Not even that I tou say let the show finish within 160-170 episodes as the long format Kdrama's do . With a finite storyline the actors and the makers would not have to take so much tension of the TRP's . It is high time channels and makers understand that the infinite episodes era of the ITV shows are over. It will not work anymore in upcoming 5-10 years. Hell the American soap opera concept which inspired EK to create her trash is almost extinct in US already . Rather the seasonal format is the new trend from the early 2000's. All the cult shows like NBT, KRPKAB, PB,YUDKBH had an excellent cast and story that is why it became a cult show. ITV needs to invest more and more on scripts which are unconventional. MHRW is already a cult show and it is not even original but a remake of a Telugu show but what is the difference Sandeep handled the show differently for regional tv and national tv. Gorintaku was kind of cheesy and OTT in many instances but MHRW attracted the fans because of the good story and shades of personality of the characters in the show and its most grounded and close to real portrayal of romance and especially how a love is built between a married couple slowly. It is all about the story and handling of the script which makes the difference.

It's all back to the point of EK ruining things for the industry. Before, they used to have finite series with a solid concept. I still remember my parents telling me about good shows like Hasratein, Sailaab, etc. where the quality was really high and the performances were top-notch.

The other issue I have with a lot of ITV show is just the poor, unbearable acting most of the time. It's worse when the leads can't act either and no matter how good the story might be I'm turned off by the leads.

Yes NBT is the first show in ITV which got a season 2 with same cast and a continuing story line. In fact I guess it was the first ITV show which got a second season and first show brought back on fans demand. You should watch the show. You guys are missing out a gem. In 2012-13 when ITV shows were considered a joke and made fun of NBT won great praise for realistic and grounded storyline. 9 years ago it scored a 8.1/10 in IMDB. That a decade ago is a very big feat.

I've heard you praise it so many times I am defo going to watch it. But for that I need to stop spending all my free time on this forum. 😆

No Kiran Sreenivas and Shravan Reddy was before Sai but they did not get that much popularity which Sai got nowadays. Sai just became the inspiration for many South TV actors who want to make it in Hindi TV industry. He single handedly broke through the dominance of North Indian actors in ITV.

Sandeep sir is right. They can write but actors what they're bringing to the table and that's the magic. He made raghav Rao so big 💪💪👍👍. His looks is added charisma 👌👌

I think the fact that he was besura and self-conscious but still did it for her is what I found touching and kinda romantic (not like the red balloons!)

Yes and the fact that Pallavi understood it and fell for Raghav more in that instance and her song lyrics were basically crying out loud at that moment that she loves him but our anna like always filtered it out in hawa. 🤣

Yes, and props to Sandip for not just casting him but choosing other 'regional' actors for key roles.

@bold I love the way you phrased this.

I hope this encourages not just actors to try but also for writers and PHs to hire actors based on their craft, not their location, and then give them good scripts.

The thing is, there are very few good ML roles written for ITV so I understand actors from the South not wanting to say yes to crappy scripts and preferring to work on quality stuff in the south. Why go for mediocre when you can go for the best?

I think Sai's advantage is also that because he's multilingual he can continue to work in Hindi projects (series, TV, films), especially after so many people discovered him on MHRW, where his character allowed him to showcase a wide spectrum of emotions. Future casting directors can just look at his work on the show and see how good he is!

ITV was ruined by EK by introducing the american soap format and finite show concept was destroyed. Kshitij Yeh Nahi with Supriya Pilgaonkar and Tushar Dalvi is still considered a legendary show.

For teenage nibbi's it is that AYM persona and looks but for fans like us it is his multiple layer of personality that he portrays constantly through out the show which impressed us. Watch his interview he do not care about any other things in set other than his crafts and he never leaves a shot until it is perfected. Sai's behavior is rubbing on Shivangi now as we can see how much improvement Shivangi has made in these last 5 months in terms of acting.
