I just made this post to clarify it for once and all to all Abhishek fans that the fandom here has nothing against him. Some fans may get carried away , often merging the actor and the character together but everyone knows that an actor and the character that he plays are two DIAMETRICALLY different people.
I , for one, am a fan of Abhishek's talent as an artist. He and his chemistry and co-act with Ratan caught my fancy in 'Agle Janam...' and just for his portrayal of Chhote Thakur and his story with Laliya , i saw the show till the leap ruined it. That role was tailor made for Abhishek and that is how he shot to stardom and a very well deserved one. He brought a sensitive strength and beauty to his role.
Here , in DEK, the problem is NOT with Abhishek at all. He is doing his best to the scenes and the track being given to him. But what is he supposed to do if the character written out for him has failed to connect to the audience? What is his fault if the writers could not create the Aakash that they intended to. If the character has a weak structure , not even an Aamir Khan can put flesh into it.
Aakash is NOT Abhishek's fault. He is a talented actor who excels in serious and nuanced sensitive roles . Give him something solid on paper and a setting that he can merge in and watch him glow.
Lastly, its a humble request to fandom that kindly remember Abhishek is not Aakash and as far as i recall our education , we are supposed to be sensitive to everything and everyone around us. Respect Abhishek as a person and as an artist . Aakash is all fiction but Abhishek is real and real people deserve just as much respect as you do.
Love and luck always,❤️
GOD bless everyone. 🤗
