From coming on this forum, it is clear that more people support Avni and Aditi.
However there are few people who have a different viewpoint about the story and characters.
These few people support Neil and perhaps equally Avneil

Lately i have felt that few people who support Neil or defend him are not very welcome on this forum.
It is not just about accepting other people's view point about Neil, it is also related to many people not liking Zain due to his lifetyle.

There are always negative and bashing posts about Neil just based on confusing OLVs and also a lot of bashing of Zain because of his lifestyle. which is extremely disheartening.

Many if us support Neil's character and also have respect for Zain as an artist and whatever his lifestyle may be.
I personally respect Avni and like Aditi equally.
But when anyone of us post anything in support of Neil or Zain, we are made to look like fools with all the posts.

But the way there are constant negative posts about Zain and Neil, it gets me thinking that are we really welcome here?

As it is I think that a lot of people who support Neil are avoiding to post things here anymore.
I guess that this forum is only for Avni /aditi fans and not at all for Zain/Neil fans or for people who like them equally.

I always considered this forum as neutral with both leads than others forums where I was before. But I think this forum is no more like before.Lol hence my participation is also very less here now a days. I don't know in present track why ppl of here aren't satisfied with neil. Why avni is presented completely flawless here by ppl? where both have flaws in characterization? Is it due to off screen reason or not ppl are still in trauma of juhi n bacchi track? If it's reason of off screen then it'll be highly an immaturity. It's not only zain but also with aditi there was also huge off drama between she n fans. Why we are mixing off screen with on screen?

I'm sorry dear but I don't exactly understand what you mean. I have never sensed a moment where people on the forum defend neil or avni, or aditi or zain more than another. It's only been recent where there have been posts in regards to how the fandom on social media is being immature and bashing zain for no reason, with many people agreeing that the fandom is being immature, and zain and his friends are not at fault, then there are a few people who blamed nalini, zain and co equally for baiting fans.

Then in matters of aditi, people on the forum initially used to blame aditi saying she is unsocial with the cast, but that has stopped. But I have never felt that the fandom makes anybody feel unwelcome, especially not people who defend and support neil.

Are you talking about a few of those posts where people have been saying that neil deserves better than avni and people saying that avni is not at fault, because I'm not sure what made you feel that you or other members on the forum are not welcome?

Please do discuss in detail so we can know the problem better. This is not ishqbaaz forum where we fight like nursery children over whom is better than whom and make others feel unwelcome, so please elaborate on why you feel this way, or tell us of an instance where you felt unwelcome when sharing your opinion.

And I thought everybody here is a zain and aditi fan?

I wouldn't say you are being unwelcome. No one is! Trust me I have seen worst forums and I would still say this forum is still very open to hear and not attack you personally and I hope it stays this way.
I am equal supporter of both! I support both of them equally and understand. The people close to me know that about me! But I also feel why the majority are more understanding towards Avni is simply because of her past and what she is enduring right now.

We all the understand the reason of Neil taking the steps and why is he so harsh. We know he is miserable about it and he also understands Avni will be miserable about it as well but he still took that route to protect her. The natural human tendency is that you sympathize more towards someone who you see suffering more and thats what the majority fandom feels. I out of the crowd feel both are suffering their worst times. Neil out of guilt and Avni of betrayal (misunderstanding). And both have contributed to bring the situation to this level.

Please don't think you are not invited. Trust me, this forum is much better in handling different opinions than other forums :)

Feel free to post whatever you feel in favor or against a character. Yes, the only thing I prefer is constructive criticism about anything that we don't like.

I like both of them equally , they are the reason I became hooked to Naamkaran and looking forward to the track progressing and waiting for them to meet. Regarding their private life that is up to them and Zain has been amazing as Neil and his onscreen chemistry with Aditi is one of the best I have seen on Indian tv shows . I am sure their are still a lot of people on this forum who like both characters .

Lol I think you missed the phase when Aditi was bashed left, right and centre and constantly questioned regarding her aloofness with the rest of the cast. It was prevalent everywhere, though in diluted form on this forum. It's just that the fans disagree with Zain's lifestyle more now so they're bashing him. :/
As far as people bashing Neil is concerned, it's got nothing to do with Zain, trust me. Neil has always been bashed more, and I'm guilty of it as well. I think when it comes to the show, we see the story more from Avni's point of view than Neil's. Most of us put ourselves in Avni's place and think from her perspective. The story is also hers, so whenever Avni is remotely wronged, the blame falls on Neil and he's bashed. It's nothing personal, and we always need people who can think from Neil's perspective and defend him on this forum so sense can prevail. Don't feel unwelcome. As someone who is very guilty of being a frequent Neil basher, I say that the forum needs people like you. ❤️

