I went and watched the episode just now. It is really the pits.😡


I immediately messaged Utkarsh Naithani, who is now Head of Creation at Swastik since a few months, and who is an old and very good friend of mine since my DKD Mahadev and Mahakumbh days, both of which he wrote, to tell him exactly what I felt about it, adding that viewers were quitting Porus in droves, and no wonder.

Of course he does not write Porus, as he was quick to clarify😆, with the story being by SidT and the screenplay by one Medha, But he said he knew exactly what I was upset about, and that he was "trying to see how something can be salvaged.". Frankly, I can't see how anything can be salvaged from this shipwreck, but I am sure he will do his best.

He is going to write Chandragupta Maurya, and I warned him not to be shanghaied into writing such muck there . He is doing Radhakrisn now, and had messaged me at 3 am on October 1 wanting me to see the one hour inaugural episode, which I did just to please him. Let me see what he is able to do about Porus.

Shyamala Aunty


so how was the first episode of radha krishn .

He is not claiming anything, Vaishnavi, and in any case he is not responsible for this muck. I don't see why you or anyone else should be angry with Utkarsh. He feels ashamed, and so he is saying something to soothe me. I had already noted that nothing can be done.

As for SidT suffering anything for this, nothing will happen to him. If you had followed my advice, nothing would have happened to you either.

Aunty, what can he do? Is he going to convert the episode into a dream sequence?! Nothing can be done! There's nothing on earth which can justify Alexander doing what he did! 😡 His claim to make it look better is making me angrier 😡 Aunty, is there nothing we can do with SidT?! Anything!! I just want to see him suffering because of what he did with Alexander! Is there no place where we can complaint about this? 😡

After you guys explained how it works with the contracts and all, I have calmed down a bit, but I still need time to process how I feel about Rohit. Right now, he's being bashed by heartbroken fans on social media for accepting to do such a scene. Just as he received immense praise for not just playing Alexander, but being Alexander, on the flip side people will take that scene and associate it with him somehow. I don't envy him his position at the moment.

As for SidT, there's a special section in a very warm place for people like him. The fact that he owns the rights to the show gives him ultimate freedom to do whatever he wants, with the channel having less clout than they usually would.

I hope this spells their decline. They don't care about TRPs anymore but I hope their PH is put on the map/boycott list immediately by viewers.

In the social sense, considering the current climate in India and concerns about rape, showing it as a means of exercising power is yet another facet that was completely unnecessary to bring to our screens. SidT's conscience clearly doesn't bother him and he probably sleeps quite well on his bed of $$$$ notes.

Ek baat batao mujhe...agar actor aur character ka koi relation hote...toh saare log joh negative roles karte...unhone toh acting karni hi nahi chahiye thi...matlab unka dil kaise maanta hain jaise cheeje agar beech mein aa jaaye...toh phir toh koi negative nahi play karega...ranveer played khilji and it was done soo badly just to suit the film...real khilji wasnt that bad...soo is ranveer the culprit...???..nooo ...he is appreciated for his acting...actors ka kaam acting hain...rohit sirf tab galat hota agar usse joh diya jaata ...usse woh nibha nahi paata...if he couldnt convince audience to hate him...but he convinced...shows he did his job well...hating him for the storyline is just not right in my openion. Actors ki kaun sunta hain yaar...RP kept saying in hitler that zara ko negative mat turn karo...but they had to end role...toh unhone kiya aur bahut bure tarike se kiya...again swastik ka komal ke liye dialougue bhi usse sahi nahi laga tha...so did things change ???...bola hi na usne woh dialougue...kiya hi na zara ka saara negative part act. Actors hardly have say in this. And regarding rohit loving swasthik...why shouldnt he love them...swasthik gave him sabse ache roles ...his biggest two projects are with swasthik...why wont he be thankful to them...he is working with them for years now...the team is like a family to him...if you guys expect that he should start fighting with people ki nahi yaar main real alexander ki bahut izzat karta hoon ...aur yeh scene nahi karoonga...toh yeh expectation hi illogical hain...he hardly knows about real alexander...he is as illterate about alexander as i am...and he learn through show...through his script. I understand you guys are hurt...i understand if you say that you all are disappointed and disgusted with sony alexander...and cvs have really done a pathetic job...i completely agree...but disappointed with rohit...why him guys. He is not at fault. Usne apni taraf se share kiya hoga...makers ne usse pacify kar diya hoga and he performed which is his responsibility. And rohit ke liye alexander ki izzat ...swasthik se uske bond se upar nahi hogi...kyonki woh toh history person bhi nahi hain...neither he is into reading...woh alex ke baare mein hardly hi script se bahar cheeje jaanta hoga.

Yes, Surbhi SidT writes for Porus too.

As for what you said about Rohit, I understand your point. I understand his limitations.
He did say in the beginning of the show that he had read about Alexander The Great before even watching how he was depicted in other shows and movies. He wasn't interested in history before the show, but in order to prepare for it he read up. So yeah, maybe he does or doesn't revere the legendary character the way some of us do. Who knows?

Even before yesterday's episode we were talking about how he should cut himself loose from Swastik because of the ridiculous plots in this show. The roles they offered him as Mirza and now Alexander were both based on real life characters, no creativity from the PH required there in terms of conceiving a character sketch. If the initial Macedonian segments had been stupid we wouldn't have felt this way, but the storyline deteriorated to a ridiculous level later on. It was hard to believe the same PH gave us the first 100 episodes or so considering what they did from the Faras segments onwards - it's like being dropped out of an airplane without a parachute.

He had said in one of the launch interviews that the makers had shared the script with him, so no clue what really happened. I agree with you that actors who choose to play negative roles and become very convincing because of their performance are just doing their job, just like the actors who played Darius and Shivdutt were doing their jobs.

In the case of Sony Alexander, the actor and character became one in the minds of many fans, so detaching the two is easier said than done. Logic dictates we treat it as just another actor playing a negative character on screen very convincingly but emotions don't follow logic, do they?

SidT could have made both the Porus and Alexander roles iconic without resorting to such means, but he doesn't have that vision.

I am sure Rohit will learn from this experience and exercise caution next time. Anyway, it's his decision what to do with his life and career, which I should respect. He is a very sensitive guy and all the bashing on social media is going to affect him, which I do feel bad about.
