Ah I differ.
the jodi will be popular I have no doubt abt it. but the rate at which they are going with the violence, if they continue with it that too against the Paro (not just Ridra lilling her husband cz he would be doing his job but if after knowing she is innocent) then male lead alone who will be more popular than the jodi I feel.
the biggest problem with Rishbala was that most ppl I know stopped shipping them actively coz even though not physically abusive what RK did to Madhu in the form of unwedding and more so miscarriage was way too atrocious. unwedding still fit in in the garb of RK jot having realised his love..but since the heroine track his behaviour was way too off putting. But by that time there were enough ppl who had fallen for RK so hard that they continued to support, justify him no matter how wrong he was. The balance in MB was always stitlted. it was always focus and development on one character vs everything else for the first 7-8 months. I havent seen DDEJ bt am aware of the basic story and it was better there. with RR, I know its too early hut I see the same happening
Its like darker the story, more the focus on the dark character and trying to establish him. To create drama the line of acceptable is crossed but to continue with the couple it is later short shelled and viewers are left disatified
Anyway I disgressed.
what I mean to say is Ridra can get more popular than the couple if in a bid to stretch the drama they make him negative in their love story so much that ppl stop shipping the couple
As for looks, BS, KSG and GC dont look as good as VD does. (Full credit to Gulbano for grooming them) neither were they had any following like VD had when they started IPK or Geet (KSG being an exception) so u never know
maybe RR is to Ashish what IPK was to Sobti or Geet to GC or MB to VD
funny thing. I cannot imagine Ashish pulling off a RK or VD pulling off a Rudra (he is too polished) but the femape leads of all these shows are so similar in a way that I can totally imagine them beibg interchanged
Too bad that the writers of our shows hardly have any creativity when it comes to love hate stories
PS: I hope Pennu or Priya dont kick me for discussing RR
Have u joined that forum Bahnni?
