u guys r righttt :(
yaar after seeing so many cute love stories get ruined just for trps.. SPECIALLY MAYUR... i can't see another fav jodi of mine get ruined :(
@gaayu: yaar i REALLY hoep they don't forget all abt dhulwadi suraj.. i mean that is the whole base of shanak.. i don't want another nonsense geet style story.. jis mein koi story aaage nahi chal rahi bas falls eyelocks and PASSSIONATE scenes of lead pair just for trp... (no offense to geet fans..) ... but my point is, shanak has always had a diff style.. mild, simple, realistic, embedded in a background of suraj natassha dhulwadi... like sareeta said, rbo has a very deep social msg, that it has managed to depict in a very simple, very un-OTT type manner... in a 'content' based manner...
see some shows, u show hot lead pair scenes right from beginning, and then its just the "hot" and "intense" interactions that attracts fans.. but with rbo, it wasn't really the lead pair "hotness" that attracted, rather it was the story line.. per then the characters built on us, and as v started falling for them, v started going gaga over their cute and adorable scenes.. per agar sab kuch bhoool ke sirf shanak focused hi show ban jaye, with scenes such as this upcoming dreadful JTN types - toh phir toh 👎🏼 rbo has always had both comedy and romance and serious drama all mixed VERY WELL together in its episodes.. bas itna hi comedy aur romance ka interplay acha lagta hai.. yeh JTN type kuch zyada hi goofy, slapstick seem kar raha hai.. NOT GOOD..
ok so since i hadn't ranted abt this since the time i heard the news.. isi liye zara lambi posts ho gayi.. 😳 i'm done now! 😳

Afternoon guys (well to those who are in my time zone) 😛 ~

@ Veena: I hear ya about the day being crazy. Realistically, today is my only day off/weekend and there's so much to do and so little me that I am kind of overwhelmed too *hehehe*. But nothing's impossible, right? So making the most of it here 😉

@ All: I just saw the extended promo. Its amazing how this song sequence has been promoted like anything by the channel. Obviously, they want to attract audience for all the wrong reasons. They want to use Karan toned and waxed body to lure girls who'd gush all over seeing a dude strip his clothes in Ranbir's style. I am not digging this too much but I do have to commend Karan here for being a sport about it. There are many a times when actors/actresses do not wish to do a particular sequence for all the "right reasons" but can't help it or disapprove of it because of the Channel's/Production House's requirements. However, I am hoping that in future, they'd be vigilant in terms of not relying too much on Bollywood and rather sticking to the #1 distinctive attribute of this show, which for me is its content. I am not dreading to watch it but I am not jumping up & down either..

@ Scholar Ji: All-nighter again and that too with a headache? Hope u feel better soon, hun! Take a nap & relax. Health comes first, ok?

