I wish someone from the team could answer me as to why Ruksar is given so much screen space and why are we repeatedly shoved with bed scenes of Kabeer and Rukara.?
Honestly, I think the humongous screen space given to Ruksar's character has something to do with the actress too.
They have created a horrible horrible character. Fans are bound to feel offended and they would naturally react. The way some of the cast and crew, especially the director trolled the fans was so unprofessional. The day Vikram put up the 'mastani' video, I knew we were for a ride.
A 19yr old Eisha gets life threatening messages for portraying a muslim character on screen. Did we ever see thses people defending her or speaking about it in public? Never. Then why this blatant favouritism towards Shipsy? I'm sure she must have made a huge deal out of it and that made the team react. Eisha clearly knows how to handle criticism and that's why the girl is a star.
Whatever the logic be the screen time given to Ruksar is unfair, more so because they are brushing the actual lead to a corner in doing so.
We have always had villains. Piyush and Gautam were outstanding as Siraj and Meraj respectively. Piyush was the best villain till date in my opinion. But none of them were given such meaty screen space compared to Shipsy (who is comparatively a weak performer)
Adnan and Shipsy lack chemistry on screen, and by chemistry I don't mean being all over each other. Then why such close shots between them? Who is Vikram trying to please? Gautam and Eisha never did scenes with such physical proximity but they had chemistry. And I'm thankful that their scenes were not made overbearing on us.
I would still consider such scenes between Kabeer and Ruksar important, if they were to highlight the ill effects of polygamy or harassment faced by men. But unfortunately they will brush it under the carpet just the way they did it when Kabeer was almost raped by Ruksar. So why are such scenes with such length and details forced on the viewers?
I have been watching the show on and off even since the ridiculous Dubai nikkah. But keep hoping to resume watching it because I love Adnan and Eisha. They create magic on screen. But unfortunately the makers are killing the show and ignoring the hardworking leads for their love for Ruksar/ Shipsy.
Mr. Ghai if u ever come across this post ( which is unlikely ) I'm sorry for calling you out in public, but as a fan I have every right to point out my displeasure with the show and the content.
PS.. No offence to anyone, ignore my ranting if u find it wrong. I do not wish to create a fight.
