Though we criticise Ekta Kapoor for her stereotypic serials,Gul is no less. She has her own success formula too.
I have read on IF that the kind of chemistry Drashti and Gurmeet had could not be seen in Sanaya and Barun and subsequently in Surbhi and Karan. This could be right or wrong. I am not starting any argument here. But for myself I beleive what probably does grow typical on me is Gul's style.
After starting on QH (in late March this year) I watched some romance of Geet on youtube but I did not find it as appealing as original Geet fans. The reason might be that I don't know the story at all and did not care for it. Or may be because I had seen this type of romance on ArShi first who I had liked.
So basically I came to the conclusion that I can love Gul's formula passionately only once. I love QH for its story line and good actors but I amnot really thrilled with romance between the leads. The romance is typical Gul.
And I am like ok... Bubbly, self reliant but self sacrifising, wounded but happiness spreading, loving, compassionate heroine, Wounded and therefore angry-akdu type hero who is intense and passionate but has hidden his heart of gold from the world, their "Oh so natural" bumping in each other, fall and catch+eye locks, closed eyes+heaving chests and man picking up woman, delayed confession and sex, their bickering turned "passion" absolutely illogical hurdles in their ways, and male chauvinistic female fans of the male leads (who just refuse to believe that that their hero can go wrong!) on IF...
This is all Gul has... so I am kinda bored with Gul's monotony. Give me something really new Gul.
Guys this is a personal opinion an analysis of my experience with Geet, IPKKND and QH. I do not mean to hurt anybody.
Hey but I would love to hear your opinions too. Please do comment...
I had posted this opinion in the IPKKND or QH poll. But I thought I may express this to a wider audience so made apost.
