Have posted this in Media thread, but also want to post it here. One of my last write-ups. 😊
As speculations galore with streaming live feeds on new tracks in coming days...

The show's USP is that everyone has to have negative shades and no one should be Doodh ka Dhula, Right in those traditions, MK will be the Dagabaaz, Dhokebaaz and Beimaan.
But isn't it unfair that Radhaji and Bittuji who have been standing in queue to turn bad, have been beaten by Dead Soul Mohan Kundra ?
Un dono ki baari kab aayegi ?

Just now read that Ovi's role in Pavitra Rishta is now axed. The girl didn't even know her role was coming to an end and has been waiting at home...aaj aayega PH se call, Kal aayega. Now it dawns on her that her role is done with. She was saying, now I have to look for new job...
And come to think of it, because of her coming in between Purvi and Arjun, I stopped watching Youtube videso of Arvi. And now I get to know that Arjun and Purvi have a baby together (out of wedlock) which is the reason Ovi left for Canada in anger...Hey Bhagwan, Satyanaas kar dete hai kahani ki aur mazaak banaate actors ka, by not telling them the story beyond one episode.
Hope Ovi finds a new employment for her.

Just take the story of MEIEJ as completely NEW from today. Think as if you are seeing a couple getting married, a couple about whom you don't know a thing. And everything else will be from new perspective...like they started Season2 for Na Bole...No one could have imagined Megha and Mohan separated and bigger twist was Nanhi could hate Mohan.
What will happen is old viewers will leave, New will join MBLand as they emigrate from other showlands and regular IdiotBox watchers will see anything.
I know for sure that NONE of the MEIEJ actors knows what is coming up in future episodes. Perfect example is DD. She truthfully says, I don't know, I haven't got the script...Bas abhi tak to yeh hua hai. You see AR speaking the same. So VD will be no different. He will also not know what's going to come. (But he must be happy Vahbiz will be doing a character role in Savitri. Their mutual friend Kishwer Merchant got a major role in Savitri...guess that's how Vahbiz got this one.
So let the actors just act...let the writers weave their ugly twists...and let us give our judgement in fair and square manner on the creative output.

Even TV industry is getting as cruel as Film Industry. Both have different schedules. Actors are not spared in both cases, just like treatment is across different plane and time.
They have turned reality shows into circuses to gain TRP and soaps are no better. Gruelling rehearsal and show schedules just like circus. First the circus attracts you and then you realize what it is to be part of Circus and perform in Circus. Was watching this 4 or 3 or 5 yrd old Om Chhetri's Malkhamb dance on Youtube DID Lil MAsters video. What are they doing ? Nothing short of showing a Madaari Natch (with kids being essential part of the acts) on Streets and collecting pennies
There's no difference in Present TV shows and Older decades shows like Folk Theater, Nautanki shows and Circus.....then those genres and its crew used to travel here and there to show their ACTS to NEWER AUDIENCE in new villages, Venues...now The TV is ONE SUPERMARKET and we viewers have to keep moving to newer shelfs to watch different Shows. Banjaron ki Zindagi hai Yeh !
Just remember Art and Entertainment do not go on forever. Its an ACT with its own shelf-life. The Success is Sweet with the Applause and after the Applause is Pain...Sometimes, I guess Failure with Ande and Tamater thrown at them is also good as they get chutti from work at least for sometime...that's why some of these actors keep stressing on a balancing partner, family life as anchorage away from illusions and harsh realities alike. One doesn't need to have too much pleasure and Pain given to him/her.
Was watching Geet Gaata Chal...I was impressed how they show all Nautanki lead actors and creatives were drinking in the night and one of the lead performer, new in line, keeps bargaining for his increase of salary right in the middle of the act with his employer. Was remembering so many movies and stories around the same of that kind...including western shows.
I have come to these conclusions by being this analyst for some TV shows, discussing it at length with all of you. While it made me step into different shoes as the reviewer and I have enjoyed it learning a lot on the process of building up an Act...I guess it is more normal for us to act like the INNOCENT SPECTATOR, to just wait for the act, watch it and either clap for having liked it or get up and leave for being displeasing without any hard feelings. I think important thing is for us to still see ART as ART without any Moh-Maaya beyond what they represent. We just need to see something and judge and NOT SPECULATE by adding our wishes and spoiling the ACT for everyone other fellow viewers and artists alike. The Media News adds Publicity, but respectable Crowd/Audience is one which has its own mind on what they want to see and does not get swayed by publicity gimmicks...Those are only to add moving crowd who depend on NEWS to watch a show and NOT on their innate sense of what they want to watch.
Just categorize yourself into which you want to fall. You seek quality from Entertainment, You need to set your own standards. Quality is not something you beg for. You expect it or you do not expect it. Period. All I see is emotional flux and not a true admirer of ACTS and Performances.

As I kid - 5yrs old - I watched Circus for the first time. I was mesmerized. I had been thinking about it all night and for days. That was in Gujrat.
Then I may have been 8 or 9 years old. Was in my Uncle's house for 3-4 days and it was a town in my native state. Cousins took me to Circus in the night. Enjoyed it as it is such a thrilling experience. And now with cousins of same age group, we could discuss more and have our explorations further. In the morning, we got up...planned to make a visit to the circus in day-light. And we did. And we saw the de-glamorized world of Circus...nevertheless it was awesome for us...just like we see stories how children out of curiosity make a visit to these places.
This is so natural...so mundane thing. All kids grow up like this.
But the one who really is passionate one...is the one who sets himself to Practice, to Learn, to Focus. They are truly MILES apart from people like me. But the best I can do is Appreciate them for their Passion and Hard Work and respect them.
