... nothing affects him as much as his Big B getting upset with him does... i found their relationship one of the most defining on Indian Television. Rishi has this amazing quality about sticking by his loved ones through thick and thin... even if you are cold towards him... he sticks by you.... i love his sense of unconditional loyalty to his loved ones and yes he is fiercely protective about his family which is another quality i love about him. But what stands out is his zest for life... that is so evident in the way he died... he died the way he lived.. .fearless. The toast he raised to himself at the end of Rishi's life is what makes him all the more special to me.

Q5. I would ask the same for Mahek
I would go to an extent to say she is one of the finest female characters Balaji has come up with after Kajal of Koshish. What i love about Mehak is the fact that she learnt from her mistakes... she never made decisions in a haste after a betrayal from Rishi. She faced the world with her head held high as an unwed mother. What i respect most about her is her sense of right and wrong... she is very fair. She didnt hold anything against Sujal knowing very well that Sujal's siding Rishi was the last straw for her to prove her innocence. She stood by Sujal through think and thin knowing that she would be against her own sister and husband... knowing she would be on the same side as Rishi is. Her sense of fairness is so evident when she stood up for Rishi when he was right...without holding any of the past between them. I appreciated her a great deal when she refused to be treated like a doormat by her unfaithful husband..and filed for divorce. (Ok, along with that i knew Rishi's chance was here😛) I simply adored her for striking a deal with Rishi for the sake of Roshan... all Rishi needed was one chance and i knew he will make it work for themselves and their children. The most important thing for me was the firmness with which she handled Rishi... It is so easy to pamper this guy rot... you feel like listening to everything he says... I think if Sujal was firm with him... Rishi would have been a different story... but u cant say NO to Rishi... but Mehak does and invariably Rishi listens(even before marriage) I liked the way she kept encouraging Rishi to fight adverse situations... never give up. She had a big heart... to forgive Rishi for all that he did when she saw him change and love him just as much ... for me she is the right mix of heart and brains... and she has to be a special girl if the ultimate casanova on Indian Television loves her as much as he did with all honesty and conviction and settled down with her.



Q6. A scene in Kahiin Tho Hoga which you feel defines the complex person that is Rishi (I wonder if your going to pick the scene right after his death)
you are so right... How often do you see a Character raise a toast to himself and his life? The guy remained unconquered even by the fear of death... he lived the way he wanted to... died in the manner Rishi Garewal will be proud of. He had only one thing on his mind... that he was breaking his promise to Mehak again😭 but he didnt... he was always around as her guardian angel😃

Q7. A scene in KTH which you feel defines the complex person that is Sujal
Actually once you get to know Sujal... he is the easiet to understand. but haan... till you get to know him... he will look like an puzzle😆 As far getting to know he is complex.. .i think the 1st scene itself... he didnt get Kahish was trying to trick him (why would he give her change if there was only one bottle?) but outside the shop....just the way knelt down next to her when she fell down... she and i thought he was helping her... na, he gave her the money took the medicine and went😆 The way he handled the accident issue... then the classic interview and his reasons from why he gave her the job... all that hinted that he is going to turn out to be interesting. Another scene was the day of his parents anniversary... he didnt wish his mom, but wished his dad😆... his mom asked why he didnt wish her... he told her he has seen her suffer cause of this relationship and he doesnt think there is anything happy to wish her for.... and said that he wished his dad for the sake of formality... I was like😕 All that was fine... but the scene that takes the cake is the scene where he proposed to Kashish on Piyush's Thervi... I still havent come to terms with that.😕

Q8. What has been Rajeev, Shabbirs, Aamna's best performances in KTH as Sujal, Rishi and Kashish...
Rajeev - far too many to pick one - but if i have to... The scene after piyush told him that he and Kashish have consummated their marriage(oh yes, that guy was such a jerk🤢😡) just imagining that scene makes me shutter. having to watch him throw up was the most difficult thing. Rajeev and the cameraman had got so involved in shooting that scene that they didnt realise the fire was spreading and a moments delay would have been very dangerous for both....thankfully the others were alert and pulled out Rajeev and the cameraman.