@ Rest of the crew who's off to sleep: G'nite & sweet dreams 😛

Cheers,
Sana~

hey dears/.
@sid4teamcanada.smartc,veena,tvrasika and all others
read ur comments on the new promos and ur convern at this trend being in RBO.
well I have to say this on the whole affiar.
First of all i do not think they are doing this mainly for TRPs alone.,because as far as i know u cannot sustain these sort of trps for a long time.It i becoming a sort of trend in Starone that it exposes male stars too frequently like this.It is either armaan,maan,shaan or mayank or some one every time.Peopl have started to expect this from starone.
It has become a signature mark for the channel to show stuff like this.,So the trps are nott he onlyfactor.,though it is also one main reason.
Second it is true that many of kts immature fans always keep mentioning about his body too often from his earlier LNMDJ It is highly likely that such fans write to the producer/channel
to show him like that.,and KT is too sportive in this whole thing.
And most importantly I think KT has all his eyes set on BW. Atleast it is so to me.He was one of the three leads with GK given the main work in LNMDJ.Though his work there was very much appreciated and his scenes with the pair there were considered too hot and too often.,
RBO is a big big break for him interms of showcasing his talents and carrying the show on his shoulders.He is the all in all male lead there and It is a hge huge opportunity for him.RBO was mainly introduced as a women show and Yashshri was/is the main aspect in the show but the cvs/director has given KT ample scope to perform which never happens in most shows.
And t he sees he is getting good responses for this then he may naturally like to make a route to BW.And BW surely needs all the body show stuff h that e shows in JTN.So KT would surely be too happy ingetting such a hughe publicty for his body.,along with acting OMG he seems to be a smart guy for his young age.
And coming to the shanak scenes i have this to especially to tv rasika.
They have started showing both shaaan/khanak together only recently before that they never even talked to each other properly
.And from what i get to read the pair of khanak (ym)/Shaan kt is liked by many as both are young.innocent looking ,with fine acting skills.
Infact people a re requesting for more intimate scenes between shaan/khanak stressing the fact that they are marriede and they can do such scenes onscreen.
Bu I must say t the cvs and director are good enough to realise that they cannot show so much so soon and they are sort of balancing it with some getting close together scenes., along with other scens.
AND please understand the show business is highly competitive and they cannot for long concentrate on dhulwadi,suraj and all ignoring shanak.
yes.,they need to adhere storyline more and I think they are doing it perfectly atleastr for time being.
People would watch all the story and all only if it is shown along with shaanak.So i think the cvs are doing it excellently by balancing it.
There are not here to make art film artistic ahowa s to sataisfy our aesthetic sense and all and they have to mean business.
Accepted RBO is done so well with subtle mention of social problem and all but still if u do not show shanak scenes closely atleast once in a while and I am very sorry people would just swap channel and forget RBO.So it is needed to show that way.,and this is only business first.Just for a section of people they cannot ignort what would perhaps the majority wants.The producer and channel ghave to make money out of the show first.
Having said that i must say the director and cvs of RBO are doing an excellent job by not overdoing it as far as shanak scenes are concerned d.,and hopefully do that in the near future as well.
Please understand that they cannot always be showing the problems like suraj ,dhulwadi especially because there is cut throat competion and more importanly one more show "TERE LIYE' which is full blown love story., at the same time spot.,that too by balaji who spend a lot on love scenes and other scenes.
f
so they have to take the story along with shanak.,and definitely they would not spoil the show like it has happened in many other shows.I am pretty confident about that.After all we have had so many comedy scenes as well.,with brilliant chances given to lead actors for these scens which they have also used well.
So we have to take so many factors into account before saying JTN is too mcuh and goofy and all that.
And they have promoted the song like anything and I am sure it will have a good impact for the show.
please i feel sorry if i overstepepd into anybody else's views but i am telling the fact outhere.
so let us wait and see how everything progresses before dismissing anything as unwanted and all.
luv shriya..

Hi shriya,

U can call me Sana 😛 ! Lovely reading your views on this topic 😊 ~

I can see your POV there, esp the fact that a lot of younger crowd does want to see Karan's body exposed like so and expects Star One to capitalize on it as well. However, trends and expectations are there to be twisted, turned around, broken & revamped. Just because there is a certain expectation out of a channel, one cannot undermine the need for creativity and the reliance on substance over such exposure. So yes, be it TRPs or the expectations, I am hoping that at least this show will not rely on it heavily in future. Once in a while is fine but not all the time. I used to be a huge DMG fan back in the day. U know what changed for me? The story!!! It became unbearable to watch it at one point. I never gave into the hyper of who's the better Ridz or how much reliance on Armaan's body became the high point of the show. But for me, the show was something new and fresh in terms of watching love bloom in b/w medical interns. For me, the content mattered and it went downhill after a few months..

Similarly, I'm hoping that RBO will stand its ground on its content and the wonderful acting of its cast members.

