Is Chemistry that important?

I might be inviting bricks and belans by making this post. But again I had a doubt and I just needed to get it out of my system.

Before I ask my question, I have to state that I love JB and to me JB=KS. There are no two ways about it. Period. Infact, even now, it is almost over for me.

Everyone has been comparing chemistry here for both JB and AB and using "Chemistry" as the main reason why AB should not be paried. There are also claimed that there is absolutely "no chemistry" between JB.

I am being a neutral party here and asking a simple question - Is chemistry that important a factor for someone to be paired together?

I mean I have seen some serials, where unfortunately the leads dont share that fantastic a chemitry, yet they have become good couples. Frankly, I dont think chemistry is something that is considered by producers when they determine their casts. Maybe they do, but I feel chemistry is something that is a result of the involved actors comfort levels and capabilities.

Another more common reason I have seen for AB not being is a good pair is "age". Infact, its used for JB too. There are claims the AD or JW are too old for Bani.

But does love really see age? And why do we need this as a reason to support or put down a particular pair?

And finally shouldn't it be Bani's choice afterall for who she wants to spend her life with?

AD and JW in their own ways have betrayed Bani and have/will cause her tremendous pain. Why are we trying to make a decision here? I know we have opinions, but do we have to use reasons that are not even backed by any substantial evidence?

I know we have seen JB chemistry, AB have to still prove it. JB despite the age differnece worked, AB have to yet prove this. So why cant we just wait for a few more days and see what happens?

And if we strongly believe in our reasons, why not go to the people who are making these decisions and argue with them rather than fighting amongst ourselves?

Very nice post Rivya 👏 👏

I agree. We are jumping to conclusions when nothing has even happened. IF by chance AB do happen...are you going to argue with their fans? Surely you should take these complaints to the creatives. The fans do what they know best...love their stars. They don't have the capabilities to make decisions in storylines. So why fight amongst each other?

Chemistry is important...in terms of attracting people to that couple, but not soooooo important either. AB r totally gonna happen 👏 , permanent basis...i m not sure, but it will 😳

Great topic Rivs...I was looking to post one such..

NO chemistry is not important.

However, LOVE is...HEART is...

This is my take on the whole issue.

Bani even though now she is angry with Jai, she still loves him and will love him deeply. Even if Jai was never able to be a good husband, Bani's love for him is true and that should be respected.

If she is going to marry AD, it would means she will kill her heart. I dont want that. She can stay alone with the kids and survive.

If one day, she decides to moves on, she can...But killing the heart and marrying someone without any interest or love is betraying oneself. Untill today, everyone has betrayed Bani, now I dont want Bani to betray herself by getting in a loveless marriage. 😊

And as you said, there is no point fighting amongst ourselves. I think it is because, it is believed that people of BT visit the forum, people want to make their points clear to them.😕

I tend to disagree...yes chemistry will attract u to a couple...but the first reason u even look at the couple is coz u like the actor...

and in order for the couple to be successful, u need chemistry and good story and direction...

No comments on whether AB will happen or not...😉

Rivya,

"Chemistry" is extremely subjective. I've read alot of posts about who has chemistry and who doesn't have chemistry and everyone is indeed entitled to their opinions. However, to answer your question, for me, "chemistry" in all its variations is extremely important simply because I genuinely believe that "chemistry" ultimately equates understanding and when two co-actors share a common understanding, it translates on screen, thus infusing life into the characters and making the audience feel extraordinarily passionate about the characters (rightly or wrongly, sanely or insanely).
With regard to Kasamh Se, I personally feel that it is because of the understanding that Ram Kapoor and Prachi Desai share as CO-ACTORS and as INDIVIDUALS that they have been able to infuse life into Jai and Bani as a pair. Alot of people have cribbed about the age difference between Ronit Roy and Prachi Desai as a reason for their lack of "chemistry." I personally feel that age is no barrier and shouldn't be a factor. For me, Ram and Prachi are the perfect testament of this as they too share an extremely huge age gap (which could have been a disadvantage to them if age was indeed a factor), yet they share an amazing understanding which translates as chemistry (touchwood). Similarly, age shouldn't be a factor with Ronit Roy and Prachi Desai but for some it is simply because some do not feel nor see that understanding translate onscreen. Granted this is all fictional, but the bottom line is that it is the actors who ultimately infuse life into characters and if the actors cannot bring to life fictional characters, then no matter how good a story is, it simply will not connect.

On another note, some say that the character of AD hasn't had a chance to prove it's capabilities. I've always maintained that it's not the duration of time that matters but the quality in presentation.

Thanks meena...

yes love is more important...and frankly...its our assumption Bani will be heart broken to accept AD...we dont know...not yet... she might find more happiness there for all we know...a caring husband, a caring MIL, clones and all...

As for BT people coming here...I know they do...but do they actually read all the posts in details that every page has to screm the same thing...

Also isnt one topic enough? do we have to have the exact same titles in every other topic?

I personally believe that the most important thing in any series is the storylines.

Things like chemistry may help, but effective and interesting storylines are what keeps the ship afloat.

If a couple have all the chemistry in the world, but absolutely no effective storylines, then the series will crash to the ground.

Jai and Bani USED to have chemistry... but after they got together, the storylines went out of the window. After a while, they had nothing other than long flashback scenes... and then the series started to sink and that led to more disasters like ONS.

So, I think chemistry may be important... but not as important as storylines 😊

God bless.

Thanks Rani for the above statement... We have seen RK and PD work together for a long time and hence we know that they are awesome together on screen...

RR is relatively knew and if not more than just as senior when it comes to PD...lets see what they have to offer...

And I agree chemistry makes us passionate about them...but why do we claim there is none without even giving them a chance to execute it on screen..

And thanks for agreeing that Age does not matter..
