Your post is quite appropriate.
When i started watching Sony 3 yrs ago for Maya Mehrotra, IB fans were like my Queen vs Yours. When Maya became Zoya, the pairing was such a hit that a ship as huge as Noah's arc ascended on IG and twitter to marry them off which lead to fd wars between solos and shippers. If everyone had diverted their attention to TV sets at home maybe shows which were popular online would have continued.
Here, no one discusses, Shaheer , Ritvik, Rhea or Kaveri because apart from Mr. Sheikh nothing much is available about them.
Supporting actors are like the earth's rotation, to get them on screen is a privilege
The other big star ie Rupal Patel also looks pretty aloof. If everyone is to each is own, fans are not going to get anything.
With regards to the parallel leads,
In YRHPK the rishtas got so twisted that in the current scenario, Ritviks reel pairing with Kaveri looks like duhhh to me, writers have washed out the chemistry between Kuhu and Kunal. They don't look like a pair with potential. Tu Ashiqui made good use of the leads ( RA previous show)
Last but not the least, it looks like Shaheer's solo fans fought some krukshetra battle for three years therefore anyone who comes to ruffle feathers are ignored. They are just a handful of them who are in la la land, so obviously discussions will be Shaheer centric and good. Not complaining as episodes are better than before ( imo)
Infact, Shaheer has got the right costars if he wants privacy at work.
The producer and channel is also thinking on the same lines. All is well, enjoy till it lasts, as good as it gets. Amen
( used past shows and characters, fans as references, no personal intent to mock other actors or fds)
I have also seen on twitter that fans are discussing abt BB, kuku and Mishti but they are few in number vs Abir's kingdom.
I think its wonderful that they all mind their own business. Shaheer has been shipped with almost every co-star of his till date and he also has a dedicated bunch of haters who bash him 24/7. So it is actually such a pleasant change that there is no shipping so far and all the discussion is only centered around Abir-Mishti. I know off screen shipping adds more buzz to the show but it is very harmful to the actors in the long run and only results in the focus shifting from the show and its characters IMO.
Rhea of course rarely uses social media and prefers staying away. Which is again amazing in this era of SNS where actors are posting updates every alternate day. She seems happy playing her part onscreen and staying away which is worth appreciation. Ritwik is active on social media but the guy only posts about himself and keeps away from controversy or anyone else's business. Also, he is very respectful while talking about Shaheer or Rupal or other senior actors. Ditto with Kaveri. She seems harmless and fun and gels with everyone. The irony here is the cast does not even follow each other on SNS and we rarely get any BTS about their offscreen camaraderie but you can tell that they get along and prefer keeping in the background.
Yes, them being more open or friendly can contribute to buzz but it never really adds any real value to the show and can result in fights in the long run. So am actually happy that a show has a small, growing and peaceful fandom for once with no offscreen discussion :)