Amna - Sujal's death sequence.. .the one she shot with Chaitanya.

Shabbir- Sujal's Funeral😭 Watching that scene made me feel what will this guy do without his Big B... he was looking like a lost baby when he cried remembering Sujal's last words to him 'saza bhi main hi bhugtunga tumhare waje se'... and siiting all alone he cired 'Kya aap apne Rishi ko maaf nahi karenge' was torture to say the least... he was literally shivering like a small child and backing out when he had to offer last respects.... and ofcourse the way he ran towards the pyre after lighting it was shattering.


Q9. Ok what is your most favoritest Sujal Kashish scene... and why???
Mehak's Bday scene. Kashish was away from Piyush because it was believed he was having an affair with someone else(before u jump into any conclusion... Sujal had NOTHING to do with it) Sujal was kashish's emotional anchor at that point in time... they were going through a bad phase... her dad wasnt there... Kashish was hospitalised, Mehak was pregnant... so he used to be there taking care of both Kashish and Mehak. On Mehak's Bday they planned a surprise party for her and Piyush landed up as the univited guest(besharam that he is😡) saw Sujal there and told Kashish... give me a Divorce and set yourself free. Kashish ran into her room and started to cry... Sujal followed her, but stood outside and let her cry her heart out... after a point he couldnt take it and went inside and just stood with her... without a word, she just turned to him, hugged him and cried... he simply held her. They didnt speak a word... there wasnt any need for it. It was so complex thing... here kashish is crying for her marriage on the shoulders of a man who wanted that very marriage to break... but she also knew that Sujal is the one only who will understand her pain and he did...he was with her in that moment for no selfish reasons.... their relationship was beyond norms of society and relationships and yet so honourable. I loved the rest of the Bacha Party allowing the two to deal with it. Mehak summed it beautifully by saying ' pyar ki qurbani dekhar jis ristey ko di ne joda tha, aaj usi ristey ki thudne par wohi pyar unka sahara banke kada hai. Pata nahi zindagi mein aise ristey nibane kyun padte hain jahan do log ek dusare ka sath denekeliye hamesha rehete hain, par kabhi sathi nahi ban pate' Sujal and Kashish came out and Sujal took all of them for dinner because he didnt want to ruin Mehak's day. That scene was simply so beautiful.

Q10. Tell me one way in which Michi trumps Sujal-Kashish... and vice-versa...
The fact that Prachi is not as dangerous as Kashish
Sujal-Kashish have an edge because Sujal is far more in control of situations in their lives than Milind can ever get
Sonia, sorry darling... I know this wasnt the kind of answer you were expecting... but frankly i dont think i can do a thesis on them now😆

Q11. Who is your favorite telly-villain and why??? Name the actor and the character...
Vikram Gokhale as Dhirendra Rai Singhania, Virudh. That guy was so powerful... so mean... he used to play with lives of his own children to maintain his stature in the society He turned his own children against eachother because he was scared if they got together there will be a coup With that all that negativity the man still impressed me with his power and Vikram Gokhale...what can i say about him, he is a legend👏


Q12. Jay or Pulkit
I havent seen much of Pulkit's work... so Jay it is.

Q13. Prachi Desai or Panchi Boraa, and Bani or Prachi???
As an actor Prachi Desai. I used to adore Bani a lot... but her jasoosi trait ruined it completely for me... even otherwise i will chose Prachi, Prachi Milind Mishra😃

Q14. Ok, this is a long question so bear with me, but you mentioned in one of your answers how you would like to sue Ektta, and take over her assets, so she doesn't create any bad serials anymore but since she employs a lot of people, you'd let that be. But don't you think Ekta's casting is usually apt, and the roles she offers her lead actors actually give them scope to perform in the most interesting way which is most liked by the audience... For example, Rajeev would not have been as popular as he was if not for the character of Sujal, and his pairing with Aamna, Ditto Shabbir for Milind, Iqbal for Angad/Shiv, Harshad would not have gained much recognition had it not been for the character Prem, don't you think all these actors greatly benefited by acting with her production house??? And are better off sticking to BT than moving into other avenues???... What are your thoughts???

