And credit goes completely to Alice. We have discussed it many times on edts, how even w/o dialogues- focus she stays true to the character & portrays all emotions with ease.
Raavi, as a character has grown beyond creative's control. they try to ruin her every step of the way w/ ott dialogues, dobiness, insensitivity - too late! She ends up gaining more sympathy.
Abt Disha- u r right. that was the plan. A third angle, which people will lap up for sympathy w/ shiva.
carefully created scenes, costumes to reflect prewedding Raavi- added takkars, added BTS clips, influencers were on overdrive clipping Disoo clips, justifying kiss saying he deserves love- how good they look together. Justifying every abuse hurled at Raavi, every situation she was made to face came w/ comedy bg music. To degrade Raavi's character further, they even added a comparison scene on day 1 of disha entry.
Shiva was muted- he was shown hanging out w/ her w/o any hesitation. was shown chatting w/ her on phone, was shown she had his picture - he tok part in public event w/ Disha, He was seen w/ disha spending time at store - where she goes of demeaning Raavi & he quietly obliges - no reaction. He even compared two. He was okay talking, holding hands across Raavi's lap in auto. ... So Many things- Just so many were shown horribly wrong.
Offscreen- you can tell she was signed on for longer run- by a. similar costume colors (when she comes home: white top + jeans, instore- maroon dress, etc) 'Raavi is just a side character, this is dhara & shiva's story, Raavi's character does not have depth' .. all sorts of influencer posts were filtered through.
WOrked otherway! connected people to Raavi more.
She was included in sbs clip alongside KDice- was made to talk more instead of Raavi.
InBts pi of Bhoomi puja- Careful pic by staff photographer with Suman in middle- Disha & dhara on ether ide- wiht caption 'us' / Pandya women something was floated.
Actor's offscreen attitude was also quite sure- of long run too.
Alice's defaming article was also planted around then...
Though in this all,
Raavi Won! More they showed all these- overall- across te mediums- social media, print, even sbs/bb journos, And most imp. trp audience- online & on tv both - overall rejected this adbhut plot of Writerben.
WIsh post that, they had brought back Shekhawat! we would have got wonderful ShiVi progress by now!
