Gaurav Jhakhar (Feedback) - Page 3

Mr. Singh, I commend you on holding true to your values and not selling out for media or publicity. I agree, it would be so easy for you to play up your status as "first male lead who's playing a gay character" or "one half of Indian televisions' first gay coupling." But would be in a way exploiting homosexuality as an other. It shouldn't be a big deal, but it is. That's the reality in which we live. Perhaps soon, we can break out of these labels and just accept actors as actors, and people as people. Without caring or wondering if someone is really gay or straight based on the role he/she plays.

Can't edit. I meant:

Thanks for interacting with us Daksh,

Honestly, I am following Maryada just because of Gaurav and Vidya's storyline which so brilliantly portrayed by you and vindhya.
As an actor, you are brilliant in Maryada, I mostly watch it for you, though others are also doing fab job.As for Gay track and all, I think it has given you opportunity to play rather complex character and us a chance to watch absolutely normal gay character onscreen instead of comic ones which were typical. Hats off to you pulling off those highly emotional and stressful character of Gaurav with aplomb.

As an artist, you are multi-talented - painter,poet,actor,model (I only know of this much), Please paint as much as you can and exhibit them , they are brilliant and needs to be appreciated just like your poetry which are so relatable.

On personla front,I have to say the more I read about you and see your comments(both fb,IF and interviews), I respect you more.

Small request, after watching Gaurav-Vidya's sizzling chemistry, Chinnu-Vidya seem like like teenage boy having crush on his teacher, please convey our displeasure with chinnu's character and please bring other strong character for Vidya.

Best of luck in all you endeavors.

exactly...pls. pass the word...noone wants chinue with vidya...and that will drop trps...let her be independent...this is a modern show...why can she not have her own identity...why does she have to be someones daughter or wife...

But my concern is something else, I will never promote such things who can spoil the youth of my country, I always want to do justice with my character as Gaurav (Gay)... So many people ask me so many things, are u the same person who is playing gay, and. Replied, yes, I m playing a gay character, u knw by just saying I can make an impact of a straight person's mind and I can make him realize if he has sm misconception abt this issue...

But I m sure I am in favor of giving all the gays same rights as straight people have on human level as a citizen of this great country and coz FREEDOM everyone needs, so does gays...

But I will never promote this thing, I guess promoting something and understanding something is far differ... :)

This is not about Gaurav. I don't want to see Karan keep going in this downward spiral. He needs to set himself straight (no pun intended, at all), pick himself up and continue with his life. Focus on his art. Focus on something. He shouldn't be seen in this state, and only getting out of that state once he reunites with Gaurav.

I think both characters can be stronger. One has done wrong, the other has been wronged with. Gaurav needs to fight harder to save his love from self-destruction and as said above Karan needs to realise this is not the way to deal with it.

Hey So nice of u to join us and interact with us. That's a huge deal
I think gaurav's character is so interesting and you are doing a great job with it. :)))) U rock and keep rocking!

Hi Dakssh, appreciate your efforts for making time to be on this forum personally. I love Maryada but only started following it after the Karan Gaurav epi was shown. Here in my country, we have Star Plus shows coverage delayed by at least a months episode. Maryada is only aired as a clubbed version ( 1 weeks episodes) on Thursdays and Sundays. The other TV cahnnels don't show Star Plus but only Sony and others. Just to let you know that I have been keeping up-to-date with this show through internet but I have quite a few relatives come over to my home just to watch Maryada. They all love it.

I Dnt read books, coz I talk to whom who hv rd most of them, and still they loosing the essence of true knowledge... :) So love to interact with every human as a human only... No one is inferior, Everyone is superior (D.A.S)