Good question. I have to admit that Ekta is a genius... she does have a very keen eye for talent... yes she has picked up talents i aodre be it Rajeev, Shabbo, Varun, Hussain or Iqbal. That lady's guts and hard work is worth applauding and i do. I am well aware of the fact that this lady personally looks into a her news shows and works on them for a month of so before she hands it over completely to her creative team. It is that one month's time during which the show is at its peak and gets enough audience hooked to their shows... the downfall starts once it goes to the creatives. I have been a great fan of her shows myself be it Koshish Ek Asha, Hum Paanch or KTH and Kayamat... but there is no denying the quality drops to disgraceful extents... and with the quantity of her shows incereasing the quality is decreasing. At times it is regressive, repulsive to say the least and seriously when was the last time you saw an Ekta show and felt it was refreshing... it is all recycled products!!!

And coming to the actors... Why is that we always say that Ekta has given Rajeev, Iqbal or for that matter anyone else a break? She wasnt doing charity... she was looking out for actors who fit the bill of her characters.... They were the apt people among the 500 odd contestants ... they got the role... they did their job ... why should their hardwork and success be attributed to Ekta alone? It isnt that she didnt make money out of her shows... and mostly importantly her actors. I know for a fact that Rajeev was one the biggest revenue getters for Ekta... for the 1st and the last time(untill now) in the history of Indian Television a character's wedding was a public affair. A leading Diamond brand sponsored prizes worth 25 lakhs for Sujal-Kashish's marriage... and they chose Sujal as the face of that contest not Kashish. That contest was a super hit... the response to that was mindblowing... it still remains a mystery why no other couple on tv had such a grand affair... not even something close to it. 4 months into the show with Sujal and Kashish not being an official pair Star Plus ran a Valentines day contest with this couple... so you can see it works both way.. there is no need for anyone to feel indebted to Ekta for a break... because her success is an accumulation of many such successes. The same thing happens with Iqbal too i guess... we all saw the way KAA dropped on his exit... from prime time it was shifted to 8 pm slot... from then on to the afternoon slot... No one can deny that these guys were indispensible to their respective shows. If Ekta can make ppl's careers and break them... one advice to her... forget everyone else darling.. make your Brother's movie career... it hasnt movied an inch in the last 8 years!
Coming to the last part of your question if i feel the actors who chose to part ways with her would have been better off with her production house.... I can answer this only as Sujal and Rajeev's fan. Rajeev is far better off away from that production house. I am not going to allow Ekta to own Sujal Garewal completely... if she created Sujal... the reason he sustained with all his glory was because of he way Anil V Kumar projected the complexity of Sujal so well and Rajeev who not only put life into that character but also put his foot down and his career at state just to ensure that Sujal's dignity and integrity will be intact. I can live with fact that Sujal died a tragic death... i wouldnt have been able to tolerate Sujal live on and degenerate in a mass of flesh without a spine... because he is my pride. It has been 5 years today and i still feel the proudest about Sujal and I will forever be indebted to Rajeev for what he did for Sujal Garewal😃😳 Sujal will always remain my fave character... but I am fine with Rajeev having to let him go.. because it was important for Rajeev's career... and with his courage, conviction, confidence and creativity... Rajeev Khandelwal is going to do better and he has proved just that with his Debut in bollywood

