Couldn't agree more. Shoaib is a decent actor. Just that the character is so poorly written, that his acting doesn't seem impactful.

Desi serials do not know the colour grey. For them the female lead is pure as white and villians are blackest of black. They don't beleive that some grey exists in all people, leave alone, building plots and tracks for grey characters.

Trps is not about the numbers alone - Channels usually consider the time slot, target audience, competition, the cost of production to finally arrive whether its profitable to continue or not.

@bold: Oh yes! This is spot on. And here is the problem with Desi serials. They make characters so simple. Fiction is an extension of reality. People and their situations in the world of fiction are supposed to be magnified. But they have to stem from reality. Sadly writers don't understand that. This may be a thriller/supernatural/suspense whatever! But the characters can still be related to. Sadly this is not the case. And the worst example is Abhi!

You have a point about trps not being numbers alone. But I feel with Desi content it's usually about hitting the right numbers more than anything else. Not the same as say US, where a channel would still back a show with potential.

Side note: I do enjoy reading your posts. I used to read your posts in the Qubool Hai forum as well. Always a good read and enjoyable :)
