I didn't know Prachi was a minor back thenOriginally posted by: EkPaheli
I forgot Amar also played Gopi and Ahem’s damad
But yeah, true. Never saw Molki either tbh with you.
I am rigid like that. If I like someone as an actor or actress I try to watch their shows because I believe I want to see what more they can do but I also end up comparing their chemistry with their previous costar which I obviously liked enough to become a fan and most of the times I found the whole thing lacking. Ironically, I think so far only Saakshi has made me watch a show where she was paired with a different guy - Ram in BALH - after KGGK. But I couldn’t for the life of me stand the both of them in that Alt Balaji show that had them essentially play Ram and Priya all over again. I could buy Ram as a 40 year old unmarried successful businessman who marries a 35 something woman who is a college professor or something iirc. But in no way could I buy Ram as a 40 something superstar with women being crazy about him with that physique and those chops. I mentally checked out like after 1 episode. If he had played a has been stuck in his head in his hay days of glory, I could have bought it but not this.Kasam Se really made my head spin when I saw this IV of Ram Prachi when they were flying to Australia for an outdoor schedule. Prachi was a minor at the time and was falling a couple of months short to be allowed to fly on her own. Her parents had passport issues or something, can’t remember, but the bookings and all were made and the schedule was fixed. The only way Prachi could go on this shoot as the main lead was if she had an adult take on the responsibility of her as a guardian, who was flying too with her and would legally submit whatever the Australian embassy’s requirements were from a guardian to grant her the visa.
RAM WAS HER GUARDIAN. Her parents had to sign a letter authorising him as the guardian of their daughter and state he was being allowed to accompany their daughter to Australia as they trusted him and in turn Prachi be granted her visa since Ram was gonna be with her, with their consent.
HE PLAYED HER ONSCREEN HUSBAND.
That was just 🤯 for me… in a not so good way. They were laughing about it but it was just so… I still don’t have the words. Me! I write long posts like it’s the most natural and normal thing in the world to do!
Not a SM or KS fan so never saw Kasam.
Yeah in Dhurandhar they justify the pairing and also Dhar never makes us uncomfortable with the dynamic despite the obvious age gap between them. Rather, now I don’t see anyone discussing the age gap as much as how they wished those two had a happy ending together and how their phone call scene is being compared with Ghajini’s and called traumatising and better execution of romance than full fledged romantic movies in the past couple of years. That’s the power of good writing, acting, genuine chemistry and moreover the audience being able to feel invested in their characters and relationship; so much so that they forget the age gap completely being a problem before. We didn’t even get more than a handful of scenes between the two of them in the second movie and yet they managed to make us cry.
I am not saying that not showing a couple with age gap will suddenly make the world think oh, this is wrong and they’ll cease to exist. That’s not happening. But we shouldn’t at least glorify them is the point.
In Hamza and Yalina we see a tragic love story in the end, at no point is their age gap being celebrated or glorified. Rather, it’s been written in such a way that we don’t even remember to talk about it anymore and that’s down to Hamza never treating her in a way that makes us uncomfortable onscreen despite his obvious manipulations of using her as and when he could. We never saw him exploit her on a personal level. Like take the example of her coming to his home in the previous movie - once Rehman is rescued, he’s home and yes, he did blackmail her dad to get Rehman back; but once home he expects her to go back to her dad’s home. He understands the situation. A few hours of Yalina going missing weren’t gonna be as much of a problem as her staying with him; yet he never got her to do that. He cared about her to suggest she leave; but when she made the choice of wanting to stay with him, he simply never forced her to change her mind either. He respected her wishes and then married her as soon as possible so as to minimise the impact on her reputation as well as the reputation of her family while also advancing his own cause in parallel.
It was very easy to exploit the girl who may have happily stayed with him despite never getting married to him because she was so head over heels in love with him. He could have said we can’t marry because I can die blah blah blah, too poor for you. He could have said let’s marry without meeting your dad as we already live together, not like he had to do anything in a Muslim marriage ceremony as a father either. Once married, what could her dad do even if he didn’t accept them but sulk about it or at most get him killed if he was angry with him. Instead he does what he does - does it help his mission, yes, but also you never see him take an undue advantage of Yalina.Even when he’s on a rampage in the second movie in the beginning in his backstory where he practically is a killing machine, he’s sure to never even look at a woman or a child in that place in a way that makes us sick and revolt. He’s focused and precise, in and out of there once he’s done doing what he wanted and got what he was looking for. That’s what makes his character someone even women are going gaga over. They’re not repulsed by what is associated with such gory characters usually. It’s why women can’t love Ranvijay from Animal but they love and adore both Jaskirat as well as Hamza from Dhurandhar series. The violent ways of these two maybe similar but their treatment of the women in their lives ranging from their mothers, sisters and wives is what sets them apart and why women love JSR/Hamza over Ranvijay and will continue to do so.
As for Dhurandar, I really liked Hamza and Yalina’s story too. They both genuinely cared and loved each other. I agree I liked how their scenes were handled. I didn't even watch Animal (don't want to either lol) 
Also my IG feed is full of Dhurandar posts lately The memes