Q15, Ok better brother, Sujal or Rishi (Enjoy choosing!!! 😆)
😡 I am not choosing... BOTH of them are best brothers. What i like about Sujal is that he was everyones Sujal Bhaiya but only his Kiddo's Big B😃. We all know what he could do for his Kiddo so no need to explain on that front... but Sujal has also been there for the rest of the youngsters aswell. Varun has always looked up to him for business and otherwise. He got mehak to get back to college and face the world when she was Pregnant... and he so sweetly used to take care of her. He stood by Varun and Mehak in their decision to get married... He took up Mouli's responsibility after her family disowned her and on learning that Rishi had betrayed Mouli... he ensured that Mouli's future was secure. For the information of the creatives... Charu used to call Sujal 'Bhaiya' too... the creatives convinently forgot that and paired her up with a guy they insisted was Sujal😆
And my Kiddo ke tho kya kehene... he was his Big B's shield against his evil wife😡 The guy was impossible to handle if something happened to Sujal. Sujal's enemies were bothered more about Rishi than Sujal... because Rishi would move heaven and earth to save his Big B in his own way... this is despite knowing his Big B is capable of handling any crisis or threat. I loved him all the more when he exposed Kashish infront of the family and yelled 'arre aise Bhabhi ho tho dushmanon ki kya zarurath'👏 If that family wasnt around to save Kashish... she would have been dead meat... Rishi would have killed right there when she called Sujal a Bloody Murderer😡

Q16. Did you watch Karam Apna Apna when Iq was there... if so what did you think of Shiv-Gauri and Iq...
Very little... and i think it wasnt enough to form any opinion about the two... IQ was great as usual. I simply loved the scene Gauri confessed her love for Shiv in the park... that was so beautiful. I think if Iqbal was around... a lot would have been different about Shiv and Gauri.


Q17. Ok what do you think are the strengths and weaknesses of Varun

watching him as Dheeraj in Koshish Ek Asha... leaves me numb. I love him to such an extend that i hate shows that followed the similar story... no offence to the fans of the shows i am hinting at... but none match the standards set by Varun, Sandya and Anurag Basu.
He is a mature performer... what i like about Varun is that he never tries to over do something... he remains in what the script demands out of him. For eg in Astiva... if he wanted, with his kind of talent he could have made Abhimanyu look fantastic... but that wasnt what was expected out of him... Abhimanyu had to look like a loser on more than one occasion... he had look immature and spineless and unfit for Simran and he did just that... i used hate Abhimanyu so much... it is only when i stop to think... omg it is Varun i feel strange.... I hope u got what i meant.
Weakness - I think he isnt suited for these Heartthrob kind of roles.

Q18. Ok another long question, five actors you like...
I. Shabbir
II. Rajeev
III. Iqbal
IV. Hussain
V. KP
Out of them all,
- Who do you think is the best for brooding silent type roles??? - Rajeev
- Who is the most versatile??? - Shabbo
- Who has the best smile??? - There is no competition for this.. one smile that can win the world... Shabbo
- Who is the best for intense roles... like... angry types you know... Rajeev
- Who would make the most menacing villain??? - Iqbal... watch him as Zeb.
- Who do you think is the best for chocolate boy roles??? - Hussain😃
- Who is most expressive with his face???- Hussain
- Who has the best screen-presence and charisma??? - Rajeev
- Who can handle extremely difficult emotional scenes the best??? - Got to be Rajeev after Sujal and Aamir i cant think of anyone else.
- Who is the most consistent performer??? - Hussain
- Who is the best in comedy??? - Shabbo... this guy has a killer comic sense
- Who is the most detailed performer??? (who is all into the little nuances of a character and stuff and takes into a/c all aspects of acting) - Koi Shaq... Rajeev.
- Who is most handsome??? - Maine tumhara kya bigada hai?😕😭 Why are u making me do this? Ok... Iqbal and i am not happy having to choose😭
- Who had the best dialogue delivery??? - i cant chose between Shabbo and Hussain... both are good. Frankly the best dialogue delivery belongs to Sushant Singh... he has that punch. and Iqbal's voice makes everything he says 1000 times better😛
- And last but not the least, Who is your utmost favorite??? - You are still asking me? Rajeev😃

Q19. Tell me one way Rishi-Mahek trump Michi and vice versa.
Rishi and Mehak's communication was fab... they dont hide anything from eachother... they always share whatever is bothering them.... they support eachother... they cope with their problems together... and they make decisions of their lives together... They are very much in control of their lives... you will not find someone outside influencing them.... one because Rishi will tell that person off and Mehak is too sensible to allow outsiders affect their relationship.
Michi score because they didnt lose time to find and realise what they mean to eachother. They most importantly had time which Rishi and Mehak didnt have😭

