have you seen Shaheer ke shows after MB spcly KRPKAB & YRHPK . he was very good as dev & is very good as Abir. he is not some mediocre actor now. And this is after i was not at all impressed with him in navya(i thought he is some new actor doing his first show) & MB (i found him improving only towards the end of the show & felt he lacked voice modulation. Maybe he is not v good in mytho roles.

Pooja is still v popular its about the kind of roles she gets though and what she chooses. once a mytho show is done people keep offering same type of roles. which explains why she got mahakali. Even SRJ has played mytho roles after MB like akbar, shiva, dhananand, even a movie he did was mytho based. He got Neil in PB but then i could not connect with his acting there. And its not like SRJ is good in mytho roles only he was good as Aman in parichay. So it a lot depends on how the directors make the actor approach it. Shaheer was already popular with navya so it was easier for him to get lead roles after MB. And who says SRJ is not popular. He is as popular as shaheer. its just that he got more mytho roles offered after MB . Krishna is lager than life character. its difficult to break that image. Even nitish bharadwaj faced the same issue.

And with ITV once an actor plays a very poplar role for years the image gets stuck. Actors who do finite series like for a year or two fare better with getting different roles & many roles

Shaheer is mediocre at best. Pooja and srj are anyday far better actor and deserves more appreciation than they get.

well i dint like SRJ as neil. i was like is he the same actor who played anand in parichay . i dont judge actors on how good actors they are i judge them on how good they are connecting me to the character they are playing and how good they are in portraying nuances of that character . And SRJ does get a lot of appreciation from his fans. Pooja still has to get more popular she is popular only coz of MB. She needs to do more urban character shows. Not all people watch mytho shows

No. No. It's true. He got many good serials offer according to his talent. And many better Production House like Pattnaik's and Director Kut Production. On the other hand, other actors especially Pooja didn't get her due, she deserves to work in top serial (khair nowadays serial are not even worthy to watch) and far more popularity and recognition.

MB was poojas first? I think she was being offered mytho roles only like it happened with SRJ. but SRJ has done urban roles before so it helps him. i agree she is the one actually who has not got her due with regard to work.

Yes. She debuted with an episode in Teri Meri Love Stories, so MB was her first full fledged serial as heroine.

She did VOs on Porus as River Jhelum and in Radhakrishn . And Mahakali with SRJ. And a cameo in Manmarziyaan

She was in first episode as an actress for add shoot. For hardly 5 mins. Aham came in the show a quite late.

Shaheer was really bad in the VH episodes especially the episode in which Panchali was staked and the episode he said Mahabharat hoga 😶

Negative Lead.

Yes negative lead, but the story revolved around him

He was like in 60% of the show and rest 40% was divided between CGM, Chanakya and Durdhara+others.

Aside the show was never on how CGM was gaining strength, but more about what Dhanand did, CGM was there only to react
