Congratulations to Silsila team for completion of a year. And just as I said last time two people cannot run a show by themselves when the story was evidently about 3 main characters. Silsila wouldn't be Silsila without Nandini and Drashti Dhami. Pre affair phase belonged to Drashti Dhami without a doubt. She nailed the domestic abuse scenes and with great nuance.Only an experienced actor could have pulled out those scenes and that is the reason she was approached to play the part.
I salute Drashti that despite receiving the worst of the worst sl ut shaming, abuses, death threats, ra pe threats, acid attack threats, despite her mother and husband being personally abused she maintained a DIGNIFIED STANCE and never once gave it back to any troll or paid PR of other actors. That is true PROFESSIONALISM! Despite the inhuman abusing which no woman should be subjected to in their lives and despite the comments that could land a lot of people behind bars she gave her blood and sweat for this show and remained dedicated even when her character was sidelined and butchered to glorify other characters. The last nail in the coffin was overnight change in characterisation post leap and she finally decided to quit. If she hadnt quit at that point I would have stopped believing in her as an artiste and boy am I glad she stepped down and refused to be the bali ka bakra !
Before she quit she was bashed for being dedicated to the role and was said she could do any such role for money. When she finally quit the same people said Shakti was professional for staying on. Why the double standards? Pre leap it was *oh she was desperate for money so doing this kind of role *. Post leap* oh shakti stayed on..he is proffessional*. Badalte standards for a show with badalte rishte.?..
People forget that it wasnt Shakti but Drashtis character Nandini that producers wanted to compromise with overnight for the sake of trps. His character was never sidelined the way DDs was. After leap he was promised a positive portrayal and redemption for his pre leap mistakes . He stayed on because he had ample amount of reason to! His was not the character that was going to be the scapegoat post leap..it was Drashti's character that would be. So the whole stuck to the show because professional tha is kind of funny and ludicrous at the same time. Why go to this extent to put down another actor? Infact by deciding to quit Drashti pretty much showed that she was above just pay cheques and that creative satisfaction mattered. Kudos to her for that. Even if we are talking about bashing Shakti didnt get even 0.0005 % of the bashing and shaming that DD got, The comments under both their social media accounts are proof of that. Infact he was readily accepted with Aditi even after the cheating phase so that explains a lot.
Anyways I think the best actors on this show were Abhinav and Drashti in my opinion. Their characterisation wasn't developed or worked on and I am glad they both exited as they deserved better. Shout out to Kinshuk..brought a much needed freshness in the show post leap. Glad the season ended with him in the show. Loved Shakti and Drashtis bond and chemistry. Hope to see them in a show someday again. Abhinav you deserve a show as main lead and so does Kinshuk. Barbie you were adorbs as Pari. Pramila Neena ji Jaya ji all brilliant actors. These were all the people I loved and I hope to watch their shows again.