Q20. Who is better as a rockstar, KP as Robbie or Iqbal as Angad (Enjoy choosing!!!)
Do u know i am going to be mad at you at the end of it?😡 I am more attached to Robbie... but since this is about their profession... so Angad... I think they concentrated on the Angad's Rockstar image more than Robbie's... and i think KYPH was a better show than Kasturi. Dont even dare to ask Robbie or Angad😡😆

Q21. Do you watch English shows??? If so which are your favorites???
Friends😃

Q22. Ok I'm going to steal ur question for Muneeza, if Rishi and Milind had a face-off, who would the edge go to??? (Actually I wanted to ask about Sujal and Milind... but knowing you, you'll tho make Sujal win at everything!!! 😡😆😆)
😈 i cant think of anything... I wont promise but will surely try to make one. BTW apko kya lagta hai... agar main Milind ko jeetva bhi doon... tho Rishi chup betega? the complaint will go straight to his Big B and phir jo hoga so hoga 😈

Q23. Which couple do you prefer, Rishi-Mahek or Michi... I know this is a difficult question for you, so if you can't decide, you can call it a tie 😃
It is no secret that I love Rishi more than Milind and I have waited for 3 years to see this guy settle down without ever giving up on him... i have patiently waited for 3 years for Mehak and Roshan to return to Rishi... It was more difficult for Rishi to make himself worthy enough to deserve Mehak and their children after what he had done... and since he went on to make a loving home for his small family... Rishi-Mehak is my choice. Michi is and will always remain very special and very close to my heart.


Q24. Do you not feel like killing the creatives of KTH for killing off Rishi and depriving Mahek and her son of their happiness??? I felt it was such an anti-climax ending... Mahek is such a good person, she surely does not deserve this... what about her son??? I dunno, I was totally dissatisfied with the way their love-story concluded....
Totally😡 Even though it was very tough to cope with Sujal's death... we knew exactly how it was going to happen so we were prepared for it... but Rishi's came unexpectedly. He was happily dancing 10 mins ago and then he is dead. I was watching that episode he was supposed to go back to Mehak after that party... i was looking forward to them having a happy family... I wanted a daughter for him, whom he will name Muskaan.... it will be a perfect family... Mehak, Roshan, Muskaan... each filling up Rishi's life with happiness... Mehak, the fragrance in his life, Roshan came as the light that did away with the darkness in him and then Muskaan completing it by becoming the lasting smile on her dad's face... But MAI😡 she and her stupid publicity stunts... I so strongly believe her decision to end Rishi's character had got to do with Kayamat and working on the sympathy factor of Shabbo's fans so that Kayamat is well received. It hurt the most to see Rishi leave behind a family😭 and worse for what and whom? That jerk?😡 I am never going to forgive Mai for this😡

Q25. And last but not the least, who is a better actor, Rajeev or Shabbo??? Who do you like more???... enjoy choosing 😈 Mwhahahahaha... *evil laugh*

It is official... you are so dead😡 Both of them are fantastic actors there are no two ways about that... but as an Actor i chose Rajeev because on technical grounds he is more aware and stronger and most importantly for Rajeev's uncompromising conviction when it comes to the Quality of his characters/work make me respect him all the more as an actor.
And as people.. I love both equally😃


Ok thats the end of part 1.... sorrrrry for making you pick between Rajeev and Shabbir, I know they're your ultimate favorites, I'd tho die if somebody asked me to pick between Iq and Shabbo... but I am a sadist when it comes to MOTW, I like torturing people with all tough choices...😈😆😆...
End of PART 1??? What do u have in mind? 😕

Enjoy answering!!!!

ya right... you make chose between Rajeev-Shabbo, Sujal-Rishi, Rishi-Milind and think i am going to enjoy it?😆
But Sweety... Thank you so much for the time you spend putting down these questions... I am truly touched.🤗
