HC and Pranali both took a leave which led to gen 4 being born

They left the show at right time just like Hina Khan.

and made their characters memorable

Some actors prefer to leave rather than playing a toxic character. For some, it is just a job.

That's what bother me above anything about this DKP shows period is the WW. No one get's punishment and then he goes so extreme with the characters and expect us to just forget and move on like his Amnesia writers as if nothing happen. How can we digest VV after helping separate Armaan from Shivani and now Maira from Abhira. Armaan should've been arrested and put in jail and possibilities of losing his law license. There's no mother under this earth would've forgiven Ar easily the way dkp shown Ab doing, No F'ing way. Even if they got back together show something but you got him married to G2. They want fans to forget this again, after going overboard again, will they have Ar married Meher, or Madhav have EMA or remarried

Every channel has few shows which portray problematic things and make their leads do unacceptable scenes but Star Plus kind of mastered it and is also topping charts with shows like Anupama Rishta had questionable storylines with leads being downgraded every now and then but yes actors are expected to quit every time when story changes because hey how can you portray different shades which doesn't come under "lead actions" being a lead

Sorry to butt in. I’ve always believed that actors are not responsible for the things shown on screen, which is why I avoid criticizing them for it. However, the fact remains that they do have some creative authority. It may not be much, but it isn’t negligible.

Imo, they could have completely avoided the scene where Abhira falls at Armaan’s feet. He could have stopped her as she fell. Sometimes, an actor has to take a stand and refuse to do such scenes. But yeah, to each his or her own.

We don’t know if an actor has actually tried and was refused so I wouldn’t question the actor unless it’s explicitly told by them or anyone offscreen. Most of the times, fans make up things related to actors quitting or shows getting shut based on their own theories but we don’t know what actually transpired behind the scenes unless told explicitly by concerned people. So just because actors are doing their job, questioning them why aren’t they quitting or blaming them for a fictional character’s actions isn’t right imo.

Again going by this logic, none of the actors should do negative roles where they murder or physically assault in shows/movies because they are doing toxic scenes onscreen as some imaginary character as part of their job.

I’m not blaming anyone — not Rohit, not Sam, or anyone else. It was just my opinion, nothing more.

@bold: No, their roles are explicitly negative. No one should be inspired by a negative character or someone who ruthlessly murders or assaults people on screen. Their actions are clearly portrayed as wrong and negative.

My point is that when a male lead is presented as the hero, his actions can be perceived differently by the audience. Fair or not, that positioning can influence some viewers. Not everyone, of course — but the possibility exists.