About Karan & his Bollywood dreams, I hope that they materialize for him but let's face it that not everyone has become an SRK after moving from t.v. to the celluloid. Loads of actors have had dreams, have had talent and skills to capitalize on it as well, but lack the opportunities and the timing for it to make it big. Reality becomes quite harsh for them. I'd hate for an actor to have his eyes set on Bollywood and not capitalize on his abilities in the soap that he's working in because often enough, he/she can lose sight of the very thing that made him/her popular in the hearts of people. I've seen actors in the past trying to leave the t.v world in hopes for making it big in Bollywood only to fall flat on their faces. Not saying that everyone of them should stop trying in fears of dejection there BUT one should not let go of the opportunity in hand in chasing dreams that are merely a figment of one's imagination.

Long story short... I hope Karan succeeds in Bollywood if he desires to go there but I also hope that he first gathers as much work experience as possible in t.v. medium and doesn't desert it while trying to get into Bollywood 😛 ~

No offense intended to anyone btw..😳

@ Shriya: Thank u for an interesting read there, hun 😛 ~

Gosh.. I gotta go for a while but will be back later 😳 ~

Nice talking to y'all 🤗 ~

Sana~

@sana
liked ur lovely post ther.
yeah.,me too used to watch DMG but no more for various reasons.But sad to say there many out there still watching whtever scrap being shown like sidhima and all that/( no offence meant)
I also want the old systems to be broken and new trend set in t.v.But the mpoint i wish to state is that they cannot fully do that because t.v is maninly an entertainment medium and with so mnay channels avaliable it is really really hard for sustanining people's interest in the show coninuously.
so they have to sort of resort to some sort of gimmicks to bring the vewers to watch it.That is what i meant.
coming to KTs Bw dreams so true yaar.ev erybody cannot be srk.,and there are various factors for becoming successuful of whcih kuck is also a very main factor.But looking a t the thorough professional intervies given by KT gives me an impression aht he is seriously trying for BW>May be i am not right also.
Btw t.v and films are two different concepts though both are entertainment.,films do not require so much acting skills like tv because it is going to run for only three hours or so., but otther factors like good body,etc.,s are mostly needed be it for men or women.
yeah.,KT should gain more experiemce in t.v.but i am also sure that he will jump once he gets a chance and may be try his luck fully.God forbid if he doesnot succeed in films then there is always the cushion of tv for him.This is my personal view.
but he is doing his part very well in RBO and using his opportunity pretty well especially because the male stars do not get so much part to act in tv.He has done complete justice to shaan;s role.
well all i wanted to say the tv business has become extremely competitive so along with good characters,good story,fine acting and all that such things like body show off are going to be a part and parcel of the futrue considering the kind of films the young age cateogy get to watch.I mean they would expect atleast a part of it on tv.
And primarly it is business for the channel.
But RBO is too good in balancing the various factors of entertainment.Hopefully it stays the same way.
So we have to take things like JTN ,and showerscenes in our stride.,as part of starone's business plans like they are doing in geet and wait patienlty to see how they fit these in the story
Any more talks is of no value.,except the wait.
have a nice week
luv shriya.

@ Shriya: Valid points there. This is why I really liked the YRF shows on SONY because they seemed to have a logical ending and even if another season is pursued, they will again be based on a definite set of episodes. This way, you exactly know where to start and where to end the story so that you don't have to stretch it out or drag it by imploring useless tracks.

I agree though that TRPs will continue to govern Indian Television, whether we like it or not. This is why I am liking the current chaska meter of I-F as it's giving a much logical insight into which shows are being watched more and which aren't. For the sake of TRPs, things will continue to happen and we'd have to swallow bitter pills at times whether we want it or not.

Gosh, I started at one point and look where we are right now 😆 ~ Let's get back to Karan and RBO. Hoping that everyone's dreams come true, be it Karan Tacker, RBO's production team, u, me or our other fellow members here. Dreams are there as aspirations and they definitely keep us motivated and focused 😃 ~

It was a pleasure, hun. Have yourself a wicked week ahead as well 🤗 ~

Cheers,
Sana~
