Please shaheer now's the time - Page 2

He does not have to, nor does anyone else. If he does it on his own accord that would be good but he isn’t obligated to.

No one from the cast needs to justify or call out the writers, which is why what Erica has done is commendable.

I don’t really think Sha will post to support Eri because they are two different individuals and not seen Shaheer making any post giving that hint !

Dev had only “ lost & confused expression “ and look of a unkempt appearance of a mechanic of Pavitra Rishta .

Don’t think he will post anything supporting her !

Yeah, I understand that... He doesn't generally say anything, but none of his shows have ended in drama like this either. I just feel like it would be nice if he made a statement

Yeah. That's what I thought. He looks like he used to it by now. It doesn't matter to him what happens. Many think like that. It's not wrong.... it's their ideology.

Earlier another show where he was playing “ Shajahan” also came to abrupt end actors were not paid their remuneration lead actress made statement and demanding her pay and some others too but Shaheer didn’t demand or blamed the producer he was silent .

I think he will keep silent on this issue too , his choice people must respect it .

True. What she has done is commendable.

People would think that what she did is for her personal gain... even then it isn't wrong. She herself said that she's thinking for herself.

A lot seems to have happened off-screen for her to take this step.

Whatever it is... I'm glad she spoke against something she thought what was going wrong.

The writer and makers did a number on her character and her. Pronouncing that she is the reason for the show going off-air wasn't needed, sometimes no response is also a response.

Sometimes the hardest thing is also the right thing, she seems sorted enough to know the implications of this and yet she went ahead. Has my respect.

If you assume the actors were fans of the show in S1, this is exactly how their disappointments will sound, what the fans of the OG show have been crying themselves hoarse about.

His character was butchered the most, I really want him to make a statement

I agree there. His character was butchered the most and still going on. Dev has been damaged so badly, it's just stunning. Even more than Sonakshi. The rest of the cast has been reduced to furniture with one-word dialogs. Except the one person the whole FD hates.

As for statement, that's his personal choice. I won't comment about that.

I think just because Erica did, we shouldn't expect Shaheer to do the same too. They are two different people probably with different ideologies & different approach to situations. And that's fine.

What Erica did is really commendable and I respect her for that.

But if Shaheer doesn't want to comment that's his choice & we should respect that too. And my guess is, he probably isn't even in a place to criticize the PH. They have given him freedom to work in multiple projects together which other PHs usually don't. Also, that surely had needed adjustments to be made to the schedules for him to make it possible & him voicing against them right now would make him look unprofessional & a backstabber.

don’t get me wrong, I love Shaheer and had a huge crush on him; but I didn’t feel like he was giving his all this season. I could be wrong here, but I couldn’t feel that intensity of his acting.

You are right, he looked bored at best. He was only here for the paycheck this season or so it seemed and if he doesn't back up Erica on this, I'd be really disappointed in him. It'll be a slap to the fandom who loved him as Dev and I say this as his longtime fan from Navya days.

Itna bhi diplomatic nahi hona chahiye that self respect takes a back seat. This is why Erica has my utmost respect for speaking up.

Shaheer has reached the pinnacle of his career, is so successful, he doesn't have anything to fear. He should've been the first one to speak out but alas, I'm so disappointed

He is not obligated to do anything just coz Erica has done it. As someone said here he has more than 10 years of experience in ITV...so he must be used to it by now.

Speaking up is a choice as well as not speaking up. We should not force either of the options on anyone.

Nobody forcing him to speak up for God's sake. People here are merely hoping out he does so, out of sheer disappointment in this disaster season.

No one needs to spell out he doesn't owe it to us. Of course it's so damn obvious and one has their own approach to things.

We fans were only discussing it would be nice of him to speak up for Erica and the character he was so much loved for. But of course, it's his call. I won't be a lesser fan but I'd definitely be disappointed which is totally my choice as you stated.
