DD AT 26**Tu itni khoobsurat hai, fida deedaar pe tere** - Page 10

At the end of the day, whatever it is, Ekta has put in effort into Pardes. She put her most famous writers and directors who wrote hit shows like BALH, YHM, etc. on the show like Muzzamil Desai and Sonali Jaffar. In fact, Ekta waited years to make Pardes; she had originally wanted to make the show after Geet and she has even expressed she always wanted to cast Arjun and Drashti together. She paid a vast sum of money for shooting abroad in Austria and even created a huge-scale set in India for authenticity. Naina's character as well has been very strongheaded if anything and indeed I appreciated seeing a strong, empowered woman like her onscreen so I don't feel cheated in that sense as a viewer. Moreover, the focus has always been on the leads and we did see a disparate, less tried and tested story in this show. In terms of sets, DOP work, visual quality, etc. the show has been top notch due to production.

We have to consider that she also runs so many other shows, makes films, and has been laboriously working on an online application too...but still she cares for her actors, she provides them the best comforts on set! Just see the amazing vanity vans the actors have! I thought it was a house at first! 😆She does what she can in order to make actor's working experience smooth and she is known to be very professional and pays very well too. Jeetu ji even visited the sets recently and met all the actors.

Ultimately, for me the more culpable villain in this story is the channel, SP who has not promoted the show well and have shown complete disinterest! 😡
