Okk... I've reached late here , but still would like to pour my 2 cents to it 😊
First of awesome post ! Take a bow for such a bold & logical post 😳
Now lets come to your discussion topic . You know... I'm just so lost here... I don't know what to say...from the very first week of Sultan's entry the character turned me off . This "Criminal with a golden heart" itself was such an absurd , disgusting concept ! Normal Indian trp audience (who r mainly housewives of middle 30-40) could never connected to this concept . But instead of discarding the gold plating idea , he was being gold plated more & more & in order to do so the main leads were being coal plated ! I seriously couldn't understand why its happening ? From December we were getting articles that Sultan is going to be the "Antagonist" of the show , then why he was being treated as if he is the protagonist ? & the original protagonists , both Madhu & RK was being butchered like hell , RK's butchering almost made him the antagonist to make the supposed to be "antagonist" a protagonist ! Why ??? Yes , Drashti's character was never on alarming danger , coz she is the name character , so her place was bound to remain intact , but that doesn't change the fact that her character was butchered mercilessly to make this Criminal look golden hearted . RK was a grey hero from begining , but post Bhai's entry he was being painted Solid Black & the supposed to be antagonist white , whiter , whitest with each passing day . Then came a statement , Sultan is also a lead ! & then the picture became crystal clear . All these are just simple politics ! nasty politics ! To give someone the throne which someone else deserved . Here I will just share a quick fact . Did you watch Chal Sheh aur Maat ? I've watched it . Even there too Kabir Jaiswal was the "Antagonist" , Neha & Rishi were the protagonists . But after a month...voila ! The lead female Neha herself was turned negetive , it was shown she was actually Aditi , the lead male Rishi too was turned negetive & then even was shown the exit door & guess what ? Kabir Jaiswal was promoted to Male protagonist ! That time I felt really weird . The hero is turned out to be a villain , the heroine turns out to be a vamp & villain turns out to be real hero that was too much to digest & I stopped watching that show just wondering how can this happen ? But now it makes perfect sense to me why did it happen . Now everything falling in place . Looks like someone has a serious problem of sticking to the role he is assigned . He takes up projects promising to serve the duty of an antagonist , but then by hook or crook tries to achieve the crown of lead protagonist . In CSAM he was successful , because neither CSAM was a popular show nor the actor who played Rishi was a popular face . But in MEIEJ he failed miserably . Mainly because audience loved their Rishbala too deeply & secondly because the audience loved RK way too much . To reduce their RK love RK's character was butchered mercilessly , first turned him into a jealous jerk , then a kidnapper & abuser , then a doubtful psycho...but still audience loved RK ! That was the impact of that character which the other character failed to create even after so much gold plating 🥱 & after 6 months continuous torture , finally we are getting rid of him . & there's no need to tell how much happy the audience is by this news .
Lets come to VD now . Seriously while all this politics was going on , in a try to snatch his crown & place it on channel's favorite head I felt too bad for him . Whatever Madhubala was pre Bhai entry , a show with 4+ trp...it was due to his & DD's hardwork . I'm not trying to minimise DD's credit...she obviously contributed equally as the leading lady , but Madhu's character was way too ordinary . Just an adarsh hindu nari type of character . It was mainly RK's character which took the show to that peak of success & it was Vivian who made RK so successful ! Now just imagine ! A guy who was there from begining , gave his 110% to the show & made it that popular , suddenly being tried to sidelined so that a new guy , who didn do anything for that show (later we saw made the trp "rise" from 4+ to mere 2 🥱 ) could be given his place ! How would have Vivian felt ? But whatever he felt he didn't let that come out to public . He didn't show any disrespect towards the channel or PH . Even when the channel tried to tarnish his image (what a great move in politics 👏 butchering RK didn't help , so lets tarnish Vivian's image now !) showing him as tantrum king just bcoz he demanded a pay rise , even then he didn't utter a word against the channel ! I mean what was there to make it such a hype ? In any office , after a certain period employees do demand a payrise . Its their reward for their hardwork ! Why VD demanding it was published & promoted in such a negetive way ? Because someone else was to be painted with professionalism & sweetness's paint 🥱 but even all these didn work , trp finally showed him the exit door & now we are getting articles saying cyberbullying disturbing him so much that its hampering his career 😳 ! Seriously ? Does anyone have any idea what kind of cyberbullying Vivian faced after that unwedding track ? What number of hate messeges & tweets he used to recieve that time ? Some were even as lame as "Vivian , you moron ! Stop hurting Drashti" 😲 !! But he just didn't care about them , in fact he doesn even appear in fb or twitter twice on same fortnight 😆 This is how to tackle cyber bullying ! But look at other wanna be , at one side regularly coming to twitter to reply fans , but on other side crying cyberbullying stopping him from building a career !!
Well what to say ! I seriously hope Mr. Rekhi learns to tacke the cyber fans , if he really wishes to make a place in this industry & Just hats off to Vivian for his professionalism & dedication to his work 👏 He really handles situation in a too matured way just at the age of 25 & instead of playing blame game he always tries to focus on his work first & that's what gave him this popularity , this much love from audience 😳
Abhay Raichand & Superstar RK ainvayi automatic popular nahi hua , the actor made those characters this much lively , this much adorable 😳
