I agree, shaheer and rhea did try a lot for their chemistry to work. Shaheer even lost so much weight to look good beside rhea. And their chemistry was pretty much good post leap after they got a makeover. Even though they hardly got good storyline and screenspace they managed a gain a massive fandom. The way they took twitter by storm after yrhpk off air news, I don't think any fd did so many trends continuously with lakhs of tweets. They really succeeded and made sure that RS gets intimated by them. RS was so much terrified that he didn't even allow media on set for last day farewell.
The new yrkkh and Harshad will get a lot of backlash because a lot of fds are involved. Like the kaira fd, jenshad shippers, bepannah fd then yrhpk fd and mishbir fans because the actors age gap factor is similar to that of rhea and shaheer and then Abhimanyu is a shayar, which was an original trait of Abir. Plus the love triangle and sister's love /rivalry is very much inspired/copied from gayu kartik Naira triangle and mishti kuhu dynamics. So comparisons and fights and indirects would surely happen.
Hmm but if they'd make aarohi way too negative and self centered then fans would obviously lean towards the other pair ie akshu and abhi.
If he wanted to do web then last years mein hi kar leta woh, now he has given his commitment to this show. If it gets successful then surely for atleast 3 years he'd be stuck in it.
Shaheer and Rhea looked cute in that ek cup chai promo, yes Sha literally had to shed kilos and it reflected on his face. Yeah I was stunned to see amount of trends blaming RS for giving more SS to the parallel leads. They shld have shifted to 6.30 slot.
Coming to HC even his loyal fans on BP forum used to comment that his too lean and his features look too sharp. He needs to bulk up a little bit or add more weight. HC was perfect as Sahir and i really liked the gol gappa Prem Juneja. His current face structure fits perfectly for a grey character.
Harshad is one actor who is used backlash and Ekta openly declared that due to Harshiti fans she will never work with them, all other producers, channel heads followed suit. Still he kept his cool, did not for once blame anyone. However I wish nobody curses HC, he does not deserve that kind of hate. Live and let live. Can only hope that the writers do a good job. Baki sab destiny.
