I loved RK as Thakral yesterday. Please do not compare the character to any other character. I think Thakral is a character in himself and the way RK potrayed him yesterday has me curious to see more! It was a different character and certainly interesting from what I saw yesterday. Only hope that Ekta maintains the momentum and keeps this character gray and interesting.
We blame the television producers, creatives for the state of Indian television. But I feel somewhere the audience is also to blame. We complain of staleness of plot, characters but when we are given characters who are different from the normal, we start to complain! So, maybe the tv creatives are playing safe by giving very within the box characters!
Plus, yesterday was Thakral's first appearance in Kyunki! Lets give the character a chance to grow before we pass negative comments. Plus RK is an excellent actor, Ekta gave him this character based on his talent, so hopefully the creatives make this character gray but with a certain grace in that he is not made into another Ekta clown!
