Although she has a slight edge over Nakul but practically both do have equal SS. She replied this in response to the question about female domination in TV so she probably wanted to say that in her show both ml n FL have equal importance n SS. She didn't mention or refer to the ensemble cast
No the excerpt clearly speaks about her saying the show was promoted as a story and journey of three brothers. (Hence not female oriented or dominated). Everyone gets space in the story. (Everyone means, everyone, not Naakul or the character of Shivaay). Therefore there is no misunderstanding here. She was clearly speaking of the prominent cast, as in the males leads of the show and their storylines.
Not just Naakul, but I hear Kunal was a leading man too before, and I guess he expected equal treatment on the show. His storyline as the older son of Tej Oberoi to be given as much importance as the Shivaay story. But here, he is even worse off than the youngest son. But at this point even HE is getting Sautela treatment. At least he has a female lead. Om doesn't even have that anymore. They messed up his story graph in a big way. Several actors who have been on 4L shows have mentioned that they were narrated one thing, but the story took a drastically different turn. The last such interview I read was the show on &TV that ended within 6 weeks. So this is by no means the first time this PH has messed up a story.
I remember during Arjun times, one of the main characters quit coz the story was not progressing at all. I can give many more examples but don't want to get into all that. But fact remains, NO fairness or equality has been shown to the other actors, especially to those who were promoted as equally important in the story. ALL GK did was promote the show as a "Male dominated" show, and then start showing her "ghisa- phita" - Rude obnoxious guy and bubbly girl story, using the other so called leads as background props and white noise! Contrary to what a lot of people say, promos can be misleading but not complete hoaxes. In this case, that is what it was!
