See there are 2 types of "hate" in my view when it comes to a character. Either an actor is doing such a fantastic job that you love their acting but hate their character like Ronit Roy in Udaan or Tigmanshu Dhulia in most of his films and here, and then there's the hate that a character gets for being badly written and badly acted as well like most of the star kids and their characters are getting.
In my view, Parth isn't that great of an actor and nor was the character of Anshumaan well written, so my dislike (I find hate too strong a word for any character or actor) for Anshumaan is two-fold - bad acting and bad writing.
I do agree that Parth shouldn't be getting hate on social media, but unfortunately we live in a time where an actor and a character are synonymous and the lines are blurred. But I will say that most people in this forum are hating on Anshumaan not Parth. We have a problem with the fact that a young actor was cast who is not at all a good fit for the role of ACP. It's not that every young actor would get hate, but the casting has to be right as well. Just giving orders and wearing a suit is not being ACP. There's got to be a presence, a certain aura, a charisma to being ACP. Back in 2005, Rajeev Khandelwal played ACP to Abhijeet and Daya and yeah there wasn't a lot of age gap then, but he looked the part. He wasn't just bossing the team around and wearing a suit, he was playing the part of a leader.
The hate though is also two-part. It isn't just about Parth, but also about how the PH and Sony handled the whole situation. They posted RIP for ACP Pradyuman, pretended that this was an actual exit for Satam sir, and then just dumped the news of Parth being new ACP on us. Then when they got backlash, they suddenly backed off and corrected themselves. They thought that CID don't have enough OG fans because we aren't vocal on SM. They brought Parth in (at least according to us) because of his fan following, not anything else. Then they saw that OG CID fans outnumber Parth fans and they had to correct themselves. Do you know that on most SM, Satam sir, Aditya Srivastava, and Dayanand Shetty were ranked on top 10 most spoken about for 2 weeks in a row while Parth was in top 20?
We all know that this is temporary. Satam sir hasn't gone anywhere. But we're pissed about how the PH and Sony dealt with things and then with Anshumaan and some of that hate has been misdirected. Personally, I do not think Parth is that good of an actor either, but my dislike is 100% about Anshumaan as a character and the PH and Sony mistreating us. I have nothing against Parth.
