Hey, this is the first post I’ve checked in the forum in a while and I wanted to give my opinions. It is a rather long post so do bear with me:
1. This is a fictional show and these are fictional characters. I understand that we get deeply attached to them but still let’s try not to get so worked up about them and fight with real people for them. We are separated and connected by a screen but there is another person at the end of the screen.
2. I’m pretty sure 99.9% of people on this forum ship Raghvi and love Raghav Rao. Comparisons are probably made in jest to lighten up the mood.
3. About positive Mandhaar, I don’t have as much experience in ITV as you, but as someone who consumes fictional content I want Pallavi to choose Raghav because she loves him and not because Mandhaar is pathetic. It would be more significant and less cliche if she chooses Raghav despite his flaws because no one else can be Raghav.
4. About comparisons, I don’t see how it is wrong for people to compare characters in a show. If they compare the actors, on anything apart from their acting skills it is wrong but apart from that people have the right to use this forum to compare and I do not consider it senseless or out of their limits. I understand you like most people love Raghav much more than you will Mandhaar but calling him bandar and shaming others for comparing the two of them isn’t very nice.
5. In the unlikely event that some people like Mandhaar more than Raghav they are entitled to do so and they also have the right to write about it provided they aren’t too aggressive and follow the other rules of the forum. They aren’t necessarily stupid they will just have a different opinion.
6.In the even more unlikely event that writers decide to the change the ML, as a fandom we can protest and ask the writers not to do so but I don’t see how attacking other people is going to bring out a positive outcome. Once again I doubt this would happen but even then worst case scenario, we’ll have to leave the show.
I would like to end by cycling back to my first point. In a forum, which is a ground for discussion, there are bound to be disagreements. If posts which have different opinions bothers you so much I would request you to avoid them or post a milder opinion unless the others have been aggressive, tacky or disregarded social and forum rules in what they say. You have already written that your opinion is rude so you are aware of the fact but I believe one can also be straightforward without being rude. In the best interests of this forum let’s try to be polite even in our disagreements. At the end of the day this is a fictional show and these are fictional characters, but the actors and the people who are part of this forum are very much real.
