Or Hiten Tejwani... or Abhaas Mehta or even Karanvir Bohra... or someone as good! I know I know they're A class actors and all. Don't get into that argument.
The point is that if a GOOD actor was playing FR then this track could've been just great! This track did have potential... So I haven't really lost hope in the CVs... they've not dished out crap to us... it's just the actor that created a reasonably okay track into crap. So I won't go as far as saying I've lost faith in the CVs... although I do hope they realize where it has gone wrong and wrap it up or equalize it with enough KrishVeer scenes...
Aneeqa, I truly love your optimism!! You manage to see the good even in the bad 😊 While I don’t know any of the actors that you mentioned, I do agree that a better actor would have made this track more bearable. At least half (if not more) of my frustration with this track is having to listen to this FR whine for Krishna like a small child all the time. And don’t get me started on how he keeps touching her without her consent... 😡
BUT, where I have also lost faith in the CVs is the sheer lack of logic in introducing a fake Radhe in the first place, regardless of the actor. It would have been one thing if the original Radhe’s body had never been found after his death, as often happens in ITV and even American shows. But the original Radhe’s body was brought back to India and cremated, and it was witnessed by everyone.
I get that the Shuklas are uneducated and therefore might be more susceptible to falling for this. But to completely deny what they have seen with their own eyes?? And you could point to the DNA reports, but even the DNA reports only said that this FR is related to the Shuklas, not that he is Radhe himself. How did not a single Shukla (Laliya, who has been one of the more rational ones, or Bela, who would love nothing more than to prove this Radhe fake), not even consider this point? And why didn’t Krishna, who is a doctor, raise it herself? They know BS has a brother and the possibility exists that FR could be another son of his. We know that’s not actually true, but again, why did no one raise this point?
As for Veer coming out of jail, there were other ways to achieve this. As Ishani and others have said, he could have come out of jail for good behavior. And the track could have been based on how he wins Krishna’s trust back, deals with Sunaina, etc. If the show was going to end anyways and TRPs no longer matter, why not give the characters the ending they deserve? For a show that we have prided on its logic, it’s ending with one of the most illogical tracks possible - bringing a truly dead man back from the dead. Hence my lack of faith in the CVs.
Phew, that was a long rant! Guess that had been building up, especially after catching up on a week’s worth of episodes last night. Aneeqa, trust me, none of this frustration is directed at you - to some degree, I agree with you that this track had potential. But in my view, whatever potential it had was lost with the way it has been dragged out and with this fake Radhe’s acting.
