When the new cassst is getting criticism, I would like to point out certain things.

More than the cast, it is the writers and directors fault.

About old cast. Except for four or five who gave flawless performances, others had flaws and were not consistent enough. But what made them admirable was the zest they showed and they were lucky enough to get the best scenes. And they had the advantage of working in a brand new show unlike the present ones working in a show that is not new but went on and on.

So I will give some benefit of doubt to the new ones.

Mahi is connected to anandi becausing she is portraying her daughter and we all know how the daughter was. A spunky girl taking impulsive decisions and fun loving. Never looked bechari even when she was beaten almost to death. So no excuses here.

But Avinash(Dr.Amit) is not connected to Jagya in any way just because he is also a doctor. Amit's way of handling cases and acting will be different and it should be different.

As for Ruslaan, his is also not a new character. A carefree NRI Just like Gulli's husband but he is portraying it in his own manner and its not bad.

So I will give some benefit of doubt to these two.

But I will not forgive the new writers and new directors who have exhibited little or no vision so far.

Mahi Vij is not someone new. She had been around for more than 10 years.So there is no excuse.She is the weakest link.
She has been given a good role which is well defined and there are enough references about how the role should be played.If she can't learn then she is definitely not worth my time spent watching the show.

She is totally wrong for the role.No amount of make up can make her look like she is 29.Even with all that make up she looks older than 40+Anandi.

Ruslaan can't act to save his life.Neither am I interested in his character

Avinash is okay I guess but I am not interested in his character either.He can do better with better writers and directors.

Writing and direction the less said the better.

There is another show on Colors right now where the original creative team was sacked/made an exit and this particular show is supposedly going off air soon.
Colors seem to have repeated the same thing with Balika Vadhu too. But the exit of the BV creative team made news only because it happened with a show like Balika Vadhu and the creative team has many successful and critically acclaimed shows apart from Balika Vadhu. Since the writers as well as the director were big names on their own they could be heard.

Don't know what will happen to Balika Vadhu with new creative team.

Talking about the tag line Lamhe pyar ke - They gave such a beautiful love story for Anandi and Shiv which is one of the best love stories on Indian Television this was despite Balika Vadhu being a show with social message.

Hmmm... its not just the new cast or directors but it is also about what does the show have to offer.
This show has been on and on like forever. Therefore the crispness reduced eventually.
We cannot overlook the fact the there is nothing we are looking forward to in the show anymore.

As viewers we were connected to little Anandi whose life was up for a toss without any fault of hers. We sat with her in her journey and always wished best for her. One day Shiv Raj Shekher entered her life like a prince and then they were meant to live happily ever after.

Now instead of that, it drags and drags to the point, until Anandi loses her essence and existence. Then why will it be interesting to see her daughter's story?

What is it that makers have yet to offer that they already haven't, while showing Anandi's journey?

So even if the show had better actors or directors, the show doesn't have anything on offer.

Don't think there is anything new to show.
They probably hope to retain the eye balls with a character like Anandi in a new set up.Other than that there doesn't seem to be much to the story.

They will just repackage Anandi as Nandini and try to sell for as long as that sells.

The channel seems to be averse to taking risks by starting something new that too at 8PM where competition is very tough.

When Nandini was a kid her similarities with Anandi were striking.They didn't have to make every character say how she was so much like Anandi.The girl who removed a bullet from her mother's wound seems to have gone away or rather the actress who is playing grown up Nandini is unable to bring her out.She is a mediocre actress at best and now the team who is writing is as bad as her.

If the creative team is good it would have been interesting to see how they will repackage Anandi in Nandini but the writing is so pathetic it's unwatchable.

When the male lead of original Balika Vadhu , Jagya , was a doctor by profession , he became MLA later , but most of his career shown to us is in medicine and they have made the male lead of this revamped version of BV , as doctor too , then viewers will draw comparisons In Dr Amit's case nor the character is as impressive as Dr Jagdish neither the acting of actor . No one is asking him to copy Shashank 's style but give us some impressive performance but the fact Avinash is not acting good.. Just read the comment of one his fan too on this very forum , such a disappointment he is so far , His acting is very dull so far so see its not us old viewers of BV saying this , even some of his fans are saying same

Neither Mahi , nor Ruslaan nor Avinash are newcomers and this is their first show They all carry so much experience and have worked in so many shows before entering BV , so such poor acting from them , no excuse can be given to them

I believe in giving the new cast and post leap a chance
And looks like most of the new cast are not new to tv land but new to this show

I believe in being positive not bash bash
The actors are doing what the writers director are telling them to do

Perhaps some people don't know criticism is also done to see positive improvement We watch for program for entertainment , we are not doing some charity that we are expected to give chances

Instead of trying to prove oneselves most positive beings and others are negative ones , understand this , the criticism we are doing is also to see positive improvement and the whole blame of actor's poor performance cannot be put on director

The current set of actors are not new born babies in the industry but carry so much experience so its not a fair call to put all blame on writers and directors head even though they are poor but actors acting is equally poor . From such experienced actors , expectations would definitely be high but they are failing badly Its their weakness No one is blaming the actors for writers and direction flaws , they are criticized for their acting flaws