I think people are entitled to their opinion and more than welcome to post it here but obviously there may be people who disagree and reply to your post. I feel like as a forum the discussion I have seen has been mostly healthy. We have more often than not been unanimous like with the chuhi track. Right now with this track we have a lot of expectations and I hope that we are not disappointed. Personally for me I love both avni and Neil and I watch the show only for Avneil scenes. But like I've said before in the current scenario if I were forced to pick a side it'd be avni. I feel most for her character. I can't wait to watch Avneil find the way back to each other. Offscreen actors have their own lives which I don't think we should discuss too much. Obviously we love them and we are interested in their lives which is natural but we need to remember that they have a private life. I personally have and will never participate in a discussion on their personal lives. I hope that other people could do that as well so that the forum is only about the show. We all agree that there is no one better than Aditi and Zain for these roles and they both are doing a fantastic job too. So let's hope that they continue to shine!

I don't think Neil's supporters are unwelcome, I read many posts explaining Neil's point of view, in Avengers (Ri) post there are many who explained his point of view and some AvNeil's, so Neil and Zain are loved, there are only few who have a problem with Zain (I suppose) but honestly I prefer to avoid the real life things, as these are none of my business, personally I feel Zain is a good guy at heart and his personal life is his, the way he handles his fans is his call.

As far as Neil is concerned, I feel majority have sympathy for Avni because of her past and the pain she went through and is still going through hence her actions are not severly judged as Neil's. I reiterate I hate the word judge, but that's what people mainly do. I'm all with understanding Avni and feeling for her pain, I feel for her a lot and I used to make posts in the EDT showing both points of view, but there was a time where people started bashing Neil heavily and since then every single action of his is being judged and I feel in wanting to do justice to Avni and feeling for her people started being unfair to Neil, and maybe that's one of the reasons which made me make some few Neil oriented posts, not because I don't understand Avni, I understand her and I feel for her but because Neil is being judged and people hold him answerable and feel he should even suffer while when it comes to Avni, some of her biggest mistakes are kind of overlooked stating her past, her pain and a huge number of fans ignore her contribution to the current situation or to other situations in AvNeil's life, I doubt the character Avni itself is aware of that, if it's about intentions then Neil's intentions weren't bad either, so that's my bone of contention.

I reiterate that I feel and I know that no matter what Avni does given her past heartbreaks and experiences, it's understandable, overcoming this is easier said than done, we should be in her shoes to feel the amount of pain and the origin of her insecurity but that doesn't mean I would be unfair to Neil or say that he only did mistakes, I feel a huge part of AvNeil's problems are because of Avni's past baggage and her impulsive trait, I know her intentions are good, she is a wonderful woman but she did costy mistakes, so if we will ignore her contribution to the situation because of her past, let's not make Neil carry the burden and the entire responsibility of this (he ends up carrying a lot anyways whether he is at fault or not), because honestly I feel in this particular situation, Avni is more responsible. People will argue that Mishti, Juhi and Vidyut are in their lives because of Neil, then DVM and Amol were also in their lives because of Avni, your problems are ur partner's problems and his problems are yours.

Hence I say look at them as AvNeil and stop doing the hisab kitab

P.S: many times I feel like expressing something about Avni, because of what I genuinely feel but then I come here and I find not only many people did that at length but they are bashing Neil and making him responsible for everything!
I like posts which present both points of view with no double standards

Relax dear and just take it easy I am considerably a new member and have never been part of any forum before nor I ever comment on social media so I don't know how they work but here I feel quite welcomed and a lot of criticism has come Neil's way and many are supporting avni bcoz till now after leap we have only seems her part of the story once we see what Neil did in this 6 months and what he went through I am sure the views will change and I think you're kinda mixing onscreen and offscreen situation that's why may be you felt that way

And if you're referring to all the funny posts about Neil I guess those are just for fun

This is the first forum where I have seen where nobody will personally attack you if you support a particular character even if the character is negative unlike other forums where one will have to think multiple times before posting anything.
That is why this forum is running peacefully without any moderators. When I joined this forum after AvNeil's marriage theforum used to be flooded with posts like how Neil is husband goals. Since Juhi track people started feeling disappointed with Neil but still I feel members expressed their disappointment quite decently. Expectations from Neil has always been more than Avni maybe that is why his mistakes get more highlighted. Regarding bashing of actors, yes I believe negativity about actors in other social media platforms shouldn't be discussed here.
