Ekta Kapoor-The Telly Queen, After entertaining us for almost a decade and giving the masses some memorable unforgettable heartwarming love stories Saas Bahu dramas and Family shows, breezed in with a completely different and unconventional stories like Bandini Pavitra Rishta Kitani Mohaabat hai and few more. Her Recent shows Bandini KMH Pavitra Rishta Pyaar ka Bandhan and Betaab dil ki tamanna hai, lack all shimmer glitz and glamour like in her previous soaps that created history, seem to be having a mixed response, some successful and some on the edge like Betaab.

Betaab a show when commenced raised a social issue which later got into the confines of a luxurious bungalow and the main concept was gone.But anyways the portrayal of beggars,showing the mindset of people who dont even get their 1 meal of day, their trials and self esteem, street scenes, ofcourse Shamoli and her sister's costumes makeup everything was phenomenal well shot and acted. Although everybody could not relate with the show but it did attract the audience for some reason. The story kept on going haywire many times but it indeed is quite a brave attempt by Ekta and the Actors who work in Betaab.

Hats Off to all the actors of Betaab solely for their brave and unique attempt.Actors like Sumana chose an off-beat show to kick start her career which is simply impossible for others i guess and getting criticism right from the day1 is always discouraging but Sumana only improved and improved .Actors like Aman Verma and Urvashi Dholakiya well known and established actors made quite a come back as the main leads, hats off to them for doing this show and they gave their 100% as always,doing a fabulous job. Karan Kundra-The lover boy who created magic with his very first show Kitani Mohabbat Hai, immensely talented chose the show where hez not playing the main lead.Its quite a pressure on actors like Karan Kundra who already made it and met unsurmountable success with his first show, its like competing with your own self, defeating and conquering yourself which didnt happen with this show.

Betaab is winding up on 25th feb,a fictional show yet highlighting the real truths and facts of todayz life.Ttrpz got increased but Indian audience( Talking of majority as not all stay in metro cities) is fragile and sentimental at heart.They still want to watch the stories wrapped in emotions ,or may be its just the variety of ppl liking variety of shows.
But all the actors deserve all the best wishes and praises for having done a show like Betaab, it was risky and it needed guts to do it.


SO BETAAB... INDEED A BRAVE ATTEMPT!!

awesum post, defo a brave attempt i think she lost the essence of shamoli's character in between thats why it was rejected... she became weak and gave up her love not for money but for teh goodness which was so not her, it was about money and winning and betaab dill ki tamanna wich was totally turned around with shamz turning weak and forgetting all about moneya nd becoming a adarshwaadi bahu, back to same old saas bahu tahts the reason ppl stopped watching like i did lol

no offence

Gr8 post....but one thing i wonder..yep it was a really brave attempt and one with a definite objective...but was there a story line or a completed script written...if so then was it followed...i have mu own doubts about that..becos somewhere down the line the purpose was defeated...why was it defeated..was it us viewers coming up with our demands that influenced changes in the storylineor script....or did they stick to the original one..i will never know about it....becos i believe yes cretives know best...and a storyline if originally chalked out shouldnt change ......yes viewers choices have to be considered....but do actors have to face the brunt of it..does it affect their careers...i keep wondering about this....becos KMH ended abruptly and last half of the story was compromised....Baytaab talked about the brave attempt on Shiny ahuja's rape case nd am still wondering where it went. nd we viewers do not want to see a rape happening..so has tht been compromised becos we do not want it?? do not know whther these qstns. of mine will be answeres or not...but i wonder....

Ekta lacks the consitency in treating her shows.. compare with Balika Vadhu.. its different.. touching the social issues bt yet its consistently gud... also she changes the traits of her characters drastically... tho the attempt was gud and brave one.. bt she cudnt maintain the concept, interest, and gud flow.. besides Sumana and Priyamvada the main protagonists were the biggest disappointments..! they lacked the gud screen presence and cudnt carry the show forward.. it proves from the fact tht inspite of such a huge publicity.. almost equal to Bhaskar Bharti.. it didnt even manage to stir forget getting into top 100s.. at least Bhaskar Bharti did for some time.. so Sony is not 2 b blamed totally... it did promote this show really very well .. bt the show jst didnt pick up coz it didnt serve wat was promised 2 us viewers in those really promising promos.. i still remember i was really v. impressed with Sumana Das in those promos.. bt wen i watched the show, she disappointed me.. mainly acting-wise... she mite have improved in acting bt she still lacks the screen presence.. she luks dull in presence of Aman, Urvashi, and Karan.. bt i think Priyamvada can make it.. she has developed a decent screen presence as well as improved decently in acting skills... and a talent like Karan was simply wasted here!!
