Arjun is getting sidestepped - Page 5

While Arjun is a pivotal character and it is really sad that despite RD being a wonderfully versatile actor, they are wasting him in this stupid track of playing pining jeejaji and useless husband, I do think that they need to give him a spine now and show him to be mroe like his original go-getter Arjun who was introduced.

As for Onir, it is only right to give him some credit for coming in and saving the society ridden problems Purvi would have faced by being an unwed mother. also, for loving and taking so much care of a pregnant wife. In that sense, he is better than Arjun's character right now.

I don't think Onir will ever replace Arjun as a main lead, but I do think that right now all 4 of them are playing the leads by carrying the story forward and this included Ovi too. Ovi and Onir are pivotal characters along with ARjun and Purvi and this is due to the eventual good bye of Anki from the show. I guess the upcoming trakc is also solely focussed on the four of them, so to diss Onir for Arjun is quite not right. CV's are giving all 4 equal importance right now and that is the truth of the matter.

<div><font color="#660000">But do you think Pari, that the current character of Arjun can make him a lead. I don't see any hero quality in him or a reason why ppl will look up to him. He is even worse than Devdas (who you see I don't think much highly off</font><font color="#660000"> 😃</font><font color="#660000">), at least Devdas didn't mislead any women. It isn't the star power that pulls a movie or a serial. Many movies failed even with Hero like AB, just because the storyline isn't acceptable to the general conservative viewers. Heroes hardly are the only reason of a commercial success of a movie. Same is applicable to serial. Even I believe RK and ST can't really pull high enough TRPs. So, storyline and character's POV (good or bad) pulls a movie, remember Darr...I hardly see the Cvs are interested in giving a POV to Arjun or strengthen his character, he will forever remain or until, but then, it might be too late. Truly interested in your views...btw, my POV </font>

Pari, see this is what I feel about the fanbase. Btw, my POV only and I could be wrong.

The fanbase that RD command of the under 25 is much more outside India than within India. And that might be (?) substantial. But the fanbase within India, in my view is questionable - how large it is? Under 25 hardly sit all evening in front of TV, the remote of which is controlled by the mature women viewership. He also competes with many many others in the country. Whereas out of India, members are from all over the world and even then it might not even be in the 1000s. That is statistically a very insignificant number. Compare that to the under 25 viewership in India, it probably doesn't even matter. Ekta, being smart women knows all about the breakdown in the TRPs and the population that are her viewers. Yet, they dangle the carrot, just as Zee did in its valentine episodes; no one wants to disrupt a base that is already established - cause, hard to predict the under 25 fanbase strenght in India.

That is why I sometimes want to see Arjun and Purvi union, for I want see if TRP is affected. I don't really think it will. So Ekta will continue this way and if Arvi units, it will be the very last show, when to the business - it becomes meaningless...

I agree wtih you guys that Onir just does not have it in him to be the lead. Viewers want to watch someone like Arjun not Onir. You can't compare the two. Its like apple and orange. I've never been a fan of Onir. Just don't like the charachter whatsoever. Another thing is that there is NO chemistry between Onir and Purvi. I keep reading these updates in hope that they will reunite Purvi and Arjun. Only then I will return to watch PR.

I know only 1 thing that young viewers r crazy for rithvik. I was big fan of rithvik's first show PKYEK bt never liked his character as he was playing a negative role but still i remember even there he impressed the audience so well that people started praising a negative character.

No doubt onir can play a good role bt he needs another show, I dont think audience would like to accept him a lead where actor like rithvik is present.

How much arjun's character has been butchered or how much onir is sanskari is another thing. Leaving all craps aside like how much onir supporting a pregnant woman without any reason and arjun nt trying to get over with his first love coz Thats the writter who planned all craps. That doesnt mean audience cant accept RD as lead. Make a fair poll and see the result. I m damn sure arjun will win that poll.

And who said only sanskari men r known as the lead.? In indian television history sanskar should be there in women only its nt important to have good sanskar in men. There is a show Madhubala where lead is more worst than villain. Still audience want him as lead coz he is hot and have all qualities of lead.

if i talk about qualities of lead i guess RD is more handsome and charming.
