Ashnoor's post felt so bittersweet...seeing HS,Babita, Lala, Naeembi, Khatri, Bobby, Preet, Mickey and Mini too to some extent and then that trademark PB tune ☹️

Nice to see the portions with the original PB cast....I guess I got my closure a while back.
Ashnoor both gained some, and then lost a lot with this show IMO. The gains obviously were all in season 1....season 2 was a debacle on all fronts and has tarnished whatever goodwill and kudos she had accumulated in many years of working as a child artist in TV/films.
PB2 is a watershed....there is no regaining that stature and the loss of innocence from this point on. She literally played an underage looking girl romancing a man twice her age and it looked hell creepy.....that is the last image she is leaving us with in this show when she could have left us with a powerful image of the Mini from season 1 despite the flaws in her character.
But we all have to live with our choices. Ashnoor fully laid her career in the hands of Rajita Sharma and she seems to have immense faith that Rajita alone can give her everything in her career. Time will tell.
All I can say is that the PH is getting a good dose of Karma for pushing such a pathetic season 2. They got everything wrong from the writing to the casting.....as far as I know, the TRPs were abysmal too but they kept afloat on channel ki meherbaani.....ab usi channel ko gaaliyaan pad rahi hain.....LOL what a way to go down after gaining kudos for a distinguished season 1.
This will become a cautionary tale for how badly a show can sink when the ego of the writers flies so high that they are blinded to their own terrible casting choices. I will categorically state that everyone was terribly cast in Season 2....Ashnoor had no business playing a 23 year old when she doesn't remotely look the part.....that kid of HS-Babita....I can't even remember her name now....lol SO badly cast without any charm or acting ability......SRJ's most horrible career choice ever after playing iconic roles like Krishna. This whole thing was a flaming dumpster fire that I guess is fittingly going down in flames. Good riddance.
I can compartmentalize and happily remember PB 1 for the amazing writing and casting....they were all perfect for their parts. PB2 is a nightmare best dismissed from memory.
And Ashnoor beta....I know you are in a desperate hurry to grow up, but please give your body language time to catch up or there will just be more career misfires for you. Don't waste your talent so badly in myopic decisions. Waiting for 3-4 years to play an adult isn't going to be the end of the world.
