And of course, when it comes to popular awards the role also influences votes. Some roles are naturally more attractive & entertaining for the audience - Ram’s role is one such, some roles are meaningful & layered but not as entertaining for the lay audiences - Priya’s is one such.
In the Indian classical arts there is a term “janaranjak” which means appealing to the mass audience. Ram’s is a janaranjak role, Priya’s is not. I like to think of us as more thinking women, who like & enjoy Priya’s role.
I got what you are saying, but we also don’t know what kind of actors/characters they are competing against, we, as fans of one show are always biased towards the actors from that show.
Don’t quote me on this, I think in S1 time Sakshi got more awards than Ram, not because she was a better actor, but because she had/has loyal fan base due to her typical Mahaan role from her previous show.
I agree with Ritu when she said it is not just about the current role and performance, it is about the fan base that’s formed over a period of time,
