even in the film industry the ones who have played negatives roles in the beginning have turned into big superstars n comedians.what do u say about that...even shraddha arya was playing grey characters,still ppl accepted her as an innocent girl also just like ppl accepted krystle.on tv ronit roy played only positive roles though bajaj was grey till leap.even rohit roy was typecast only in positive roles before.even sonarika was later accepted by her fans n loved her with shiv.she does positive characters.shabbr had a different image before.still he broke that image.namik was positive on kzk.but even his fans requested the cvs to turn his character into negative saying that he will rock in negative roles n now he is getting praised by non namik fans too.aditi is typecast in -ve roles.but still majority love her 4 her character heer,still she is stuck in grey characters.if we look at the no.of characters then nia has done only sweet dumb characters on tv as a lead.only her webseries showed her in a grey shade.still a few feel that her image is bold
Are you asking for my opinion? If so, then I would say it would be the roles they play or are offered more frequently I.e. compare the number of positive roles they have played with the negative or grey shaded and that should help us answer this.
This again is a subjective matter and opinions are bound to differ from person to person including those who are responsible for the casting unless you wish to assert that everyone is supposed to feel the same about what role suits an actor or actress. You see “die hard” fans of an actor or actress at the end of the day will continue praising their favourite regardless of the type of role they play and be accepting towards the change even when they aren’t doing a great job at it, but that may not be the same for viewers that are indifferent to an actress or actor. Moreover even a section of those die hard fans tend to resist the change of image, I know many, in fact Jasmin herself is an example, her fans didn’t like the fact that she’s negative or that she got sidelined and feel she is better off doing positive main lead characters even though she was doing pretty fine as a grey shade, then we had Namik who rose to fame through EDKV on Sony, when he took up the character of a ghost that was projected as a villain in EDT his fans didn’t like it and kept spamming the PH and the channel and at the end the PH changed the story to make him the hero. In fact they got sick of him getting cast in supernatural shows and prefer him playing normal human characters. It’s normal fan behavior.
Remember Sonarika? The lady who played Goddess Parvati on lifeok, she was trolled or say moral policed for wearing a bikini and posting the pics online since ppl just couldn’t get over her image of playing a goddess. And this case wasn’t even that of playing a role, but rather she was just being herself. If you got the point. So no I don’t agree with you over that breaking away or doing away with an actors image is not big deal, it is!
The only ones who will be accepting are the ones watching the actors for the first time, that is the neutrals or the fans who support their favorite unconditionally in any type of role they play minus the resisters.
However if an actor or actress has played a balanced mix of both the type of roles frequently and with not much gap between the positives and the negatives then I guess they fall in the versatile category, I.e. they look good in any role they play which requires a hell lot of skills. Example Ronit Roy and his brother.
