Exactly yaar!
Because in the IVs they basically told to give them love as the originals and yes, it may feel a little offensive to an original fan but which actor doesn't? I have seen Sana saying the exact same thing after her every IV and NiyArsh too - that they'll work hard and expect people to love them.
Issue was with fans' reaction and yes - these aren't Nazar fans but fans of particular actors, so what can you expect?
Let me share an experience - Sana joined Perfect Pati a month or two before the show went off-air as the lead actress fell sick. So from the point I started to watch - I liked her portions and once even defended her that even in a original role an actor needs some time to settle; so please give her some time.
But then again it was a considerably short show and I watched the earlier episodes. Sayali was brilliant and if I compare - both the actresses were good but they had a completely different way of portraying the character. So any original fan would feel that there was something missing, even if Sana was appreciated personally for her portrayal.
The only thing that pissed me a little about the leads that they kept justifying it's a new story altogether. Arre yaar! Chalo woh bhi maan liya ki normal love story nahi thi, mentally challenged person ki story thi. But Daivik, Daavansh, Ekayan - yeh sab hawa mein udke aa gaye kya?
I didn't expect them to have precise idea but when you are joining a show without any gap, the least you could do is read the synopsis or talk with certain personnel. But yaha to! π€
And lastly, the only IV which pissed me off was where Shezaan told Indian audience can't seem to accept new jodi as they get too attached. He compared to Jodha-Akbar serial that TRP fell drastically when Selim-Anarkali plot was introduced. Then Bhai Sahab! The show was about Jodha and Akbar!!! Who would like it if they were subsided all of a sudden?
As far as Nazar is concerned, here I agree with Shezaan - they had an advantage that they started a whole new season and didn't replace anyone. But it came as a continuation, without any break. So this much of confidence that you got love and got appreciated was pure idiocy. Because Nazar had a core audience of 1.2 even after the most disastrous tracks. They opened just after the series finale and got a good number. In the following weeks the TRP decreased. So just enlighten me how did you get so sure within less than a month that you got accepted when actors take at least two months before commenting?
