in india people want costars linked that is best way of promoting movies and now serials
look at majority superstars they have affairs, fights with press, some controversy or other. When their film is just around this all happens to attract attention of audience to film/serial later on they that same heroine becomes some stranger. Its high time we realize the gimmicks. These are just promotion tactics to succeed their film/serial/show. Even big actors like Khans have used all these gimmicks to bring their movies to limelight.
In india true talent does not/rarely gets any appreciation or success. Good serials have low trps and oft repeated story serials have high trps based on such gimmicks. Same goes for movies.
Its high time we starts respecting and promoting real talent not gimmicks. Same happens to awards deserving never get awards only lobbying wins. Then only good actors like Manoj bajpai, Gautam Rode, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, etc will get reconition and fame they deserve. But seeing these blind fan worship it will be many years/generations when real talent will suceed/win awards.
Regarding Jennifer/GR initially i found Jenny unsuitable for this role but she is improving by the day. I think this is because Jenny is bubbly fun loving whereas kumud is a very mature character and role. Her chemistry with GR was initially lacking/akward but now improving. Regarding their personal equation it does not matter if they are friends or not.
But i observed in india successful pairs are usually people who were linked in real life too like dilip kumar-madubala, dharmendra-hemamalini, amitabh-rekha, srk-kajol etc. So i am not sure lets see the success of this show till end. Its best to be friends with your costar but married woman in india have boundaries set by society. Hence married actresses get scared to show that they are friendly with their male costars with whom they work. May be they get scared of the link ups which may spoil their married life. But these boundaries are not there for married actors. That is main reason married heroines are not taken till very recently in movies. Once they are married their career was over. Even now for intense romantic movies married heroine are not paired with actors only for offbeat roles they are taken or family entertainers. In india audience do not like to see married heroines paired opposite heros. This does not happen in hollywood.
