BALRAM / Basant Bhatt Appreciation Thread #4 - Page 13

Hot off the presses, from the man himself - may I present Basant as Lakshman! ⭐️👍🏼😊 He looks fabulous!!! And he actually looks younger than Sumedh's Ram, which is great! ⭐️

I fully got reminded of Karn and Vrishsen because of the surya tilak, and of Kartikeya because of the red and gold. And of all three because of the bow and arrows! 🏹

I'm not getting my hopes up because of the way they've been treating Balram's character recently, but seeing as they are actually showing Lakshman, they should give him his due importance!

It's cool that Basant gets to now play his first younger brother role, with all his previous TV characters being either the elder brother or an only child. I hope he is given the scope to further show his versatility in this role, especially in now playing younger brother to the actor he has always played big brother to, and in getting to play a character who is a known prince (Balram is actually a prince but not known to the society he lives in, and Vrishsen, a prince of Anga, was shown more in warrior mode rather than prince mode in "Suryaputra Karn").

Basant is certainly fantastic in all his big brother roles, but this will be good to help ensure he doesn't get typecast as "the elder brother" - not that he should be typecast at all, given the versatility he has displayed to date.

And BTW, Swastik Productions is continuing their tradition of giving Basant interesting ear jewellery: first with Karn's cool and famous earrings in SK, then Balram's snake ear pieces, and now Lakshman's interesting, cute little earrings! ⭐️

@blue bold that’s what I was wondering. The make up artist did well he looks great

@black bold same...I will try to keep my hopes low so if something good does happen then maybe I can be happy. I just have one hope...please don’t make Lakshman a joke or a comedian. That’s one thing that will kill me from the inside.

Sorry Ramayan (many different versions from the book to tv shows to even the cartoon) is something that I grew up with and at most I have only seen Lakshman’s short temper being made fun of. Balram is a fine and funny character that Basant pulled of nicely. CVs just made him the character everyone makes fun of now. I just am worried they will do that with Lakshman. If they do not do that I will be very happy.

@green bold he is a great actor and if another production house takes him up they will notice his acting potential. Swastik may keep him as big brother (again maybe unless there is an other actor who can play his older brother in another show)

So you won the bet what happens now 😆 I had given up on any hopes from CVs

because of your best wishes and aarti's ashirvaad 🤣

chalo koi baat nahi, its ok 😆 glad to get bb as laskshman ❤️

she has demanded her due what else 😆 two brand new edits from me 😆

looks like the ear pieces caught everyone's attention 😳 i loved all the accessories of lakshman, BB looking dashing.

a regal aura in body language and humility on face ❤️😳

just that i would have loved it more without the forehead accessory. he had one as vrishsen also, but karn looked better imo. btw his lakshman look is totally reminding us of karn as arti mention 😃 as grown up karn continue kiya hota toh look approx 90 percent similar hota.

i don't know how much they will show in ramayan track but i know they shot the swayamvar sequence yesterday and they have casted chetan hasnnraj as ravan. spotted surpnakha too.... so that is coming for sure.

Basant looks, tremendously handsome as lakshman!!!☺️☺️☺️

Karn ki waapsii!😆❤️

Though, they look very young to play ram and lakshman!😆

Though, basant looks younger to sumedh, maybe coz of their age, but they look more as BOYS than MEN!! Though i would love to see them playing, teenage ram and lakshman in any other show!!!❤️

I can't imagine, sumedh's ram, going to vanvaas and killing ravan!😆 KISHOR hai dono abhi bhi!😆

But CVs ki meherbaani, at least they acknowledged lakshman!

Muzhe toh laga tha, directly ram-sita ke swyamvar se hi start hogi, ram avatar hi story!

Small mercies swastik!😆

Here is a new behind-the-scenes photo posted today by RK cast member Nitesh Sippy Soni of himself with Basant in his Lakshman costume. ⭐️

Hahaha😆 that’s a good gift

Also I am happy to see Basant as Lakshman too. He also has his long hair again which I forgot to add last time. That could be another reason for the Karn vibe (other then the obvious bow and arrow)

I completely forgot to say this on Monday. This is something definitely on the editors of the show but why did they make Ram remember Sita while hugging Lakshman. A bit weird but funny at least for me. 😆 I mean he could have done the same when not hugging him. It was just edited in an interesting way.

yeah @sukhi , sumedh is totally looking like some 17-18 year old guy 😲though he is trying his best to look as mature as he can

btw isn't RK ravan a bit too old to come to swayamvar to marry teen sita 🤔

@arti thanks alot for posting that offscreen pic, looks like from swayamvar shoot. hope we get to see more of laksman.

@janu yes its the combo of open hair, bow arrow and sun teeka that's reminding of karn 😊

this new haat and samaan bechna track is boring 🥱no wonder they are giving lolipops of ramayam in installments in between this.

Tusu, except, mallika, sumedh and basant, all other characters are name sake!😆

Paisa dekhe, extras ko bss laake khadaa krr diyaaa!😆

Already the other RAMAYANA which swastik made is in danger!😆

Socha hoga, side characters prr itnaa kharcha kyu kre!😆

Yeah tusu! Sumedh is trying very hard to look and behave like a MAN! But, age saath nai deti!😆

He's very boyish u see, in looks!

Maybe a bit of stubble can make him look older!

Or maybe some physique!😆

Even basant has boyish features, but his physical appearance, compensates for that!😆
