*A VruShan post, please keep it to that refrain from mentioning others.

ShantanuMaheshwari, A person on whom I can go on and on, even though not a typical fan girl but definitely an admirer of him.Dated back to 2011, is when we saw a lad in his 19 step into this big ruthless industry. Never did anyone know or had even a least bit of idea that he'll be one of the most popular faces of Indian television in the future. When D3 started, there was only Swayam the loverboy present in most of our hearts, people were head over heels for Swayam but not Shantanu, so what changed people's perspective and made them love Shantanu more than Swayam! I'll list em in points :)

1: SwaRon, for me till 2013 it was ONLY Swayam's story and NOT SwaRon! It was Swayam the loverboy who made me believe in SwaRon story, and all thanks to Mr Maheshwari for playing the role so well that, never for once I felt the dearth of Sharon's stance in the story! The way Swayam the loverboy began and the way Shantanu portrayed the loverboy character, it just made me ignore the other part of SwaRon story. I still say Swayam the loverboy is nothing real but it's all hypothetical, but the way Shantanu carried off this character is something inexplicably! He made me feel that Swayam can be true too. The love of Swayam towards Sharon carried 100s of emotion in it,and required an experienced hand to handle it, but Shantanu being just 19 with 0 experience in theater managed it beautifully single handedly! So kudos to his efforts and also kudos to Palki Maam for choosing him as our Swayam, if not him I DONT think anyone else could have justified it :) Right from his looks to the way he carried himself was just bang on! So I would say, It's only Shantanu who can be Swayam the loverboy and none can even match Upto him. Period.

2: Initially I had no clue about the offscreen matters of D3, but suddenly I came across few things which hurt me, but increased my respect for him. This was in 2012 when not only SwaRon story had to undergo the rough patch but Shantanu too had to bear the brunt! Yes, it was when D3's offscreen issues began affecting onscreen flow of the show. This was the time when people bashed him relentlessly without any wrong of his. It hurt me to see people bashing him on a personal level because of other's wrong doings. It also hurt me to see a person who was always ready to do anything for SwaRon being bashed to an extent where his professionalism was being questioned due to others wrong doings! And it was all the more hurting to see people misunderstood him so easily that the didn't even think what might he had to undergo due to all this. Though not a fan girl as such, but these things definitely hurt me. But but, even after going through all this was there anything lacking in his portrayal of Swayam onscreen? NO! He portrayed the character with same conviction and dedication, without even letting people know that he has been having a rough time. That's what is called dedication. He justified the character with same utmost perfection even when he was going through rigorous bashing by the fans! Hatsoff to this guy for being a thorough professional at this young age :) He made me love Swayam and him more and more! In one word #Respect!

The time passed, and swaron got a new facet when Vrushika Mehta stepped in as Sharon. Initially I wasn't keen about following the show as I had lost interest in it, but an interview of Shantanu came up where he requested fans to give Vrushi a chance, and also kept on stressing about the hardwork that she put it! This is when I decided to give SwaRon story a chance and today I happily say that I made a right decision of giving it a chance. Not only I see a happier SwaRon now but also a happier Shantanu now. Today I love SwaRon because of Shantanu whose confidence on Vrushika and Palki maam gave us fans a confidence in SwaRon! So thanks to him!

Lastly I would say is, Shantanu your contribution to SwaRon story is beyond words! Im a proud Shantanu fan, a proud Vrushi fan and a proud VruShan fan :)

Swayam-Sharon love story was always done from the POV of Swayam untill VM entered in 2013 and the love-story got Sharon's pov too.So, to call him the MAIN pillar of SwaRon would be quite apt. Swayam's character and Shantanu literally built the foundation of the SwaRon love-story single-handedly.
In 2011 many fans use to watch SwaRon love story only coz they connected to only Swayam.( the writing and the portrayal both) . Swayam's character never got a special entry neither got special promos but still slowly and steadily won hearts and how.
Coming to off-screen matters, don't feel like digging old matters here and how the wrong blame some fans still put on him...it surely gets on my nerves coz he was never ever at fault. However, you know why he is a thorough gentleman???? Coz unlike other TV actors from different shows, he could have very easily spoken about the off-screen issues that had cropped up in latter 2011 and 2012 of which he was at the receiving end but he kept his calm and chose not to. Though i wish someday he does coz I hate see him getting trashed for things he hasn't even done.
And now in 2013-14, what a treat it was to finally see the lover-boy Swayam finally get to play romantic Swayam, passionate Swayam and Shantanu did perfect justice to the writing there and still is.Its like with every year, as Swayam's character grew ,Shantanu kept spreading his ability as an actor too.😊
And SHANTANU MAHESHWARI for me was, is and will remain D3's most versatile actor and dancer.

Beautiful post
Yes Shantanu Maheshwari and Swayam is the main pillar and the base of SwaRon love story, a young boy of 20 portrayed the character so brilliantly that we cant ever imagine anyone else doing this role. In the beginning I was so in love with Swayam that I barely even noticed or acknowledged the other S of the story.
His off screen persona was not so endearing as his onscreen character in the first stages of D3 so for me I didnt really care much for Shantanu but I was really angry when his integrity and innocence and professionalism were personally attacked due to the faults of others cause one look at his face and you can see that he can do no wrong.
Then in 2013 , I saw a whole new Shantanu Maheshwari and was completely bowled over by the fun loving prankster yet still respectful of everyone feelings and space. I would definitely thank VM for nothing more than allowing Shan to be himself and give him his personal space.
I have always seen and maintained that SwaRon is a story through Swayam's eyes and will remain to do so
Love VruShan / Respect for both

Amazing post Anu 👏
Like others i too have been a Swayam fan first and then gradually fell in love with Shantanu Maheshwari the personna.Sometimes i think some things ought to had happen coz otherwise we would have never known what exactly was going behind the screen and mostly we would have never known Shantanu as a person.It hurts really and surprises me too how one could question this man when all he did right from the starting of the show is give his whole and soul to it????? He always have set an example of a hardworking,genuine,down to earth and a no nonsense gentleman.And i am proud of him..a lot..The way he has always kept his calm no matter what the situation was,specially the times when people dint leave any chance of pouncing on him pointing out what he did wrong.-__-.
I had mentioned this to him in one of my gifts being sent to him on his bday.and i will and always b firm on tht "One word respect and you hav earned it" .yes he has .😊
I can proudly say today i am a proud Shantanu Maheshwari fan and a proud Vrushika Mehta fan (if i will start writing about her it would look like another post 😆 )
