Thanks to highly visible platforms like social networking sites, TV show buffs are expressing their opinions about the shows pretty openly these days. They forced Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon off the air once Barun Sobti exited the show, bashed its new season, questioned Rakesh Vashishth's entry in Qubool Hai and demanded Rudra Paro's love story in Rangrasiya. Now, ever since Vivian D'sena's return to Madhubala was announced last week, the fans are divided over his entry. While some want Abhay Kapoor (Gunjan Utreja) to continue playing the lead opposite Madhu (Drashti Dhami), others are welcoming the change. Some are also opposed to Gunjan Utreja's character turning negative.
A fan wrote on Facebook recently, "Hope that, they will not ruin GU's role just to make VD as a lead! #Madhubala." Another said, "If Vivian marries Madhu, I will stop watching the show." Another fan was even more specific: "OMG no! And Abhay turns into a negative character? No no no no no no no no. This is heights! Shut the d**n show for god's sake. I want Abhay-Madhu together, anyhow!" The logical lot had their own reasoning, "The creatives of the show, please explain the moral and logical sense behind a girl falling in love with a man who looks exactly like her father!"
When we spoke to producer Abhinav Shukla, he said, "The leap of 18 years was also not liked by the fans, but it turned out to be just fine. As of now, people don't know what character Vivian would be coming back in. So, I can just ask them to be patient, support the new track and give us their feedback after they have seen Vivian." He added that he has been getting positive feedback from fans on his social networking pages regarding Vivian's return to the show.
