People are waging wars over two indian serial characters?
I believe in that particular fandom they have waged wars between themselves as fans of the male lead who quit (Gaurav) don’t get along well with the fans of the female lead.
She has made almost all the previous costars of the show who were there since the beginning quit the show or got their characters written off when they don’t pander to her ego. GK was also one of those affected.
They didn’t like him getting credited with the success of the show and being considered as much of a star and a reason for the success as she was all because his character was included on the show about a year after the show began. As per them since he was not there on the show since day one he cannot be given as much credit as her. They even refuse to let him be acknowledged as a popular actor in his own right prior to this show.
So it’s not at all surprising that they would fight with the fans of another show, especially one which threatens their favourite, one which has already upset her as Smriti casually walks away with the highest paid actress mantle ever on Indian TV even before the show commenced. I believe she charges 14 lakhs per episode and the difference between number one and two is an astronomical amount of 10/11 lakhs.
Shahi cannot hope to match that not unless he wishes to make it a one woman show and fire everyone else and even then he may fall short to match the amount so you can understand the anger and jealousy.
