Both KD and NM had abrupt end to scenes and GHK just continues and shows what the originals intended, but never go beyond. So I have no problem with Virpakhi scenes esp when they are showing Virat is keeping his distance. Originals also didn't explore Aai-Sai bonding as much, was left to our imagination and I love that in GHK.
One thing everyone knows and accepts except makers and actress is that Pakhi's role should have been played by a better actress, but there is still hope, maybe she will put efforts to improve acting in future once she understands her character. She did good job in many scenes when she is clear on whats expected out of her. Looks like CVs are paying attention to the feedback by changing her look/ Sai's dresses etc.
The problem I have is where they don't know what to do with Chavans-Pakhi and to keep them occupied, they repeat dialogues and chai scenes.
If they can show creativity around Aai-Sai scenes, why not bring something else for them to discuss and do besides this. Involve Mansi bua/ Shivani/ Karishma and Mohit in those and use them for comic relief or other drama/ fight. Not everything has to be around Sai and her burai or chai and its badai.
Anyways if everyone is trying to give them free publicity, they will grab it with both hands, which is what the actress is doing. Ignore them and see how quickly everyone goes back to talking about SAIRAT. I don't think their personal relations are making any impact on SAIRAT scenes or chemistry in anyway. Infact we can see Virat's anger/ disgust with Pakhi in many scenes very well portrayed. How many other show forums make full fledge multiple posts on a negative character/ actress in real life everyday?
