Ph and writers / creatives arrogance that they can make anyone look good....make them stars...is soo soo false...shiny and mohit are classic example of this... Shiny was apt to play vamp in ps and mohit...well though a good actor but trying to be a machi like Shiva...no ... He was not cut out for that place... Looked horrible.
please wakeup and see your own show...how many times you failed...count that and your thinking each time...
Absolutely true.
Mohit was good in haveli time & even later hapoy go lucky goofy Krish. they tried to make him copy shiva & he lost it completely, even his comedy edge.
Shiny as Dhara got full author backed scenes, tracks, dialogues Electra screen space, pr backup with articles explaining we are supposed to see mahanta/ dukh/ thus that in her scene… still she came across most manipulative selfish Bhabhi. Kind that literally trapped them & pulled them to death by waqt aa gaya & light dikhi drama.
Raavi got mist hostile dialogues, her scenes were not aired completely pushing her to face negativity, least screen space, bad wardrobe, deliberately given dialogues to others to demean her.
but even standing in background, even with dialogue less expressions she connected the most!
one example I always give us a scene before ramleela: family sitting at dining and reading scripts, raavi comes serves & suman shows her away saying not u disoo will take part with kasambound shiva.
She looks sad & shocked & stands in bg slowly retreats back to kitchen. Camera wasn’t even focusing on her. But damn that hurt connected!
that’s how actors add to characters. Raavi grew out of creative’s esp. writers bound the most. If ur was Ekta or Gul or thuthu / swastik/ dj’s creatives … they would have definitely gave much much more prominence to Raavi. She will always be my favorite character of PS.
Shiva- had basic character sketch. But it is Kanwar who added his all & added dimensions to Shiva! Again in many hostile scenes, over push to club Dhara shiva narratives, Shiva managed to carve out a niche- all because of KD.
Actors if indeed good & don’t fall for creatives trap, will shine- rest no matter how & what resume if don’t strike that chord : doomed.
